Eatery chain Auntie Anne's has created a pumpkin spice pretzel snack that celebrates the fall season with popular autumnal flavors. The item is the Pumpkin Spice Nuggets that are bite-sized pretzels rolled in sugary seasoning.
Pumpkin spice is a classic fall flavoring that incorporates popular aromas such as cinnamon, brown sugar and pumpkin found in pumpkin pie. Since Auntie Anne's is known for its pretzel snacks, the chain created these miniature soft pretzels rolled in a sugary pumpkin spice coating. The snack is available exclusively through the month of fall until Halloween. In addition to the Pumpkin Spice Nuggets, multiple Auntie Anne's locations will also be serving a pumpkin smoothie flavor for consumers to order and enjoy during the cooler season.
