You Had Me At Pumpkin Spice



If you're anything like me, you love this time of year. It means beautiful colors, crisp autumn air, and of course...pumpkin spice everything!! Seriously...I'm so obsessed it may be ridiculous.

So I went on the hunt for the best of the best and made a list of everything pumpkin that I want to try this fall or have tried in the past. I found yummy drinks, desserts, snacks and more! Enjoy!


DRINKS:

Market Pantry Pumpkin Spice Eggnog -Target $2.50


TRIED: This stuff is like crack! No joke, I could chug the whole carton in one sitting. It's the perfect mix of pumpkin and spice. I know a lot of people don't like things with overpowering pumpkin tastes, so this is perfect!



Archer Farms Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa Mix - Target $4.99


WANT: I'm a sucker for flavored hot cocoas! But I couldn't bring myself to buy this yet because it's still 90+ degrees outside! But you better believe when it finally cools down here in Texas, I'll be heading back to Target for a box of this stuff.



Pumpkin Spice Milkshake - Steak N Shake  $3.89


WANT: I didn't even know there was a Steak N Shake here, but now that I do I'm hitting up the drive through for one of these bad boys!




Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Blended Creme - Starbucks $3.25+

TRIED: So I only tried this once last year and honestly, I didn't love it. It seemed a bit bland. Maybe I'll give it a second chance this year!



BREAKFAST:
Pumpkin Pancake and Waffle Mix - Trader Joe's $1.99

WANT: I picked a box of this up a couple days ago and can't wait to try it! Such an affordable price and usually everything from Trader Joe's is delicious!



Pumpkin Bagels - Trader Joe's $ with Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese - Walmart $3

TRIED: Yes, yes, yes! This cream cheese spread was AMAZING! I had some reservations about putting it on a pumpkin bagel thinking it'd be too much, but it was divine. I'd probably eat this combo every day, but there's a good chance I'd weigh like 500 pounds. So I'll be limiting this treat to around once a week, but the nice thing is cream cheese lasts forever and bagels can freeze! If there's no Trader Joe's near you, Thomas brand also has some pumpkin bagels that you can get at almost any grocery store.


Pumpkin Spice Rolls - Walmart $3.50

WANT: Well I'm already obsessed with cinnamon rolls so these have to be amazing! Right? Has anyone tried these?




Special K Pumpkin Spice Crunch Cereal - Walmart $2.50

TRIED: I love this cereal! The pumpkin taste is subtle and it has the perfect amount of cinnamon. It doesn't taste artificial of fake, it's light and refreshing. And it's on sale at Target right now!



Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Waffles - Kroger $3.79

TRIED: So I originally got these for Shawn to try since they're gluten free, but I ended up trying one and loving it! Much like the Special K cereal I talked about above, these waffles are a little bit pumpkin and a little bit cinnamon. Plus they're organic so even better!




Pumpkin Spice Frosted Mini Wheats - Target $2.50


WANT: I'm normally not a huge Mini Wheats fan, but let's be honest...they're pumpkin spice so I have to try them.



Pumpkin Spice Bread - Walmart $3

TRIED: This bread is yummy and so perfect with warm butter spread on it! Not overpowering pumpkin taste and great for a little treat.



Pumpkin Pie Toaster Pastries - Target $2.99

TRIED: I could eat these all. day. long. The perfect blend of pumpkin, cinnamon and pastry goodness. They're organic as well. Who doesn't love a good pop tart?!




Pumpkin Spice Cheerios - Target $2.50

TRIED: I've been a fan of Cheerios since I was a little girl. I remember getting so excited about all of the different flavors they had. Then a couple of years ago my love for them grew when they announced that all of their cereals would now be certified gluten free. Yay! Shawn and other Celiacs could now eat them. And just when I thought they couldn't get any better, they go and invent Pumpkin Spice Cheerios!


Pumpkin Spice Instant Oatmeal - Target $3.09

WANT: For the last couple of years, I've been making my own oatmeal packets because they're healthier and cheaper. But I would probably make an exception for these because they're a somewhat healthy, organic and pumpkin spice version of store bought instant oatmeal haha!


SNACKS:
Pumpkin Tortilla Chips - Trader Joe's $2

WANT: I've never heard of pumpkin tortilla chips before but saw them somewhere paired with a fall harvest salsa and I thought it sounded delicious!




Spiced Pumpkin Pie Clif Bar - Walmart $1.50

WANT: Clif Bars are so yummy and I can't wait to try this one! But...I hope it's not overly pumpkin tasting, because some of the limited time Clif Bar flavors are too much. Fingers crossed that it's to die for! Any one tried these yet?




Pumpkin Spice Biscuits - Walmart $2.98

TRIED: These were surprisingly really good! They taste more cinnamon-y than pumpkin-y but maybe that's why they're a refreshing fall snack, perfect for those who don't love pumpkin but maybe want a hint of it.




Pumpkin Spice Pretzels - Target $2.99

WANT: Yogurt covered pretzels have always been a weakness of mine. Add pumpkin spice into the mix? You better believe I can't say no!




Pumpkin Spice Kettle Corn - Walmart $2.53

WANT: The original version of this is amazing so I have to imagine that this version would be pretty delicious too. No fake ingredients, gluten free...sounds good to me!




Pumpkin Butter - Trader Joe's $2

WANT: So I currently have this sitting in my pantry and I can't wait to try it! But I want some good suggestions. What would be the best way to eat this? What should I put it on?




Pumpkin Spice Pretzel Nuggets - Auntie Anne's $3

TRIED: Sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin spice...of course these were delicious! They're not very healthy, but hey once in awhile a girl's gotta splurge.



DESSERTS:
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Sandwiches - Whole Foods $5

WANT: These look so good! I'm a sucker for ice cream sandwiches and since it's still blazing hot here in Dallas, these seem like the perfect treat!



Pumpkin Pie Blizzard - Dairy Queen $3

WANT: Blizzards are my jam! Any time of year, even if it's freezing outside, I'm always down for one of these. I'm so excited to try this one soon!




Pumpkin Spice Cookie Straws - Walmart $6.98

WANT: Um, yes please! I don't know what else to say about these besides the fact that they're from Starbuck's, they're cookies and they're pumpkin spice. Win, win, win!



New York Style Pumpkin Cheesecake - Kroger $3.99

WANT: My sister said this stuff is amazing and having tried and loved several other Private Selection ice creams, I believe it! Y'all know that I have a small obsession with ice cream so it's probably no surprise that I want to try this haha.




Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Bark Thins - Target $4.59

WANT: I love other flavors of Bark Thins so I'm looking forward to trying these too! I know they're a bit pricey, but for a one time splurge to try them out...worth it!



Pumpkin Spice Oreos - Walmart $2.98

WANT: Who loves Oreos? This girl does! I'm hesitant to try these because the originals are so dang good and any other flavor may taint that. Plus, I can totally see these being too pumpkin-y. But I won't know if I don't try. Anyone recommend these?




Pumpkin Spice Scone Mix - Trader Joe's $3.69

WANT: Scones are so tasty, but I rarely buy them because Shawn can't eat them and they aren't super good for you. But if I was recommending things for this list that were healthy, there'd be nothing on it!




Pumpkin Spice Cookies - Milano $2.98

WANT: The original flavor of these are pretty good so I have to believe that the pumpkin spice ones would be also. I saw a lot of sources recommend these so I will try them eventually, but there's definitely other desserts on this list that are more of a priority!





Pumpkin Ginger Ice Cream Cones - Trader Joe's $2.99

WANT: Can y'all imagine having a scoop or two of that New York Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream on one of these bad boys?! I can.




Pumpkin Spice Werther's Caramels - Target $3.99

WANT: Um, yes please! I grew up eating the original Werther's candies with my grandpa and have come to love them. They have sentimental value and remind me of my late grandpa. So I may be biased, but Werther's also makes dang good products so I have high hopes for these!

Well, there you go! A pretty extensive list of everything pumpkin you gotta try this fall. If you have anything to add to the list or more suggestions, leave a comment below! Happy Friday!
