Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Sandwiches
If you’re in the ‘hood of New England, be sure to check out Hood’s Pumpkin Ice Cream Sandwiches… likely the only time you’ll see the words “pumpkin” and “sandwich” together in the same sentence. While these frozen delicacies aren’t actually “spiced” per se, they’re still mighty seasonal and make a nice (or horrific, depending on your POV) change from the usual. (image via Mike Mozart)
Pumpkin Spice Coffee Liqueur
Everyone knows Kahlua, the famous Mexican rum & coffee liqueur that’s emboldened many a Black or White Russian over the decades. On the contrary, very few have heard about Pumpkin Spice Kahlua, a seasonal derivation of the brand one might use to create an “Orange Russian”. Just kidding, there’s no such thing as an Orange Russian, it’s all a Hoax and the greatest Witch Hunt in American drinking history. (image via Tim Evanson)
Pumpkin Spice Latte Peeps
Peeps can be polarizing – one either loves the iconic marshmallow chicks or hates them with the burning heat of a billion exploding suns. Think these Pumpkin Spice Latte Peeps will move the needle one way or the other? Sure you do… and we can probably guess which way it’ll move. (image via theimpulsivebuy)
7-11 Pumpkin Spice Cookies
Convenience store cookies for the win or at least, for the road. Next time those annoying rugrats in the back seat act up, settle ’em back down again with some 7-Select PuMpKiN SpIcE Sandwich Cookies – the savior of more than a few long road trips (or so we’d like to imagine). Keep an extra bag or two in the trunk ’cause winter’s coming and you’ll need something to throw under the rear wheels next time you get stuck in a snowdrift. (image via Willis Lam)
Pumpkin Spice Gnocchi
Gnocchi – pasta dumplings often made with potato – can be a tough sell. So, pumpkin spice ’em up? It’s a bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see if it works out for the Chicago French Market. Our prediction is: not so much. What’s really scary about this bizarre perversion of an Italian culinary staple is that the whole Pumpkin Spice thing has apparently escaped from the corporate boardroom and taken root in independent restaurants and kitchens. Kinda like a virus, one might say… a cinnamony, nutmeggy, dare we say pumpkin-y sort of virus. Not even a mask can stop that. (image via Marco Verch)
