You guys know what happens once pumpkin season arrives, as soon as fall hits everyone freaks out and gets that crazy pumpkin spice look in their eyes. I'm not knocking it, I am on the pumpkin train too. That is why when I found these low carb pumpkin cheesecake bites over at Low Carb With Jennifer, I couldn't wait to make them! I made them for our keto mixer last Sunday and they were a HUGE hit! I must admit, I made about 30 of them and only 15 actually made it to the mixer. Oops! Thank you, Jennifer, for this delicious recipe! I can't wait to make them again :)
