21 Pumpkin Spice Treats You Didn’t Know You Needed

‘Tis the season for cooler temps, autumn leaves and of course, everybody’s favorite seasonal go-to: pumpkin spice. We’re honestly counting down the days until the Pumpkin Spice Latte makes its debut on various coffee menus. For those who haven’t heard the news, many establishments, like Starbucks and Dunkin’, are rolling out pumpkin spice products a bit earlier this year.
We know pumpkin spice lattes are a huge hit this time of the year — from Starbucks’ beloved PSL to more budget-friendly alternatives. But did you know there are other treats that capture the pumpkin spice flavor in all its tasty goodness? In fact, pumpkin spice has become a $600 million dollar industry that exists for only a few months of the year. A few of the pumpkin spice products that are about to hit supermarket shelves across the country include but are not limited to:
- Beer
- Liquor
- Cookies
- Candles
- Health Food
- Chocolate
- Cereal
- Pudding
- Pastries
- Candy
- Dog Treats
- And, (even) Lube
