9 Pumpkin Flavored Treats You NEED to Try this Fall!
Fall is in the air, and that means the return of all things PUMPKIN flavored!
I absolutely LOVE fall. The weather finally drops below 100 degrees, I get to wear cute layered outfits (eventually) and most importantly, their are tons of snacks made just for this time of the year. Lately, we've been seeing a surge of all things pumpkin flavored by the time October first rolls around. In fact, as I type, there is a McDonald's commercial playing right now, promoting their new PSL. Below is a list of the yummiest pumpkin flavored treats you HAVE to try this year!

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
So a few years ago I tried to make my own pumpkin spice cupcakes by mixing in puree like I was Betty Crocker or something. They turned out... interesting. That's why I was so excited to see this mix this week at the grocery store! It's easy and you'll look like a baking pro!

Pumpkin Ale
I'm not a big beer drinker, but I think I could be persuaded to try this pumpkin flavored ale from Blue Moon. It's part of their "Harvest Collection", a popular trend with micro breweries and specialty beers nowadays.

Pumpkin Soup
So I first had pumpkin soup on a cruise, and since then I've been looking EVERYWHERE for it! It's the perfect mix of creamy and sweet, all in a warm bowl that's perfect for a chilly night. Although I haven't found a condensed version, this mix from World Market is a must for my shopping list!

Pumpkin Doughnuts
Oh.My.Gosh. Dunkin Donuts is giving Starbucks a run for its money when it comes to being the mecca for yummy pumpkin flavored breakfast with their pumpkin flavored doughnuts, muffins and bagels. I seriously am dying for one right now!

Pumpkin Macarons
Why can't there be a Trader Joe's closer to my house? I'm seriously deliberating making the hour drive to Austin just to try these pumpkin macarons!

Hershey's Pumpkin Spice Kisses
Ummm why have I never had these? I need to get a bag of these ASAP! And if you want a little chocolate with your pumpkin, M&M's now officially has a pumpkin spice flavor also!

Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows
Where have these been all my life? Not only would they be amazing in hot chocolate, imagine the rice krispy treats you could make with these!

Pumpkin Cheesecake
I tried this for the first time in college and now regular cheesecake just won't do.

Pumpkin Spice Latte
Of course we couldn't complete the list without the Granddaddy of all pumpkin flavored treats, the PSL. There are plenty of versions, but Starbucks is pretty much the standard when it comes to this pumpkin beverage. It's literally like fall in a cup!
