It\u2019s because the black cat tried the candy and had its kitty mind blown by how good it is.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Pumpkin-Pie-Kit-Kat-2.jpg?resize=600%2C450\" alt=\"Pumpkin Pie Kit Kat 2\" title=\"Pumpkin Pie Kit Kat 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Kit Kat fingers look as if they\u2019re caramel or dulce de leche-flavored, but they smell straight up pumpkin pie or like I\u2019ve walked into the fall section at my local Target. <\/p>\n<p>According to the thousands of recipes Google spits back at me after plugging in \u201cpumpkin pie\u201d in its search box, the common spices in one are cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Those aren\u2019t listed in the ingredients for this candy. Instead, there\u2019s \u201cnatural flavor and artificial flavor.\u201d I\u2019m not sure what\u2019s natural or artificial, but, geez, the first bar I ate had a spice kick I was not expecting. Although, my taste buds have gotten used to it because every bar I\u2019ve had since hasn\u2019t been as intense. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Pumpkin-Pie-Kit-Kat-3a.jpg?resize=599%2C429\" alt=\"Pumpkin Pie Kit Kat 3a\" title=\"Pumpkin Pie Kit Kat 3a.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"429\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Having tried so many pumpkin spice\/pumpkin pie-flavored products that I\u2019m surprised I don\u2019t smell spicy, I thought it would have a strong cinnamon flavor, followed by the other spices. That would\u2019ve been great. But, nope, the cinnamon flavor takes a back seat to the ginger and nutmeg, which is also great. Because of the elevated ginger flavor, there are moments when the candy bar reminds me of a ginger snap cookie. But for the most part, it smells and tastes like pumpkin pie.<\/p>\n<p>But, the weird thing is, while I enjoy it very much and it\u2019s the best tasting limited edition U.S. Kit Kat flavor I\u2019ve had, I don\u2019t feel compelled to eat the printed serving size, which is three two-piece bars. I\u2019ll devour two fingers, let out a couple of food pleasure moans, lick off whatever creme melted onto my fingers, rub my tummy, and then I\u2019m good.<\/p>\n<p>But overall, you\u2019re right black cat on the packaging, Pumpkin Pie Kit Kat is eye-popping wonderful.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 3 two-piece bars &#8211; 220 calories, 100 calories from fat, 12 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 35 milligrams of sodium, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 19 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> Purchased on eBay so I paid more than I should<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 9.8 oz. bag<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> N\/A<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Smells and tastes like pumpkin pie.
