Goldbelly, the online marketplace for America's best food shops, has just begun selling new Pumpkin Bagels courtesy of The Bagel Nook.
The Bagel Nook is a New Jersey-based shop that's begun selling orange bagels shaped just like little pumpkin gourds. Each bagel measures five-inches round and features a little green stem that's made out of licorice. As Goldbelly describes the fluffy baked goods, "These a great for decorating a holiday brunch or just as a cheery morning surprise."
Though these bagels look just like real pumpkins, it's worth noting that the bagels don't actually taste like pumpkin or pumpkin spice. However, there is the option to add flavored cream cheese in the middle for that burst of flavor.
