The Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spiced Pumpkin Seeds are a meta seasonal snack variety that aims to deliver a burst of familiar autumnal flavor for fans of the namesake spice blend to enjoy. The snack starts with hulled pumpkin seeds that have been covered in a butter-sugar toffee glaze before being seasoned with a melange of pumpkin pie spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice. This creates a sweet, savory flavor profile that's perfect for those who are seeking out an alternative way to enjoy the taste of seasonal fall food varieties.
