The Official Pumpkin Spice Grocery List

Pumpkin spice season is in full force. And while the autumnal flavor craze was once restricted to coffee chains and restaurants, corporate foodmakers have caught on to the trend and are creating all types of food products drenched in pumpkin spice goodness. While we have yet to see anything like pumpkin spice pickles on the market this year (September 2016, no, August 2017, hopefully) there are plenty of unique and legitimately delicious pumpkin spice groceries available this season. Pull on your Uggs, cozy up in an oversized flannel shirt and head to the supermarket to check these items off your pumpkin spice grocery list.

1. KIND Caramel Almond Pumpkin Spice Bars
Stock up on these limited-edition snack bars (or don’t like I did, if you have no self control, because I ate them all) which is crisp with cashews, almonds and peanuts, a drizzle of sticky caramel and actual pumpkin! Pairs well with a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino, the experts (me) say. And with only 5 grams of sugar, it’s hard to believe this candy-like snack bar isn’t horrendously unhealthy.

2. Whole Foods Pumpkin Spice Granola
Before you even get to Starbucks, start your morning with this limited-edition pumpkin spice granola goodness. Made primarily of sugary rolled oats tossed with pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, dried apples and plenty of nutmeg, this cereal is fall in a box. May we suggest using a hollowed-out pumpkin as a bowl?

3. Noosa Pumpkin Yoghurt
Real pumpkin puree swirls in with this creamy Australian yogurt that’s rich enough to be a dessert but healthy enough to be swapped in for a meal. Or three. A distinct tartness will appeal to those who find PSLs too sugary and those who are missing the spice can sprinkle some nutmeg and cinnamon on top to dress up this breakfast.

4. J.R. Watkins Pumpkin Spice Extract
Turn anything you touch into gold — Well, better than gold, pumpkin spice flavor! This liquid artificial flavoring should be in your hand at all times from September through November to enhance everything you eat into chemically flavored pumpkin spice goodness. You’re about to become the most popular person in your squad.

5. Triscuit Pumpkin and Spice
Just when you thought the pumpkin spice craze had gone far enough, Triscuit had to step in with its new limited edition crackers. Flavored with pumpkin powder, salt, brown sugar and “spices,” these seasonal crackers may be best enjoyed with a spread of plain cream cheese to pick up on all that pumpkin powder. Or, you know, with your hands straight out of the box.
