# Autumnal Pumpkin Brittles The Trader Joe's Pumpkin Seed Brittle is a Festive Fall Snack By M | Published 2015-10-17 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-brittle References: [bakeat350.blogspot](http://bakeat350.blogspot.ca/2015/10/trader-joes-pumpkin-seed-brittle-review.html) & [bakeat350.blogspot](http://bakeat350.blogspot.ca) [Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spiced-teeny-tiny-pretzels) has released a festive Pumpkin Seed Brittle that offers the classic sweet treat infused with fresh fall flavors and produce. The brittle features many ingredients you'd find in a pumpkin pie making it a great alternative sweet for those that want to try something a bit different. Brittle usually features a caramel crust filled with toppings such as nuts or chocolate. This pumpkin version by Trader Joe's features a mixture of salty and sweet flavors. The caramel is peppered with pumpkin seeds and topped with a spiced pumpkin sugar coating making this a crunchy but very sugary dessert. The pieces are broken up into single-servings making the brittle ideal for sharing. With the high content of sugar in this dessert, it is ideal to have one or two pieces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Festive Fall Snacks:** Food and beverage companies can create unique, seasonal snacks with traditional fall flavors to attract holiday consumers. - **Alternative Sweet Treats:** Confectionery companies can innovate by using non-traditional ingredients in sweets to offer consumers a healthier option. - **Single-serving Treats:** Companies can appeal to consumers who are looking for portion control by packaging their treats in smaller, single-serving sizes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can capitalize on seasonal flavors to create limited-time offerings that generate excitement among consumers. - **Confectionery:** Confectionery companies can create new and innovative sweet treats that cater to health-conscious consumers. - **Packaging:** The packaging industry can help companies appeal to consumers who are looking for portion control by designing and producing smaller, single-serving packaging for food products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seasonal Pumpkin Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spiced-joejoes.md) - [Sugar-Dusted Pumpkin Loaves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-pumpkin-loaf.md) - [Maple-Spiced Nut Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-spiced-nut-mix.md) - [Festive Fall Hand Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-pumpkin-hand-pies.md) - [Hard Shell Peanut Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-pillows.md) - [Sticky Pumpkin-Infused Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-pumpkin-sticky-toffee-cakes.md) - [Holiday-Themed Pretzel Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festively-shaped-pretzels.md) - [Season Pumpkin Dog Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harvest-brunch-dog-treats.md) - [Halloween-Themed Sprinkle Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-sprinkle.md)
