Review
When you open the bag, you’re met with a moderately sweet, semi-artificial, donut-like pumpkin smell. They’re covered with a dark, semi-thick, tan-colored cream.
The taste is just like the smell: a fairly sweet, sugary flavor with a pumpkin donut-like note. It’s definitely not an authentic pumpkin; it’s more like a donut you would buy from Dunkin’—a bit artificial and on the sugary side. I also appreciate the subtle salty note from the pretzel. To note, there is no coffee flavor!
In terms of texture, it’s smooth on the outside and has a light, soft crunch inside. Don’t expect the crunch of a regular, uncovered pretzel — this is softer, as if the coating itself softened it up a bit.
Pretzel fans will enjoy this, especially for its uniqueness. Even as someone who isn’t a big fan of these types of treats, the flavor is definitely good enough to consider buying this again.
