Just kidding! It’s obviously nice!
The Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks, heralding in the unofficial start of fall!
As the air cools and crisps like so many pie crusts, so too is the air filled with the sweet scents of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and espresso.
Debuted in Washington D.C. and Vancouver in 2003, the PSL was an instant success! Since its official launch in the fall of 2004, it has grown into a cultural juggernaut – inspiring thousands of flavoured foods, scented candles, themed clothing, songs and more!
For some, winter doesn’t begin until the first snowfall. For others, summer starts with their first barbecue. For fall, for me, it’s like Kesha always said, “The season don’t start ‘til my first sip!”
We want you to make the most of this fall favourite, so we’re here to show off a couple candies to help you get into the spirit of the season and augment your autumn aura!
Plus, we’ve made a little predictions wish list of delicious snacks from the past we’re reeeeally hoping come back to us this year!
Goetze’s Pumpkin Pie Caramel Creams
Goetze’s has joined the fall festivities with a delicious twist on their famous Caramel Creams!
These soft, chewy caramels have been indulgently infused with the full range of pumpkin pie flavours! And of course, the creamy vanilla centre adds a bonus dollop of joy!
Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and even pumpkin itself elevate these classic caramels into a candy good enough to be plated up as a dessert all on its own!
Pop them in your purse, your pocket, or a big ‘ol bowl, and enjoy a chewy caramel you can cherish anywhere.
Cow Tales Pumpkin Pie
Did you look at Goetze's Caramel Creams and think to yourself, “These look good, but I wish they were like half a foot long”? Well we’ve got great news for you!
Cow Tales Pumpkin Pie uses the same famous family recipe as Goetze’s Caramel Creams. Compared to their little bite-sized brother, Cow Tales are bigger, longer, and frankly, more fun!
Cow Tales deliver a chewy caramel with the comforting fall flavours of spiced pumpkin pie – right down to the vanilla cream centre!
We could spin you a tale that just one of these great, tall pumpkin pie caramels will last you all season, but the only tall tale worth spinning is a Cow Tale!
Oreo Pumpkin Spice
To kick off our predictions for Pumpkin Pie Season 2025, we’re starting with our safest bet: Pumpkin Spice Oreos!
One of our favourites from last year, Pumpkin Spice Oreos nestle a wonderful pumpkin pie creme between two golden Oreos for a crispy cookie crunch!
Nobody does pie like Oreo! Just recently, we saw two new additions to the Oreo lineup: Blueberry Pie and Apple Pie.
Both of these flavours are amazing! Blueberry Pie Oreos are packed with that nostalgic blueberry taste you loved to wake up to as a kid. Apple Pie Oreos deliver the warm apple and cinnamon flavours you love, with a crispy toasty crust of golden Oreos.
Oreo is batting 1000 with its pie flavours. We’re hoping they bring back a classic and keep their streak going!
Jelly Belly Pumpkin Pie
Jelly Belly is the undisputed king of candy flavour!
From Thai Iced Tea to Buttered Popcorn to whatever evils lurk in the newest Bean Boozled set, every flavour they put into a Jelly Belly is bold, brash, and instantly recognizable!
Last year’s Jelly Belly Pumpkin Pie is no exception! The other snacks on the list are good, obviously, but in terms of flavour recreation, Jelly Belly takes the cake! Err… pie.
Once you bite through the thin shell that keeps all the flavour fresh and locked away, you’re hit with an explosion of deep, rich pumpkin pie flavours!
Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger, pumpkin, even allspice – they’re all there!
Now, we’re friends, so I’ll be honest with you. If you’re looking for a bite of nostalgic comfort to tide you over until Thanksgiving, the pie-flavoured Oreos are your best bet.
BUT, if you’re a PSL fiend like me, and just want pure uncut pumpkin pie flavour injected straight into your veins, nothing gets it done like Jelly Belly Pumpkin Pie!
So here’s hoping they make it back this season!
Little Debbie Pumpkin Spice Rolls
This is our “Hail Debbie” longshot prediction.
Little Debbie Pumpkin Spice Rolls are thin sheets of spiced sheet cake rolled around a thick creme filling and drizzled with white icing!
For some, Little Debbies are just another snack cake. But for others, they’re a nostalgic time capsule of school lunches, Saturday afternoons, and pre-dinner snack sneaking! And when paired with the comforts of pumpkin spice, these people are primed for a full-on Ratatouille moment!
These plump snack cakes are individually wrapped and ready to go with you wherever you need them! As the summer sun softens and the daylight diminishes, they’re the perfect pick-me-up to add a little seasonal spice to an otherwise dreary day!
Candy Funhouse is your source for all things Little Debbie. We're hoping Debbie doesn’t disappoint this year and brings back this fall favourite!
Pumpkin spice season is just getting started, so we know there’s WAY MORE amazing stuff on its way! We hope this little taster of what we have, and what we hope to get back, will help tide you over until our favourite fall flavour fully flourishes!
Once you’ve satiated your need for pumpkin spice and everything nice, don’t forget to enjoy the rest of the wonders autumn has on offer!
Put on your flannel and go apple picking, ride a horse-drawn wagon, or get lost in a corn maze! Most places aren’t lucky enough to get an autumn like Canada, so make sure you make the most of this beautiful, fleeting fall season!
