Ta Daaaa – modeling a few fall foods!
Good Morning! ☀️
Now that we are in the thick of the Fall season, today I’m sharing my latest food reviews and they are all Fall themed! – More specifically, pumpkin🎃 spiced themed since that really is the biggest fall flavor.
If you are anything like me, then you love most everything that the autumn season has to offer, and that definitely includes all of the limited time fall foods! You can find me happily munching on candy apples, candy corn, and most pumpkin spiced flavored foods all season long.
Every year I’m soo excited to see all of the new pumpkin flavored foods in stores, so today I’m posting and reviewing what I’ve tried this season. We’ll review what’s good, what could be better, what you need to try before we move along into the holiday🎄 food season!
So let’s get into it!
Mother’s Farms Pumpkin Seed Tortilla Chips
First up, are these pumpkin seed tortilla chips that I found over at the good old New England bargain discount store: The Christmas Tree Shop.
I wasn’t sure if I would really like these, because as much as I do like pumpkin spice flavor – pumpkin as a chip flavor sounded a bit odd. But I did really looove these chips and I think you will too!
These pumpkin chips were super enjoyable. They are light, crunchy tortilla chips made from pumpkin and pumpkin seeds. The flavor is lightly pumpkin spiced with a clear scent of cinnamon that is instantly recognizable upon opening the bag. There are also small amounts of honey and nutmeg in the ingredients list and these flavors helped to enhance the overall flavor of these chips.
I loved these chips on their own and with salsa & guac. They are a definite fall delight and would elevate your nachos this season!
Archer Farms Maple Truffle Butter Cookies
Next up are these seasonal cookies from Target’s Archer Farms Brand.
These cookies feature a buttery shortbread cookie with a maple caramel filling topped with a chocolate truffle coating. The maple flavor is subtle and just enriches the whole cookie without being too overpowering.
I really wasn’t expecting to like these cookies as much as I did! These scrumptious cookies are the perfect treat on a cool night and would pair well with a delicious alcoholic coffee drink. A definite must-try fall inspired cookie from Target!🍪
Pillsbury Grands! Pumpkin Spice Rolls With Pumpkin Spice Icing
First, I should mention that these rolls are made from Cinnabon cinnamon, which of course, is one of the best little bakeries to grace the entire Earth!🌎
Like most Pillsbury rolls products, these pumpkin rolls are a seasonal slam dunk. Although, I do think the pumpkin flavor could be a bit stronger. I’m not quite sure that anyone eating these blindfolded would necessarily know that they are a pumpkin spice roll versus a regular cinnamon bun.
And as a side note – does anyone ever think that they give enough icing for these refrigerated rolls?? I definitely don’t – so per usual I would have liked some more icing!
But nevertheless, these were outstanding and out of the 5 jumbo sized rolls that came in the package – I polished off 2.5 of them by myself over the course of a recent fine Sunday. Oops!🐽
I’ve seen these at couple of grocery stores – so they should be easy to find!
Oui Pumpkin Caramel Yogurt
Oui is one of my favorite brands of yogurt because I love the creamy consistency.
Oui makes several different flavors of yogurt where the fruit (or, in this case, the pumpkin caramel) is on the bottom. Because the jar is so small, it was difficult to stir the caramel sauce into the yogurt thoroughly and the first few bites tasted more like plain yogurt than anything else.
But once I got a good mix going on and made my way down the yogurt jar, I found that I thoroughly enjoyed this seasonal yogurt. It could definitely be more pumpkin-y and and a heavier hand on spice would be welcomed, but the caramel flavor is spot on. Definitely a great limited edition yogurt to try!
Cheesecake Factory Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake
And I would just like to take a moment to say that if you REALLY want to experience a delightful fall treat then you must head over to the Cheesecake Factory and get the Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake!🍰
It’s really a slice of heaven. It’s basically like pumpkin and pecan pie had a baby and combined to make the best fall-tastic cheesecake ever. It’s so, so good! You gotta go🚗🚗🚗
Oui Layered Dessert Yogurt?
Now, I have no idea if this is a yogurt dessert. Meaning is it somewhat healthier than regular cheesecake because it’s partially made with yogurt? It’s made by Yoplait and is advertised as Oui Desserts, but no where on the label does it say that this is actually yogurt. It just says cheesecake sooo🤷🏻♀️
With that being said, I guess this isn’t really yogurt but it is pretty darn good. It’s a caramel cheesecake layered dessert consisting of a graham cracker crust, cheesecake, and caramel on top. The mix of the three layers is quite a delicious bite and this would certainly satisfy your sweet tooth.
While the graham cracker crust is outstanding and I did enjoy the other layers, there was a tad too much caramel and it somewhat overwhelmed the other flavors.
But overall, this was a thumbs up!
Except, I happen to look REALLY carefully at the label to see if this was actually yogurt and LORD HAVE MERCY – there are 300 calories in one little teeny jar!!! Ok– definitely not a healthy dessert and definitely overly indulgent.
It’s good, but not 300 calories good. I won’t be buying again and do not recommend. 300 calories is better spent at The Cheesecake Factory eating their pumpkin cheesecake!🧡
Mother’s Halloween Circus Animal Cookies
Lastly, are these adorable Halloween themed animal crackers that I picked up at Target. Are they very good? No, not really. But kids love them! They are ridiculously overly sweet because they are iced animal crackers and animal crackers are already sweet enough. But they are super festive and fun to have around during the Halloween season!🎃
That’s it for this round of Fall themed food reviews! What sounds most like a food you would want to try this season?! Let me know in the comments!🙂
Read my from post last year where I featured some of the best fall foods over at Trader Joe’s!
