Sometimes the most stressful part of this time of the year is not dealing with midterms, it is deciding which of the pumpkin spice products to splurge on. I am here to ease your stress, and show you some of the pumpkin spice offerings at Trader Joe’s, ranked from best to worst.
1. Pumpkin butter
Slather this on everything. This pumpkin spread is slightly sweet with the perfect hint of spice – it is fall in a jar.
2. Pumpkin Spice Almond Beverage
I am a huge fan of this pumpkin almond beverage. Add just a hint to your coffee in the morning for a DIY PSL, or pour it in cereal to get a taste of fall with every spoonful.
3. Pumpkin Waffles
The pumpkin flavor really just doesn’t deliver. I would recommend topping a regular waffle with pumpkin butter and some maple syrup for a better pumpkin-spiced breakfast.
4. This Pumpkin Walked Into a Bar
It is not that these cereal bars are particularly gross, its just the fact that they taste almost identical to the apple version. Skip out on these if you are looking for a stronger pumpkin flavor.
5. Pumpkin Pie Spice Cookie Butter
I really wanted to love this, but the original cookie butter is too good to be rivaled. This cookie butter becomes overwhelming sugary and is missing the spice. Stick with the original.
