This year there are more products than ever that are bring the flavor profile to store shelves as well as plenty of other treats as well.

But there are plenty more delights to enjoy from brands like Hostess, Voortman, Coffee mate, Pop-Tarts and more. As we've done for the past few years, we've put together a roundup of some of the best pumpkin spice and fall-themed treats for fans to enjoy.
