I tried these donuts, [yes, plural] over the weekend.

In terms of calories/fat, they are “better” for you than the Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Donuts, but I also believe they taste better.

They icing on the cake, no literally, was delicious and the pumpkin-y flavor was subtle not overpowering. Went great with a pumpkin coffee. Hot.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to chew on a Yankee Pumpkin Spice Candle? Well, now you can!

I am a huge fan of Tropical Twist by Trident, but this gum is just terrible. Of course I had to keep trying it just IN CASE it stopped tasting like a candle and more like pumpkin pie sans the calories, but it just never happened. 😦

I recommend you make your own opinions here, but overall rating would be:

Pumking Rating: 1 out of 5 Pumpkins

*And giving a 1 for the attempt to make this; and anything with Pumpkin has my attention.

Smashing Pumpkins Scale: 2.5 out of 5 Pumpkins

So, I love sweet, but this was a tad too much for my liking. Maybe I’m just used to a less sweet cider beer, but the addition of chai and other spices made it hard to fathom drinking more than one.

These two ingredient muffins were amazing. I was very close to GOURDging on them all night, but luckily I had a few people stop by my place to taste test.  I will note that as I write this post I am eating one for breakfast and it is just as delicious as it was out of the oven. Ok, maybe not JUST AS delicious, but close enough. Way better than store bought or even Starbucks or DD.

You can definitely taste the pumpkin and the aromas will overpower your dwelling. Highly recommend to make if you have anyone coming over. 🙂

I also whipped up some cream cheese frosting, but they didn’t need it. Although it would be good if you wanted it to be more of a cupcake than a muffin.

Also, 1 added 2 eggs to the recipe. The cake and the pumpkin just didn’t mix as well since it was so dry.

Here is the recipe

Pepperidge Farm: Pumpkin Spice Milano Cookies

At 1st I wasn’t too into these. They were OK, but then, I put them in my fridge and I couldn’t eat just one! They are a really good mix of chocolate meets pumpkin spice meets buttery cookie.

I would definitely rate these higher than Pumpkin Spice Oreos.

As noted, buy, try as normal, then refrigerate. Let me know if you agree.
