My favorite season of the year is just about here….PUMPKIN SPICE SEASON!
Who knew that a spice would have its own following? At the stroke of Midnight on August 31st, it seems that everything turns into pumpkin goodness. Everything from the PSL (pumpkin spice latte) to pumpkin spice cookies and even pumpkin spice deoderant is out in stores. Every year new items get added. Of course you can find me trying to get my hands on as many of them as I can. I will even give you my “pumpkin” rating.
Here is what you can look forward to in the 2022 Pumpkin Spice Season:
Limited Edition Goldfish Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Grahams:
Two of my favorite things put into 1 snack. The graham fish gives your all the taste and feel of Dunkin’s pumpkin spice donuts in this fun little treat. Of course, they say you can enjoy this as a standalone snack or even enjoy it with a pumpkin spice latte from Dunkin’. You can look for these to hit stores starting September 1st.

Member’s Mark Pumpkin Flavored Tortilla Chips:
You can find these at your local Sam’s Club. These chips give you the feel of fall in a chip. They are made with real pumpkin infused into the chips. They are dusted with plenty of cinnamon and sugar. So you get that nice sweet & salty feel going on. These are great to eat right out of the bag which is how I ended up eating these. They do suggest on the bag to crumble some up on top of ice cream 🤷♀️. You don’t get an over-powerful pumpkin flavor, so if you want to feel like you are joining in on all the pumpkin fun without really eating too much pumpkin these are for you.

Benton’s Crème Filled Wafer Rolls – Pumpkin Spice:
I’m an Aldi girl, and you can find this down the “Aisle of Shame.” For those of you who don’t know what that it is, it’s typically the middle or the fifth aisle in the store where they have all their weekly or seasonal items. I wasn’t sure how these would be at first, but the more at ate them the more I liked them. They are a nice thin wafer straw with the perfect amount of filling on the inside. The pumpkin flavor really hits you with the first bite. It has a nice strong spice that tickles your taste buds but doesn’t give you that artificial type taste. I really enjoy using this a stir stick in my coffee; but don’t leave it in there long as it will melt. I am glad I tried these, but probably wouldn’t get this more than once.

Hostess Pumpkin Spice Twinkies:
There was no way I could pass up these little sweet treats. I think as I have gotten older the size of the Twinkie seems to have shrunk, or the fact that everything like this seems bigger when your a kid. Either way these a fun sweet treat to not only put in your kids lunches but even to have in your desk drawer for a sweet treat. Hostess didn’t mess with the nice sponge cake. That is still the normal yellow cake. The inside cream is where all the pumpkin goodness is at. I was really hoping for a nice strong almost pumpkin pie flavor, but I was left pretty disappointed. These really seem to just have a small hint of pumpkin. I guess if didn’t see the box this came from I would of just thought this was a normal Twinkie. That the yellow sponge cake is almost too powerful for this.
