As a dedicated cookie lover who always eagerly awaits the arrival of autumn flavors, I am thrilled to hear that Voortman is celebrating the fall snacking season this year with not one, but two delicious offerings. Having grown up enjoying their classic wafers during Halloween and Thanksgiving gatherings, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia at the return of the Pumpkin Spice Wafers. The thought of savoring those delectable pumpkin spice-flavored creme sandwiched between crisp wafers brings back fond memories of my childhood.

Hostess

Hostess is preparing delightful confections for the fall season, including Pumpkin Spice Twinkies, Iced Pumpkin Cupcakes, and Maple Glazed Donettes, while also readying spooky treats for Halloween, such as returning favorites like ScaryCakes and Spooky Twinkies, along with a novelty item: FrankenCakes, which are soft yellow cakes filled with the classic creme and adorned with green icing and the Original Squiggle.

Christopher Balach, Vice President of Marketing for Sweet Baked Snacks at The J.M. Smucker Co., shared his enthusiasm about reintroducing beloved treats and introducing the FrankenCakes for families to sample. This assortment reflects the seasonal tastes that consumers adore and complements the joy of trick-or-treating as well as other autumn escapades wonderfully.

The fall snacks are arriving in stores now. The Halloween snacks start rolling out in September.

Jet-Puffed Pumpkin Spice marshmallows are back once more! These limited-edition treats come in the shape of pumpkins and offer a delightful sweet, spiced taste that’s ideal for autumn. Enjoy them on their own or incorporate them into your favorite recipes requiring marshmallows. Look for them at stores nationwide, including Walmart and Target.

Planters

As a dedicated snack enthusiast who has experienced many variations of Pumpkin Spice-flavored treats throughout the years, I must say that Planters’ latest creation, the limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Almonds, have truly taken my taste buds on an autumnal journey. Hailing from California, these carefully sourced almonds are roasted to perfection and generously seasoned with real pumpkin spices and a hint of sea salt, creating a delightful fusion of sweet and savory flavors that perfectly encapsulate the essence of the season.

Pumpkin not your thing? Planters also has a new offering for fall: Apple Cider Donut Cashews.

For the twelfth year in a row, Milano Pumpkin Spice Cookies are making a comeback, and they’ll be available on store shelves starting this very month. These cookies have been a staple in my household during the fall season for as long as I can remember, and their return each year never fails to bring a smile to my face.

Krispy Kreme

You can’t imagine autumn without savoring a delicious doughnut, and that’s where Krispy Kreme comes into play! The brand has just revealed its pumpkin spice menu for this season, featuring the delightful Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnut and their invigorating Pumpkin Spice Latte.

“August has arrived, and there’s a strong desire for pumpkin spice flavors all around. Therefore, we’re reintroducing your beloved favorites,” stated Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme’s Global Chief Brand Officer. “Our customers are eagerly anticipating the return of our Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnut and Latte, and we’re more than happy to oblige. However, keep an eye out because we still have some exciting twists planned for this season.”

Dunkin’ Spiked

If you’re seeking a more potent option, Dunkin’ has introduced the first limited-edition seasonal drink in its Dunkin’ Spiked collection: the Dunkin’ Spiked Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte.

As per Dunkin’, the latest innovation in their lineup is the enticing spin on the traditional Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte, aptly named the “Spiked Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte.” This drink offers a luxurious, creamy experience with an exquisite blend of sweet pumpkin, vanilla, and autumn spices. It is recommended to savor it directly from the can or over ice, adorned with whipped cream. The beverage boasts a 6% alcohol content and is thoughtfully crafted using authentic coffee, pumpkin spice flavoring, and a vegan-friendly, lactose-intolerant non-dairy creamer. You’ll find this seasonal delight in 4-packs of 12-oz cans, starting from August, where Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Coffees are sold. However, do note that you must be at least 21 years old to purchase it.

7-Eleven

7-Eleven was one of the early adopters to introduce pumpkin spice and autumn flavors this season with their new product line, but they really turned heads with the introduction of a unique innovation – the first-ever Pumpkin Spice Slurpee. According to the brand, this refreshing drink offers an unprecedented taste experience, blending the flavors of pumpkin and cinnamon spice in an icy Slurpee form. However, this innovative twist on a classic beverage is only accessible at select locations – specifically, the Pumpkin Spice Slurpee is available at five unique 7-Eleven and Speedway stores in Texas, Ohio, California, and New York. Here are the specific locations:

Coffee mate

If you’d rather stay in during fall instead of going out for coffee, Coffee mate offers a complete fall collection that allows you to enjoy the autumn coffee experience at home. This year, they’ve introduced two new seasonal drinks: Pumpkin Spice Flavored Iced Coffee and Peppermint Mocha Flavored Iced Coffee. Additionally, some fresh creamer flavors have been added to their lineup, including Caramel Apple Crisp, Sugar-Free White Chocolate Peppermint, and KIT KAT Flavored creamer.

Apart from new flavors, some beloved ones are making a comeback this autumn too! Coffee mate’s Pumpkin Spice, Peppermint Mocha, and Nestle Toll House Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Flavored Creamers will be back on shelves across the country. These seasonal treats are available now for a short while only.
