If variety is the spice of life, than HERSHEY’S KISSES Pumpkin Spice Flavored Candies as they’re officially called can be this old chestnut’s poster child. Each Kiss is comprised of a pumpkin-colored white chocolate outer shell enclosing a semi-liquid, light-colored, pumpkin spice flavored interior. Are they sweet? You bet your eye-teeth they are and what’s more, seven Hershey’s Pumpkin Spice Kisses (also known as a handful) provide the snacker with thirteen grams of fat. Nom nom nom!

Is Mister Peanut having a mid-life crisis or is he just going nuts? Maybe both – the well-known brand icon is embracing diversity in a big way of late, expressed in six seasonal flavored nutty snacks: Chipotle Nut Tailgate Mix, Honey Smoked Tailgate Almonds, Crème Brûlée Almonds, Winter Spiced Nuts, Brittle Nut Medley, and Pumpkin Spice Almonds.

Autumn also happens to be Halloween season and kudos to Planters for combining the annual scare-fest with their limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Almonds. The nuts aren’t all that frightening themselves, it’s the unsettling uncanny-valley-esque rendering of the classic Mr Peanut logo that’s put us off our feed. Yikes!

Philadelphia Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese

Philadelphia Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese is a limited edition addition to the expansive Philly stable and that’s a pity – pumpkin spice lends itself to spreadable cream cheese and the aroma of a few toasted, spreaded bakeables is a great scent to awaken to any time of the year! In the words of one satisfied reviewer, “soft and sugary notes of cinnamon and pumpkin filled the air”. That beats Febreeze any day… and expect to see Febreeze Pumpkin Spice spray on supermarket shelves any day now.
