I wonder if this will eventually lead to store brand peanut butter cup-flavored candy corn. (Spotted by Sylvia at CVS.)

CVS Gold Emblem Limited Edition Pumpkin Cookies

I could’ve sworn I saw this last year from Gold Emblem. Or maybe I’m confusing it with Target pumpkin cookies from last year. (Spotted by Sylvia at CVS.)

Dove 3 Flavor Assortments with Dark Chocolate Crispy Bag Exclusive Flavor

Dove 3 Flavor Assortments with Dark Chocolate Crispy Bag Exclusive Flavor

Oooh, “Bag Exclusive Flavor” available at a store that requires membership. That makes it doubly hard to put in my mouth, so I guess I won’t be eating it. (Spotted by Robbie at Sam’s Club.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: Krispy Kreme Salted Caramel Latte and Salted Caramel Latte Doughnut

Krispy Kreme Salted Caramel Latte and Salted Caramel Latte Doughnut

For the fall season Krispy Kreme has brought back their Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnut, but the donut and coffee chain also has two new seasonal items — the Salted Caramel Latte and Salted Caramel Latte Doughnut.

The salted caramel-flavored latte features a blend of salt and amber sugar and is topped with whipped cream. It’s available hot, iced, or frozen. The doughnut has a yeast shell filled with an espresso-flavored creme filling and topped with salted caramel icing, salted sugar, and an espresso icing drizzle.

The seasonal menu items are available through November 26 at participating Krispy Kreme locations in the U.S. and Canada.

If you’ve tried any of them, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Dunkin’ Donuts BlenDDed Shakes

Dunkin Donuts Blendded Shakes

Dunkin’ Donuts is testing milkshakes.

Impulsive Buy reader Joshua took this photo of Dunkin’ Donuts’ BlenDDed Shake samples at a location in Davie, Florida. As you can see in the picture, the whipped cream and sprinkles-topped treat is available in strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla.

It’s a bit weird to see Dunkin’ Donuts do shakes because its sister company is Baskin-Robbins, which does milkshakes. It like if the companies under Yum Brands umbrella decided offer menu items that they don’t specialize in. For example, Pizza Hut coming out with tacos like Taco Bell, or KFC offering pizza.

Among Friends Alec’s Brownie Mix

Who’s Alec? Why does he have a brownie mix? Or maybe Alec is a she? Why does she have a brownie mix? Can I be Alec’s friend? If I become Alec’s friend, can I get my own brownie mix? Or cookie mix? Do I have to be a friend? Can I be an acquaintance? (Spotted by Sylvia at Target.)
