Final Pumpkin Tasting Round Up

Fall seems to have come to an abrupt end a lot sooner than expected.

As of yesterday, all of the stores that I frequent have already taken down all of the Fall decor and rolled out all of the Christmas decorations. The seasons are starting earlier and earlier every single year.

To wrap up our Great Pumpkin Taste off, below are the final three reviews of the fall season:

Dunkin Donut's Pumpkin Donut
Unlike the Krispy Kreme Pumpkin Spice doughnut, Dunkin was a huge disappointment. I'm a bug Dunkin fan, however their take on a pumpkin donut treat was completely unsatisfying. To be completely honest it literally was like eating a pumpkin flavored sponge. I wasn't even able to finish the entire donut because I was so uninterested. If you're after a festive fall donut, hit up Krispy Kreme.

711 Pumpkin Latte
I know what you're thinking. I've completely lost my mind to be willing to try 711's Pumpkin Latte. However, my decision to get a 711 Pumpkin Latte came after an intense taste testing.

Every night I go to 711 to get my wife a slurppee (yes, every night). 711 has a coffee machine set up for customers to get hot chocolate, cappacino's and their featured Pumpkin Latte.

Next to the machines are sample cups and on several occasions I opted to try the Pumpkin Latte on my way to the check out. Much to my surprise....it was very good. Don't get me wrong it was not a luxurious Starbucks experience, but for only a couple bucks it was creamy, tasty and delicious.

Pumpkin Pie Blizzard
Nothing beats the sweet taste of Pumpkin Pie mixed in with DQ's fantastic soft serve. The Pumpkin Pie Blizzard is a classic fall treat.

Although it's not my favorite Blizzard flavor (peppermint is, and it's coming up soon), it's still a good choice if you're in a fall festive mood.

There are a lot of great options out there for those of you who crave the sweet taste of pumpkin, however of all the different things I tasted there is one that truly stood out: Krispy Kreme's Pumpkin Spice Doughnut. I was surprised at how good it was and the combination of pumpkin and spice was perfect, not to mention the sweet topping of Krispy Kreme's signature icing.

Since the season is now coming to a close, you better hurry if you want to eat any more pumpkin products that restaurant's are serving. After all, Christmas is just around the corner and word on the streets is that Starbucks is rolling out their holiday drinks tomorrow...
