Jell-O Pumpkin Spice [Seasonal Release]

And now... Even more Pumpkin Spice.
Yes, at Halloween everything must be spiced with Pumpkin Spice.
And I am starting to get a bit afraid of the flavor.
I mean, pumpkins are evil right?



Anyway... Today Jell-O has gotten the Pumpkin Spice treatment.
And I am fine with that. I like Jell-Os puddings.
The packaging is pretty autumy.
Brown and orange colors everywhere.
And lots of leaves colored everything autum.
Which I am starting to like.
I really like leaves.



Making the pudding was easy peasy.
Even if the screams from the cemetary next door was a bit annoying.
Damn ghouls, always howling around Halloween.
After letting the pudding set for more than five minutes.
Hey, these spiderwebs are not gonna clean themselves.
And then chasing of some hungry bats.
It was time to eat.



As you can see, we enjoyed our pudding with some whipped cream (it really is a must).
Not to be short, but it kind of looks like , smell and taste like gingerbread.
And that is fine, since we are closing in on Christmas.
That is, if we survive the nightmare before christmas...

Brach's Caramel Apple Candy Corn

Something that is a must at Halloween, is candy corn.
Last year I wrote about Brach's Candy Corn.
I did not really like them, but hey, why not try some different candy corn.
These are also fron Branch's, but they are flavored with caramel apple.



Now caramel apple is also a regular staple at Halloween, so why not combine them.
I do enjoy the simplicity of the bag.
It has the classic fall colors, yellow, orange and brown (with some leaves thrown in for effect).
And you get a clear view of the nicelly colored candy.
That redish color is awesome.



They have a caramel smell to them and a bit of the apple to.
The apple smell is very faint, but you do notice it if you try hard.
As I did not enjoy the "honey" flavor of the originals, I was not sure what to expect.
But these are quite lovely. There is a nice caramel flavor.
And they feel a bit more chewy than the original.
Though no apple flavor worth mentioning.

Pumpkin Spice Pancake Mix

At autum/Halloween, everything must be pumpkin spice flavoured!
That is a rule and you have to at least try something flavoured that way.
I was hungry and decided to make pancakes.
Pumpkin Spice flavoured pancakes!



Now, I know these are not scary at all, but that is not the point.
These are more autum than Halloween.
Nonetheless, the packaging is pretty sweet.
A nice autumy colour theme and lots of pumpkins.
And the pancakes on the front makes my mouth water.



Just add water and stir... Nothing could be easier.
Well, as you can see in the last picture, I kind of blew it.
They do look a bit more Halloweeny and they smell terrific.
A nice smell of pumpkin fills the room.
Despite them beeing a bit burned, they actually tastes very nice.
Pumpkin spice is a bit like gingerbread but not quite.

Halloween Blood Orange Pumpkin Juice Drink

It is getting darker for every minute that goes by.
There is a chill in the air.
The screams of a thousand ghouls and ghosts are increasing in volume.
Yes boys and girls, Halloween is coming.
And what better way to start the celebration than with some juice made from blood!



Blood orange that is... And some pumpkin thrown in for that autum feeling.
This is a juice from Solevita who apparently makes lots of different flavours.
But only one flavour can satisfy my needs this season.
A Halloweeny flavour.

The carton is orange, as it should be, but besides the haunted house and bats, it is not that scary.
I mean, the cat looks like we just caught him doing something it should not have.
And the scarecrow is too damn happy.
This did not scare me at all.



I must admit, I have never tasted pumpkin juice before.
And I think the juice both smells and taste of blood orange and not much else.
But I could be wrong.
The pumpkin flavour could be hiding somewhere waiting to scare my stomach silly.

Celebrating With Twinkies! - Part 2

That is right people.
This blogg is now three years young!
I do not know how it happened, but it happened.
I know that the amount of posts have been pretty scarce.
But I promise to make it up to you during the rest of the year.
And what a time we have left of the year, first the Halloween season.
And then the Christmas season.



But enough blabbering.
I am here to talk to you about Twinkies.
"But wait! Did you not talk about Twinkies at your first anniversary?" - You say.
Why yes, thank you for remembering.
A lot has happened since last time.
Hostess defaulted and then was reborn.
And lovers of Twinkies everywhere rejoiced.
They are calling it the "Sweetest Comeback In The History Of Ever".
And another thing... These are not your regular Twinkies.
These have a banana cream filling.





First let me talk about the box.
The box is... Wait, What?
Where is Twinkie the Kid?
Did they get rid of him?
Now the box just looks a bit tacky.
It is very random, but at least there are bananas flying around.





The Twinkies looks just like regular Twinkies.
But they have a nice smell of ripe bananas.
Which is a favorite smell of mine.
They taste as they should taste, unhealthy.
The banana flavour is not that prominent, but it is there.

And that is all I have to say today.
I sincereley hope there are people still reading this blogg.
If there are, please give me a comment or something :)

Pringles Xtreme Screamin' Dill Pickle

I need to get my snack on.
Unfortunately, I only have weird snacks at home.
Like these... Pringles with Screamin' Dill Pickle flavor.
But you gotta snack on what you gotta snack on.
And I like pickles, so lets try them.



The packaging is amazing.
There is like pickles flying everywhere.
It is like an pickle aerial assault on my mouth waiting to happen.
I noticed that they are on the strong side of the flavoring scale.
And that worries me a bit, because I am not that fond of spicy food.



The smell is a combination of dill and vinegar.
And I... Well I like it alot.
It is acctually a great smell.
It lingers in your nose and almost makes you sneeze.
And it made me more worried about the flavor.
But, yeah, the flavor is very nice.
It is not as pronounced as the smell.
It really tastes like dilled pickles.
There is a faint aftertaste of vinegar but that is ok.
I like these.

Reese's Puffs Cereal

*Yaaaawn*
What? Have I been asleep for the whole summer?
This calls for breakfast. I am hungry!
I really dig Reese's peanut butter products.
And this cereal just sounds epic.

The cereal is as you can see based on the candy from Hershey's/Reese's.
With separated puffs with the flavour of Hershey's cocoa and Reese's peanut butter.
The packaging is very much Reese's.
With its orange and yellow colours and that great logo.
And on the back they make you into a DJ!
What? I do not understand this... Their directions suck.
I decided to create my own name instead.
Grand Master Candy Funk!



Time to rap!
"That peanut butter chocolate I must possess"
"Is the hookup that I flavor that I must possess"
"Reese's Puffs, Reese's Puffs, in your bowl, in your bowl!"

"Recognize the taste that I flavour"
"Reese's Puffs Reese's Puffs,"
"Wow peanut butter flavor!"

"So crucial to my cereal vernacular"
"That peanut butter hookup is oh so spectacular!"
"Reese's Puffs, Reese's Puffs!"

"My Reese's Puffs are totally radical"
"Each peanut butter orb is totally radical"
Reese's Puffs, Reese's Puffs, in your bowl, in your bowl!"

Yeah!



Ok, time for breakfast.
Carefully pour the cereal into a bowl and fill it up with milk.
There is definitely a smell of peanut butter.
I do not know if it is Reese's peanut butter, but I will take it.
There is not that much taste at first, kind of disappointed.
But, after a while, there is a nice after taste of peanut butter.
They were far from perfect, but they were still pretty epic.
