Deep-Fried Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Amy of Oh, Bite It! Creates a Crispy Twist on the Starbucks Drink

The Deep-Fried Pumpkin Spice Latte is not something people will find in their local Starbucks, that is unless some creative executive decides to buy the idea off of the blog Oh, Bite It!. It is a twist on the classic seasonal beverage that essentially involves dipping bite-sized pieces of pound cake in Pumpkin Spice Latte and then deep-frying. Topped with cinnamon, powdered sugar or whipped cream, the Deep-Fried Pumpkin Spice Latte is a dessert that will make anyone salivate this fall.

What makes the Deep-Fried Pumpkin Spice Latte even more special are all the fun ways that it can be presented and served. Whether piled in a Starbucks cup or arranged on a platter with the iconic green stir sticks pierced into them, they will be a fun snack at parties.
