26 Legitimately Good Pumpkin Spice Products to Try, Ranked

If you could eat an entire box of pumpkin Munchkins in one sitting, this is the snack for you. They’re a lot like Teddy Grahams, just with more depth of flavor than straight cinnamon-honey notes. They’re the grab-and-go snack you won’t tire of by mid-October, promise.

This new limited-time flavor is packed with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg to satisfy all your fall cravings. We can't believe this treats is made with no added sugar (all hail the power of monk fruit extract). It's sweet but not cloying, and the pumpkin flavor is just right. Our only complaint? There's isn't much cereal inside each box, so you'll want to stock up. (On the plus side, it comes in a fall pack alongside a limited-time Cocoa Peanut Butter cereal.)

Pumpkin spice-flavored foods are often heavy on the cinnamon. But with this seasonal gem from Three Wishes, the clove, nutmeg and allspice really shine through. Plus, the cereal is gluten-free and has nearly three times as much protein per serving as its competitors (8 grams, to be exact).

On the other end of the spectrum, if cinnamon is the whole appeal of pumpkin spice to you, grab a box of these limited-edition Cheerios. Though each serving has less protein (3 grams) and more sugar (11 grams), it tastes more like a treat. It’s also gluten-free.

When you want to eat pumpkin cheesecake but it’s 7 a.m.—and The Cheesecake Factory isn’t open yet, dang it—reach for Noosa. Pumpkin puree and cream cheese are in this whole milk-based yogurt, making it extra creamy…and delightfully cheesecake-like.

It defies logic how a latte-in-a-box could taste so high-end, but we won’t question the magic. Copper Cow’s take on Vietnamese coffee calls for steeping a coffee bag in your mug, then adding as much of the included condensed milk creamer as you’d like. We found half a serving was just right for bringing in classic pumpkin spice flavors and a little sweetness without feeling like you’re downing a liquid marshmallow.

Frozen waffles often taste like cardboard. There, we said it. These thick waffles taste homemade, and they’re studded with chopped pecans for texture. While pumpkin is the first ingredient (of 12, which are all easily recognizable), the pumpkin flavor isn’t overpowering, so you can go heavy on the syrup without overwhelming your tastebuds.

This treat is a pure throwback, only elevated. Expect a classic vanilla Twinkie, but upgraded with a cinnamon-forward filling. It’s everything you know and love about the spongy snack, gussied up just right for fall.

Move over, Mellowcreme pumpkins: You’ve been dethroned. These pumpkin-shaped sweets are every bit as charming, only you won’t be picking bits out of your teeth hours later. (And they actually taste like something other than sugar—namely, a cinnamon-nutmeg-vanilla blend.)

Flavored, canned coffee has a thickness to it and often, a chemical-y aftertaste. Not so with La Colombe’s Oatmilk Pumpkin Spice Latte. It’s creamy and rich, but the coffee flavor still shines through. You get notes of pumpkin (there’s actual pumpkin puree in it, unlike some other PSLs on the market), striking just the right balance without assaulting your senses.

Sex and the City may have popularized Magnolia Bakery’s cupcakes, but the banana pudding is its real claim to fame. Its pumpkin spice variety doesn’t contain bananas, but is equally decadent. Pumpkin-vanilla pudding is layered with vanilla wafers and cookie butter, creating a treat that packs the flavor of pumpkin pie with the cinnamon cakey-ness of a snickerdoodle and the light texture of mousse. Oh, and it can be shipped nationwide.

Your fall charcuterie board recipe is incomplete without this cheese. That’s a bold claim, but it’s unexpectedly delicious. Cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and a little honey are rubbed onto the exterior of mellow fontina cheese, which is aged for 60 days. There’s a light sweetness to it and a faint cinnamon scent, making it a great complement to dried apricots and crusty baguettes—and a great way to offset some of the saltier cheeses on your plate.

Admittedly, we were hesitant to try this one. Would it be bright orange? Would it taste like potpourri? Thankfully, no and no. There’s a slight orange tint, but the spice is mellow and the cocoa flavor really shines, tasting a lot like a molten pumpkin brownie. Be still our hearts.

Starbucks may get all the pumpkin attention, but Dairy Queen’s Pumpkin Pie Blizzard is an under-the-radar hit. Soft serve swirled with pumpkin pie pieces and nutmeg, it’s a solid transitional treat—you know, for those September days when you crave a PSL but it’s still 85 degrees outside.

Want to feel semi-virtuous as you eat gobs of cookie dough? That's where Deux comes in. It's vegan, gluten-free and 'enhanced' with reishi and ginseng, which have been linked to boosting your immune system and mood. But we know why you're really here: Does it taste like a crisp fall day, when you're baking a batch of cookies and can't resist licking the spoon? Yes—mostly. The texture is a bit gritty, but the maple syrup and pumpkin pie spices shine through, and the chocolate chips are a welcome addition.

You *need* to get your hands on these limited-time treats. Think luscious, indulgent New York-style cheesecake, infused with spices and enrobed in white chocolate. The poppables are pleasantly tangy and pumpkin-y, and the chocolate layer offers nice crunch to the lush texture. Stock up with this eight-pack, which comes out to around 80 cheesecake bites. (They won't last long as long as you'd think, trust.)

Brewed with pumpkin meat, brown sugar and fall spices, Dogfish Head's Punkin Ale is a solid contender in the pumpkin beer category—especially since it comes in cans. While it doesn't quite top our favorites (looking at you smooth, sweet Schlafly Pumpkin Ale and strong, spicy Southern Tier Pumking), it's made its way into our top three with its not-too-sweet, not-too-sharp, crushable taste.

Commerce Director Nicole Briese has waxed poetic about her love of Nutpods before, but it's even more amplified come pumpkin spice season. Like the rest of the brand's sugar-free, dairy-free line, this almond-coconut creamer manages to offer up a legit pumpkin-y flavor without turning your coffee into dessert (that's essential if you're typically a black coffee drinker, like Briese).

These thin, crispy snacks, made with almonds, peanuts, spices and pumpkin powder, are legitimately good. We'd happily snack on them daily all fall long—but we definitely taste more of the chocolate than the pumpkin. If that's your vibe, nosh away: Each bar contains two grams each of protein and fiber.

Full disclosure: This zero-calorie, zero-sugar stevia-based sweetener has more of a spicy cinnamon flavor than pumpkin. If you like Red Hots candies, however, it may be for you. Put as little or as much as you'd like in your drink (warning: we found the dropper somewhat difficult to handle, resulting in adding more sweetener than we intended to).

Rich with notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and brown sugar, this candle is the pinnacle of cozy. "It's warm, buttery, spicy and decadent with pumpkin as a component, even though it’s called Spiced Pumpkin," clarifies editorial assistant Delia Curtis. "I think the pumpkin is clearly there and very lovely, but is well balanced with other scents for an even fragrance experience. I’ve been burning it while working from home for a cozy fall vibe; I crack the window for a cool autumnal breeze and let the scent take me away."

If you want to ensure your kids actually wash their hands, plop this bottle next to the sink. They’ll like coating their hands in the frothy foam. You’ll appreciate the elevated take on PSL szn, thanks to the aroma's essences of pumpkin, ginger, caramel and spice.

When you want every aspect of your life to smell like fall—down to your pits—you bet there’s a product for that. And in Native’s case, it’s not all hype: Fans go so crazy for this blend of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove that it often sells out within days of launching each year.

A whiff of this lightly latte-scented lipstick will bring you back to your LipSmackers days. What you’ll appreciate as an adult is the perfect-for-fall terracotta hue, and the fact that it stays put nearly all day long. "I've been using this lip gloss regularly since last year's version came out (read: you'll use it all year long)," says commerce director Nicole Briese. "Not only does it offer the most gorgeous shades of brown for daily wear, it smells and tastes (yes, tastes), like a pumpkin." (We also love the Pumpkin Spice Second Slice Eye Shadow Palette, which boasts colors like Whip It Good, Squash It and Cinn-Ful.)

There are plenty of gimmicky body scrubs and face masks out there this time of year, but Peter Thomas Roth’s is the real deal. It “hits that Goldilocks level where you can tell it’s really helping to exfoliate your face but it doesn’t feel like you’re stripping your skin off,” our fashion editor says. Plus, the scent is refreshing without lingering after you’ve used it, making it a great pick for anyone who’s sensitive to perfumes.

Savor Beauty’s serum earned our beauty director’s seal of approval after seeing how well it balanced out her skin—“especially during those drier, transitional months when I tend to get flaky,” she noted, adding that it’s hydrating without being overly greasy, and it didn’t give her breakouts. A win all around. (Also, it’s worth noting that the pumpkin here isn’t for show—the serum uses pumpkin seed oil, which is rich in zinc and vitamin E. It’s supposed to improve skin tone and fight acne.)
