The days are a bit shorter, the nights a bit longer. There’s a slight chill in the air, the leaves are changing colors. Shorts are swapped for sweaters, lawn mowers for rakes. It can mean only one thing:
Pumpkin Spice Season.
At first, it was your simple pies. Then the lattes. But now: cereal, granola, creamer, yogurt, beer, butter — the list keeps growing. There’s even pumpkin spice treats for dogs.
If you’re geared up for your PSL fix, embrace it. Here are some of our favorites offered through Shop Your Way.
And while you’re enjoying your pumpkin spice experience, give this seasonal sweepstakes a try. The secret codes for the Instant Win Game (naturally) are: pumpkin, spice, fall.
And let us know – what’s the wildest pumpkin spice product you’ve ‘fallen’ for? 😉
I just luv punkin butter
oh its so so so good everyone in the family just loves it
@anglhrtduv – sounds delish!
Another Pumpkin Spice product: Twinkies filled with Pumpkin Spice creme!
I hope they go on sale!
@JimPat – do share if you find them -♥️Twinkies!
Krispy Kreme’s pumpkin spiced glazed donuts…yum!
Those deserve two ‘yums’! Thanks, @Angela
Love blueberry Belvitas had no idea they offered pumpkin spice!!! Sounds great with Bolthouse chia tea soy milk!!! If soy is not your thing you can steep cup of chai tea with two bags for extra kick, add diamond almond milk, agave syrup, vanilla, dash of sea salt and pinch of sugar in raw! Hemp, coconut, cow’s and any other milks would also substitute as well. Hope someone enjoys this suggestion. I’ve been told it’s an acquired taste however if you dig pumpkin spice anything you’ll probably like this beverage too 😉 Enjoy the cooler weather and holiday festivities 🍁Love the Fall 🏕
@Samantha – thanks for all of the suggestions – they all sound delish!
Linda Stehman has a good point. I wholly agree with everything she said. Kim Brown pumpkin mousse sounds awesome. Pumpkin creme bru’lee is AWESOME 😎
Ladies could even consider literally spicing up the bedroom with some nutmeg and ginger in personal lube 🦋
Pumpkin spice coffee with a pumpkin spice muffin with cream cheese icing. A perfect start to the day.
@Tabitha: thanks! That does sound like a perfect start.
Ghirardelli makes a fabulous pumpkin spice caramel filled chocolate! They are far better than they sound!
@Brandy – they sound pretty fantastic…
I love fall as Casey’s have pumpkin cake donuts that are delish! The best!
@Sherry: Mmmmmmmm…..donuts. Anytime of year!
Everyone knows that I LOVE PUMPKIN SPICE!!!! My favorite pumpkin spice treat was Lance Nekot Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies! They were so delicious that I purchased all of the boxes that were available in the store. I called the other grocery store across town to purchase the ones they had but they were sold out. When I realized that they were discontinued, I emailed the company to beg them to continue. They politely told me they were discontinued (insert sad face here)!
Sorry about that experience, @Deedee – at least you were able to buy some of the last ones.
Pumpkin Mousse (made with ricotta and canned pumpkin, some sweetner, lil pumpkin
syrup ) mm baby let it whip , with some cool whip too.🤠
@Kim: Yummmmmm! Is there an official recipe?
@Kim – thanks for the idea – decadent and creative.
Why wait? Look in the spice section for pumpkin pie spice then sprinkle it into anything. One does not even need the pumpkin or if you think you do you could use sweet potato or zucchini and reproduce the same texture. I’m just saying pancakes, coffee, ice cream just add the spice AS MUCH as you Want.
Great tips @Linda – headed to the grocery store to buy the extra large shaker of PS.
Blue Moon Pumpkin beer! Their’s is the best!!
@Michele – like the way you think. Question: do you still serve it with an orange slice…or a pumpkin slice? (Hey, both are orange!)
Pumpkin spice mini scones are to die for
@Janice – do you buy them or bake them yourself? Do tell!
I like the pumpkin pie blizzard by dairy queen have to have one every year when they have them.
@Marsha – why limit it to one? 🙂
I made a pumpkin pie spice cheesecake a couple weeks ago! It turned out awesome the flavor of the pumpkin was perfect and cheesecake the same! Neither flavor overwhelmed the other! I will definitely be making it again!
Yum! @Mary, please share the recipe here!
I really like the Cherrios + Mini Wheats no need for milk just a nice snack…
@Sharon – great idea – pumpkin spice cereal on the go!
I love pumpkin spice. I’ve had the pumpkin spice frosted flakes and omg they were so amazing. Like eating pie but with the best texture. It was better then the Cheerios version. & that ben and jerry pumpkin cheese cake ice cream is a hit too!
@Mimi- you sure know your pumpkin spice products! 🙂
For dinner tonight I had pumpkin Spice MM’s. They were good, not great, but I’ll probably buy them again. PS Coffee Creamer is my most favorite. I add whipped cream with Pumpkin Spices for an extra kick. Yum. It’s really annoying it’s only available this time of year. Soon as the shelves are empty of it I get depressed until I can get more. Glad you all mentioned all the PS products. I had no idea most existed. Question, why would anyone give a rats whiskers if it’s a fad? If they don’t like it just ignore it. In the interim those of us that LOVE it can flourish in the flavor until January.
@Kate – you have a solid point there. Here’s to HOPING the flavor lasts until January!
My friends gave me a surprise on my 50th birthday. 50 pumpkin gifts wrapped in Orange paper. Some were candles, and decorative. But oh the pumpkin spice. Pop tarts, oreos, candy, cereal, tea, coffee, even pumpkin pasta . Yep pumpkin shaped pasta. Think my favorite is pumpkin spice coffee and tea. I drink it all year
@Rana – so cool! Pictures, please – post on the Shop Your Way Facebook page — https://www.facebook.com/shopyourway
Thanks!
Pumpkin Spice dog treats.
‘Nuff said
@Bob – or is it “Ruff said”?
Anything Pumpkin Spice sounds good to me Maggieb
So happy to see Pumpkin spice Life cereal! I looked everywhere last year for them after my first 2 boxes and they were sold out everywhere. The best EVER!!!🎃
@Nancy – lesson learned, thanks. Stock up now 🙂
Celestial Seasonings Pumpkin Spice Tea is AMAZING!!!!
If you mean their Sweet Harvest Pumpkin black tea, it makes the best ice tea!
Souneds very much like fall, @Cindy!
I like my pumpkin spice coffee creamer but something I think sounds amazing is a while back a grocery store had a coffee flavored ice cream with what tastes like Cool Whip swirled through the ice cream I bet that would be amazing with pumpkin pie ice cream with the Cool Whip swirled through it
@Y.N. – you’re on to something there. Please share what it was like!
I can’t WAIT for the pumpkin spiced Cheerios! Oh yeah!
Pumpkin Spice Cheerios….
Pumpkin Spice Waffles
Seems to be a fan favorite, @Bellatrix!
I love pumpkin spice oreo’s – problem is they are only around for approx 3 weeks in my area!
@Eve – great time to stock up! 🙂
Ben and Jerry’s Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream!!!
And the graham cracker swirl…thanks, @Christine!
It seems as if the pumpkin spice craze has gotten out of hand. There are other fall flavors that are worthy of the extreme push. What about caramel apple, or cinnamon caramel apple? I, personally, just don’t get it!
Can’t go wrong with any combination of cinnamon, apple, and caramel. Thanks, @Dianna!
K cups not as pumpkin flavored as I remember them last year; 2 much time in the warehouse? Still good.
Not sure, @WD. Agree — still good!
Love pumpkin spice pancakes when I can taste it above the syrup. Most mixes are too mild. Cant wait to try the Cheerios. Yeh
They’re GREAT!!!!
Sounds like @Connie is a breakfast lover! Is there a special pancake mix you use?
Love the fall always have, my favorite “pumpkins pice flavor is the coffee I look forward to by Dunkin Doughnuts, But……I got to admit, as much as I love the flavor that comes out at this time of year, they are over doing it. This once upon a time special treat of flavor, has now become a culinary over load. Even candles, body sprays, & room fresheners , have jumped on board. Be picky, choose what you think is acceptable, write to the companies in question , don’t support the product, and they will stop its production. Autumn is a beautiful time of year, time seems to slow down just a bit, a time to reflect & enjoy what nature’s paint palate of sight, sounds and smells. wishing everyone a beautiful Autumn.
Very well said.
@Beth – Autumn IS a beautiful time of year – check out this story that celebrates its beauty: https://blog.shopyourway.com/index.php/2018/09/18/leaf-peeping-enjoying-fall-foliage/
I love pumpkin rolls and pumpkin whoopie pies
Thanks, @Lisa. Pumpkin whoopie pies – cool! Anyone else try these?
I couldn’t resist dipping my finger into the pool of molten wax at the base of my Aromatique Pumpkin Spice candle. It tasted just like a Crayola!
@Goldie- now THAT’S expanding the pumpkin spice menu.
My friend makes the best pumpkin bread. When I pair that with a pumpkin spice latte, I am in a very happy place. 🙂
I love pumpkin spice EVERYTHING!!
Oh my goodness! That sounds delish!!! I also love the Pumpkin Ice Cream.
Thanks @Markita – pumpkin spice bread + latte does make for a happy place.
I like the pumpkin ice cream 🍦and bread for now that is all that I have tried.
@Angelia: sounds like you’re ready to expand your pumpkins spice menu!
I got overwhelmed with all the pumpkin latte etc products 3 years ago and now dread the advent of pumpkin flavors. I am more of a nut maple flavor for fall and stop overdoing it.
@Sherry – there ARE a lot of pumpkin spice latte products…maybe nut maple will be the next big trend!
Kuerig pumpkin spice kcups, Handels pumpkin ice cream or Cheryl’s pumpkin spice cookies! Ummm!!
Ummm…
@Linda – the ice cream and cookies sound regional, right? Ohio? Michigan?
Pumpkin spice marshmallows toasted upon your sweet potatoes. Yummy.
Have to try that, @Kaylene! Great suggestion.
I like them all but disappointed they are only seasonal
@Cindy: Agreed! Now how to get fall to last longer….
Pumpkin Spice BelVitas are perfect with strong coffee on a Fall morning.
@Nick: Pumpkin spice + Belvitas + coffee? Yes, please!
Pumpkin spice pop tarts. I found them 6 years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter. A glass of chocolate milk and my pumpkin pop tart, made for a happy mommy to be. Now I can’t wait for them every year to come back onto the shelves.
Thanks, Heather! Mommy-to-be or not, it sounds like a delicious treat.
So glad you said that!! I have been eyeing the pumpkin Poptarts but I was afraid they were gross. I see a trip to Food Lion in my very near future!! 😊
Pumpkin spice coffee creamer with toast and butter
Thanks, Jennifer! Now that sounds like a breakfast of champions – in the fall, anyway.
Oh now that sounds good. I just lost my mom and this would be a good way to start your day. A hint of mama’s love. Right up her alley!
👍
Love it also
The craziest pumpkin spice product that I got suckered into purchasing were Fannie Mae turtles. I could not believe this product existed when I saw it and it peaked my curiosity. They were gross.
Jessica: those sound…interesting. What pumpkin spice product do you prefer?
Pumpkin spice donuts
Me too! I live outside of Mexico City, and we have a Krispy Kreme here. They had the donuts 2 seasons ago, but last year after I was all geared up to go get a box, they told me that they had not sold enough the year before because the people around my area were not accustomed to the taste, so they decided to not have them anymore. I was very very sad! I am hoping they will make a try at it again this year, but there is no way of predicting. Perhaps if I go into Mexico City somewhere near the US Embassy to a Krispy Kreme they might carry them. It certainly isn’t like I need to eat a whole box…. But you know I would! Haha! Happy Fall, everybody!
Pumpkin spice cheerios delicious
@Tina – yes, a pumpkin spice-favorite!
Dunkins pumpkin flavor coffee and Life cereal are my faves.
Another breakfast (and pumpkin spice) lover – thanks @Jessica!
Sorry to hear the product ya bought ended up gross. I have done the same way in the past, i purchased a edible product thinking it might taste good, but when i took a bite, it didnt taste good, either it was old or just something wrong with the product , so i ended it throwing it away. From: autumngold. Hope you better luck next time. Happy Shopping. 🙂
