For my non-dairy friends out there, Halo Top is the best. And pumpkin flavored!?

15. Talenti Pumpkin Pie Gelato Ice Cream - $5.19

Ugh, if you can eat dairy, I am SO jealous right now. Talenti is famous for its rich, creamy gelato, and in a pumpkin flavor—I can't even imagine the deliciousness. Go forth and feast.

16. RX Bar Pumpkin Spice - $8.39

I SWEAR by RX Bars. They keep me full in between meals and have a whopping ~12~ grams of protein. This pumpkin flavor is the literal embodiment of having my cake and eating it too.

17. Larabar Pumpkin Pie - $5.79

If you're not a fan of RX Bars, try these! They are at a lower price point and are still yummy, say, for a fall reading session.

18. Alpine Spiced Cider Instant Drink Mix - $2.59

Oof, I will definitely be making these this season. Imagine sipping this lovely apple cider drink as you're just waking up, starting off the day with a rustic twist of goodness. Insert *chef's kiss* meme here.

19. Delighted by Pumpkin Hummus - $5.99

Okay, this is a bit out there, but here me out. Dessert hummus!? And in pumpkin flavor!? I think I'm on board (emphasis on think).

20. Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Creamer - $4.99

Yes, the VSCO girl delicacy: pumpkin spice creamer. For any and all basic occasions. *drops mic*
