The 2017 Reign of #PumpkinSpiceEverything & Halloween HORROR – Food

 

It’s that time of year when the world goes Forking berserk and many things go pumpkin or pumpkin spiced. Since it’s Halloween time I tossed them into the bunch as well. I never know what I’ll come across. This is what I found this year.

Here are Werther’s Original Caramels with a touch of Pumpkin Spice for your chewing pleasure.

This is Pumpkin Spice wafers filled with real pumpkin in a creamy filling.

Butternut Squash Zucchette Pasta (this one is Forking Cute and DIFFERENT!) and Honey Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli.

Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Cherrios!

I guess if we can have Pumpkin Spice Flavored Cheerios then why the Fork not Pumpkin Spice Frosted Mini Wheats…..

Well if Pumpkin Spice Cheerios or Mini Wheats don’t do it for you then maybe Pumpkin Spice Quaker Oats is more to your liking.

Some sort of Captain Morgan Jack-O-Blast and Pumpkin Vodka………..(hic!)

They Forked with Bally’s and made that Forking Pumpkin Spiced too!

Limited Edition Pumpkin Pie Pop-tarts.

Pumpkin Spice Cookie Butter Spread…? and Pumpkin Spice Cookie Butter Dippers and a Normal Jar of Pumpkin Butter that doesn’t forking taste like butter but they call it butter…?

Pumpkin Pie Snack Sized Kit Kats…UmmmmmI would have purchased them but they were Forking placed passed the check out…..Thanks Fry’s for saving me a bunch of calories!

Pumpkin Spice Biscotti.

Pumpkin Spice Swirled Bread?….It would be tasty as French toast…..maybe good with chicken breast……but terrible as most sandwiches. I can’t imagine it with tunafish.

Here are Pumpkin Tortilla Chips and Ghosts and Bats Crispy Potato Snacks

Candy Corn White Fudge Marshmallow Peeps..?

White Chocolate Pumpkin Pie M&M’s.

Pumpkin Artist Ray Villafane is the genius behind the whimsical creations.

This week should even be better because the artist will be carving all the pumpkins can. The pumpkins only last for up to FOUR days in our Arizona Weather. They actually mist the pumpkins with water to get them to last a mere four days.

The 2015 Reign of PUMPKIN SPICE HORROR Part 3 #pumpkinspiceeverything

IMG_9832

The world has gone forking nuts and everything this time of year has turned to PUMPKIN SPICE and PUMPKIN PUMPKIN EVERYTHING. I forking love M&Ms and foolishly thought I might like these Pumpkin Spice Latte M&M’s. I never drank a latte but I thought it might be creamy, sweet and mostly pumpkin spiced flavored.

IMG_9833

GOD THESE THINGS FORKING SUCKED!

First of all they are slightly oily……yuk.

Then you get the shell that taste the same on all of the M&M’s. The Pumpkin Spice Latte M&Ms taste like bitter coffee grounds in my mouth. Isn’t a forking latte suppose to be a forking milky and sweet drink? God these M&m’s were forking gross! These M&M’s are now part of the forking land fill now.

Not Worth a FORK!

Not Worth a FORK!
