Welcome to Cupcake Tuesday! I’m so glad to have you! I have updated the Cupcake Heaven page, there are over 150 designs and recipes! Check it out!!
Do you have your Thanksgiving Menu all set? I hope not, because you are going to want to add these Pumpkin Praline Cupcakes! Now…although I understand that cupcakes aren’t typically what you think of when you bake for Thanksgiving, but Pumpkin and Pecans… definitively!!
When I spotted this Praline Pumpkin Cake over on Betty Crocker, I knew right away that I wanted to change the recipe and make some cupcakes to share with you all.
As you all know, I love quick and easy, and starting with a cake mix makes these just as easy as can be. I tried baking the cupcakes with the praline on the bottom like the cake has, but they just didn’t turn out all that well. So I opted to drizzle the praline on top and add some Cinnamon Whipping Cream, you can of course use Cool Whip if you like.
A delicious pumpkin treat for Thanksgiving or anytime. Recipe from HoosierHomemade.com

Wow! So beautiful, I could eat them off my computer screen. And this is coming from someone who’s not terribly fussy about sweets.
Thanks for the recipe. This is great to make with the kids, even though we don’t really celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK.

Oh My!! Those look divine. Will be trying this recipe. I might need to try them out a few times before serving them to my guests, just to make sure I get it right (wink, wink).
