I am a lover of pumpkin pie, pumpkin dump cake, pumpkin cheesecake, etc… So, I thought I was a lover of all things pumpkin. Imagine my excitement when I heard another blogger talk about Pumpkin Spice Hershey kisses!
I finally found these little gems at Target today. I snapped them up and immediately tore into them when I got to the car. The result?
These things seriously tasted like up-dog. Ugh. I told my husband maybe they are good for baking, but they are not good for eating. He found that amusing.
Speaking of pumpkin, I finally gave this another try:
Everyone in “blog-land”, and in “real-life-land” raves about the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. I tried one last year, but I stupidly ordered it “iced” and immediately deposited the entire thing in the trash upon arriving to work.
On Saturday when we were headed to the outlet mall I begged Shawn to stop at a Starbucks, so I could give this lovely fall creation a second chance. The only Starbucks we could find was in a Kroeger and it just so happened that the barista looked like he just woke up from a week long bender. So, that was already two strikes against said latte. Then, I got the latte, and it was orange. I should have expected this, but somehow it caught me by surprise. Strike three. Sorry guys and girls, the pumpkin spice latte will have to find a way to survive without me. I am not a fan.
So, what about you? Are you for pumpkin?

They are not good for baking either.They do not melt like the chocolate ones...not enough chocolate in them-you need to add nuts or a small amount of extra butter flavored shortening to bake with them.
I love pumpkin stuff too! I tried the Pumpkin Spice Latte a few weeks ago and I thought it was okay. I didn't think it was as great as everyone says but still pretty good. Hope your having a good week!
OMG - I love pumpkin like no other! I love the smell and usually buy a few pumpkin candles each year. Yes, I am a pumpkin spice latte fan myself...sorry Tami - I don't think you are trying it in the right place. However, the pumpkin spice coffee at Speedway is actually really good. You should give it a try. Oh, and add yourself as a follower of my blog.
I LOVE Pumpkin Spice Latte's!!! What is wrong with you people??? Pumpkin Cheesecake, pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Bread, YUMMY!!!!!!! Fall here we come!!!
Pumpkin pie served as our wedding cake so yes I love pumpkin. ;)
So sorry you don't like the pumpkin spice latte. I agree the pumpkin Hershy kisses are god awful and they leave a horrible after taste in your mouth.
There is a little something for you over at my blog!

Fall is my favorite time of year for 2 reasons:
1. Our birthdays...obviously
2. All things pumpkin.
I have not tried the kisses, nor will I because I don't like any kisses. They taste like cheap waxing chocolate to me. I do on the other hand LOVE the latte, and mine are usually not orange. Go to a real starbucks where the baristas know what they are doing, and try one more...just one more.
Saturday at the farmers market we got a homemade pumpkin danish, and it was maybe the best thing I've ever tasted. In case you needed another reason to come visit, this is it!
I love pumpkin...but by the end of November I've had enough. I can't wait to try to latte when I home next week!!
Oh i love anything pumpkin! Especially pumpkin pie cake!! :D
I think the pumpkin spice latte taste better made with Soy.
mmm. Just hearing about the pumpkin spice latte makes me want one! I only started liking them last year though.
