A Taste of Halloween

[Monsters For Sale]

Yuck! I hate CC, so I know I won't like these!

Target had a ton of different M&M's, in 3 different places.  Couldn't find the Pumpkin Spice ones that are being advertised, but the Candy Corn M&M's are back from last year.

Target had a large Halloween section but very little in it, and all generic, if you don't count "Star Wars" crap - and I don't.

You guys are talking about Halloween-themed treats and pumpkin spice flavored items and no one has mentioned the stuff from Dunkin' Donuts yet?  Their pumpkin coffee and doughnuts are great.

Dunkin' Donuts you say?!



Bummer. I think the closest one to Toronto would be in Niagara Falls, New York.

If you like the pumpkin spice coffee, there are multiple ways that you could have it imported to your country.  If you only prefer hot coffee, then DD does sell the pumpkin spice in Keurig cups.  If you really wanted to, you could try using the K cup pumpkin for iced coffee by putting ice in the hot coffee, but I tried that once and it was terrible.  If you prefer the iced coffee like me, then DD employees do actually "steal" the pumpkin spice syrup pumps and sell them on eBay after the flavor has been discontinued for the year.  However, this is something that I would only recommend doing at your own risk.  Make sure the sellers have good feedback.

As for the doughnuts themselves, that's going to be hard.  There are other people who try to make pumpkin doughnuts that are available in run-of-the-mill grocery stores, but I have never tried them and I don't know what companies would make/sell them in Toronto.  Dunkin' Donuts is the one thing that I'm actually glad I live in the United States for.  With this presidential election crap, I sometimes just want to pack up my bags and head up to Toronto myself (or anywhere else in Canada).

If you like the pumpkin spice coffee....

I do not. We felines like cream, but we're not big on coffee.

As for the doughnuts themselves, that's going to be hard.

Very sad. Up until about twenty years ago there was a Dunkin' Donuts in Union Station in downtown Toronto but no more. There's one in Place Ville Marie adjacent to La Gare Centrale in downtown Montréal though!

With this presidential election crap, I sometimes just want to pack up my bags and head up to Toronto myself (or anywhere else in Canada).

Worst choice maybe ever! But then again you fellows nominated the buffoons.

But you better not be thinking of coming to Canada if you're not prepared to embrace Canadian football.



If you're going to continue to cling to American football, stay home.

I actually didn't elect any of the buffoons.  I just avoid voting altogether.

A nearby Albertsons had a small cardboard Entenmann's display at the end of an isle:


                   Pumpkin Donuts from Entenmann's






(Finally found and tried the Pumpkin Oreos - Yecch!  W-a-a-a-y too sweet for me.)

[Chakor Channing]

I've seen some of those at my local Hannaford store, but still haven't tried them because I love the Dunkin' Donuts pumpkin so much.  I might try these once DD is done with the pumpkin after Halloween.

The Pumpkin Spice Cheerios are delicious. I'm on my second box already.

These Sunbelt granola bars are quite good as well, and they actually taste like Pumpkin Oatmeal cookies.

Time to resurrect this annual thread.

Most of the products from last year are back again for 2017.  Let's try to see how many NEW products we can find this year.

Many of the cereal manufacturers have given their breakfast foods a pumpkin flavor in the past.  But I don't think I've ever seen this one before:


                                 Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispies Treats from Kellogg's (available in Walmart)

(If the flavor is not overwhelming, these might actually be good.)

New for 2017:


                      Pumpkin Pie KitKat bars - Snack Size - from Hershey's

Not for me.  They replaced the chocolate coating with the Pumpkin icing.

                                              Pumpkin Spice Fudge Stripes Cookies - from Keebler

[Monsters For Sale]

Nabisco has been experimenting with many new varieties of Triscuit recently.  Not so sure about this one.
