A Ranking Of Pumpkin Spice-Flavored Foods You Can Buy This Fall

We tested them all, so you don't have to.
|

Pumpkin spice is a polarizing flavor Anthony Bourdain has said he wants it to be ‘drowned in its own blood ,” and many of us bemoan what this flavor does to our favorite food products . But other folks count down all year until the day pumpkin spice lattes are released at Starbucks

In trying to keep an open mind this year, we taste tested some pumpkin spice products again and we’ve come to a realization: there’s something to this flavor. And there’s a right pumpkin spice product out there for everyone it’s just a matter of finding the best one for you. 

We didn’t taste every pumpkin spice product on the market that would be a death sentence. Instead, we simply tested the products that are being heavily promoted this fall.

This is what we found: some pumpkin spice products are insanely strong, some are incredibly mild, and some just do it better than others. 

We broke it all down for you in order from the most spiced to the mildest. Read it, and give pumpkin spice season a chance.

Cinnamon raison has some serious competition with this loaf. It's what your morning toast has been missing. It tastes like pie, without sugar, that you get to eat for breakfast. Bravo.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. The genius thing about this seasonal release is that it has all that rich pumpkin spice flavor, but is mixed with the lightness that is popcorn so it doesn't make you feel like you need an elastic waist band on your pants.

This. Is. It. This is the fall spiced food you can eat every day and never get sick of. The salt from the pretzels is what pumpkin spice has been missing all along. It balances out everything and makes fall not only feel, but also taste, like the most wonderful time of year.
