This is basically a part two of our pumpkin spice taste test post, but we’ve got a few things to try that aren’t pumpkin flavored this time! (Most of the snacks aren’t spooky, just pumpkin flavored. But seasonal snack taste test didn’t have the same ring to it.)

Haunted Gingerbread House
We made a haunted gingerbread house and some spooky gingerbread men to go with it! Here are all of the pictures we took of them. Btw, sorry about the short post today, we just don’t have much to write about our gingerbread house!
Pumpkin Spice Taste Test
Pumpkin spice is definitely the most popular Fall flavor, so the grocery stores have pretty much EVERYTHING you could ever want in pumpkin flavor. So we bought all of the pumpkin flavored things that we could find, and then rated them! Now you don’t have to buy ALL of the things, and you can just get the best ones.
Pepperidge Farms Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies
Ehh… 5 out of 10
I think the pumpkin cheesecake cookies were okay… At first, you get a little bit of pumpkin flavor, and then it’s really sweet. Maybe too sweet for some people, but perfect for people with a sweet tooth. I just think these would be 100% perfect if they had dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate.
Pepperidge Farms Pumpkin Spice Milano’s
Pretty good! 6/10
These were pretty good! Once again, I think they’d be amazing with more chocolate! The pumpkin spice flavor is a little bit overwhelming, so I think regular Milanos are better.
Pillsbury Grands! Pumpkin Spice Rolls
Amazing! 9/10
These are the best canned cinnamon rolls! The only reason they aren’t getting 10/10 is because my teeth are sensitive to the processed sugar in them, so a lot of the time they give me a toothache! 😣😢
Pumpkin Spice Cheerios
So good! 7/10
These Cheerios are really good! The best cereal ever would be a combination of these and Honey Nut Cheerios!
Voortman Bakery Pumpkin Spice Wafers
In love! 10/10
These have just the right amount of pumpkin flavor, and I love wafer cookies! These with hot chocolate would be the most perfect Fall snack!
Pumpkin Spice Special K
Really good! 8/10
I was upset at first that the flakes aren’t the same as the original Special K, but this cereal is still really good! It’s my favorite of the pumpkin cereals I’ve tried so far.
Pumpkin Spice belVita Breakfast Biscuit
Good 5/10
Why did I say these are good when I rated them a five out of ten? It’s because there’s not really any pumpkin spice flavor. They taste a lot like a regular belVita biscuit. These would be perfect with peanut butter on them, or on a s’more!
This obviously isn’t all of the pumpkin spice flavored stuff available this season, but for some reason we’ve had a hard time finding anything at the grocery stores!

Jack Skellington Ritz Cracker Cookies
These cookies are kind of a Christmas tradition for our family, but today we decided to Halloween-ify them! And Halloween + Christmas makes us think of The Nightmare Before Christmas, so that’s what we decorated the cookies like!
Here’s how to make the cookies. There are two versions that you can make!
You will need
Ritz crackers
Peanut butter
White almond bark
Decorating icing
OR if that doesn’t sound good to you, you can make the other version we came up with, which is just chocolate covered Oreos instead of chocolate covered peanut butter ritz sandwiches.
Step one
Make peanut butter sandwiches by putting peanut butter in between two ritz crackers (if you’re using Oreos, just take them out of the package.)
Step two
Put the almond bark into a microwave safe bowl, microwaving in 30 second increments and stirring until melted.
Step three
Dip the cookie sandwiches into the chocolate and place them on a flat surface covered with wax paper or parchment paper. Wait for them to cool and for the chocolate to harden.
Step four
When they’re ready, decorate them! We used this decorating icing from Walmart with some decorating tips that were also at Walmart.
Here are some pictures of how our cookies turned out! We made some ritz and some Oreos.
If you make any of these, don’t forget to tag us on Instagram or Twitter. We’d love to see them! And sorry if this post wasn’t the best… it’s our first recipe post!
