Fall is nearly here, and that can only mean one thing — the pumpkin spice craze is about to be in full swing. We’ve gone over some of the zanier pumpkin spice products, but what makes it so delectable anyways?

And with such a simple ingredient list, it’s easy to make your own perfect pumpkin spice!
