The number of products boasting a blend of pumpkin spice is reaching new highs with the Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin Spice Swirl Bread being the latest to hit the market. Created as a limited-edition loaf, the bread is thickly sliced to make it suitable for toasting and enjoying with butter or with your choice of sweet spread.
Seasonal flavor products are being created on a widespread scale to turn the changing of the seasons into an event that's marked with signature items. While pumpkin spice was arguably popularized by Starbucks with the Pumpkin Spice Latte, the infusion of cinnamon, sugar and spices into other food products is seeing the flavor coveted by autumn-loving consumers.
The Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin Spice Swirl Bread fits in well with the other products from the brand that all focus on baked goods and sweet treats.
