Fall is a great season to try new things especially new treats. Personally, it brings out the mood to just relax and bake. These are my favorite and best top 10 recipes for delicious treats for this fall. Give them a try!

1. Toasted Pumpkin seeds

This is an easy and yet a yummy treat to make.

• All you need is pumpkin seeds from inside a pumpkin, an oven, an oven pan, and salt. Pre-heat oven to about 300 degrees,Wash pumpkin seeds so salt sticks to them,apply salt, and put in the oven when ready. Then,take them out when they are golden brown

2. Pumpkin pie is a holiday favorite for Thanksgiving.
