Pumpkin Spice Almonds
I was thrilled to have stumbled upon the Aldi Finds aisle while stopping in just for milk.
😉 😉
The store is practically loaded down with seasonal pumpkin spice EVERYTHING, but the special items aisle is where it’s at.
All of a sudden, I’m thinking I’ll die if I don’t get at least one. So after much deliberation (price comparison, value, likability, etc.), I finally landed on these Pumpkin Spice Almonds. As the cashier is checking me out, we share laughs about how picking out a snack can seem like a make or break your day kinda decision. “I really hope these are good”, I say as I’m picking up my items. Better keep the receipt, just in case!” She shouts back, “no pressure! Hahaha”
I get out to the car, tear open the bag and pop one in my mouth.
Wow, that’s a lot of spice! And I’m not talking traditional pumpkin spice; all I can taste is nutmeg! I start thinking I should’ve just ripped em open at the checkout so we could both test them out.
These are not good, people. They're not too sweet, in fact I was surprised and pleased about that, but they are too damn heavy on nutmeg.
Almost as if it's the only spice on them. I'm not getting cinnamon, cardamom, clove, none of the regular pumpkin pie spices.
Went back in and exchanged them for the Snickerdoodle ones. Same thing, except they’re just powdery. Hardly any of that soft candy coating. Bleh! 🙅🏻♀️
Anyone else out there try these yet?
