Pumpkin muffins, root vegetables, and apple crumb cheesecake deserve a spot in your grocery cart.
Living in Southern California , I do not witness the emersion of fall through gloss - changing leaves or a frisson in the air . Instead , I know gloaming has formally arrived through the bulk ofpumpkin - season - everythingthat gracesgrocery memory shelvescome September and October ( despite it still being 90 degrees outside ) .
Costcois no different . There are the classics , of path : hugepumpkin piesthat can feed a home of 12 , spiced pumpkin streusel muffins that can be purchased alongside the storage warehouse ’s classic coffee cakes and blueberry bush muffins , that rotisserie chicken deal that is year - round but especially contributory to stocks in the fall . And then there ’s the fun material : hot chocolate dud shaped like eyeballs for Halloween , Panerasquash soups for lazy weeknight dinner , pumpkin - flavored madeleines perfect fortea time . Here are all the fun autumn - theme food for thought and drink items you should pick up in your next Costco haul .
Pumpkin Streusel Muffins
The massive gem at Costco can be split in half for a sweet breakfast and then an afternoon snack , which is what I tend to do when I pick up one of those six - packs . But or else of just chocolate and blueberry bush , you’re able to now get pumpkin muffin too , which are warmed with Ceylon cinnamon tree and top with a crumbly streusel topping and drizzle of icing .
Apple Pie
Although it clocks in at a mere $ 14.99 , thisapple pielikely contains an entire grove — it ’s that freehanded . The weft is snog with cinnamon and the pastry dough is flaky and baked well , so no soggy bottom here . The turbinado scratch on top allow a bit of crush and add redolence .
Pumpkin Pie
I ’m not really sure why the pumpkin pie is only $ 5.99 when it ’s rough the same size as the apple , but I wo n’t call into question it . If you ’re not feeling up to baking pies this Thanksgiving , the pumpkin Proto-Indo European at Costco will certainly be enough for guests due to its size and the price is invincible .
White Chocolate Cocoa Bombs
For your upcoming Halloween - themed movie endurance contest , make certain to pick up a face pack of these ashen chocolate raging cocoa bombs . They ’re enwrap in a design mean to copy an eyeball and each sphere is filled with marshmallow . They would also make great favors for a Halloween party .
Panera Autumn Squash Soup
For thesoup girlsout there , Costco always has a wonderful option of tortilla soup , clam chowder , tomato soup , and more . But fall is when Panera ’s autumn squash soup rolling wave in . We ’re here for its vigour and fresh , comforting smack .
Chef Hak’s Roasted Root Vegetable Mix
Picked up a $ 5 rotisserie volaille and looking to make out dinner with a side ? Here you go . This roast root veg mixture hold a blend of cultivated carrot , parsnip , sweet white potato vine , and butternut mash togged up in Olea europaea oil and rosemary . The ascendent vegetable are already cooked ; you just need to heat them up in theair fryeror frying pan for maximum roasted flavor .
Zak’s Tavern Oktoberfest Buttered Spaetzle
What better food to sop up all the beers ofOktoberfestthan buttered spaetzle ? This version is a bit oily , but perfect alongside pork schnitzel that is also available at Costco .
Junior’s Apple Crumb Cheesecake
Yes , you may find New York ’s finest cheesecake in your local Costco warehouse . This fall single check a cinnamon strudel and spiced apple atop a creamy and tangy cheesecake base . And , like all afters at Costco , it ’s enough for a party .
Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Quick Bread Mix
In my household , downslope has not formally started until a pumpkin simoleons is pulled from the oven , smelling sweet and savoury and nostalgic . But making pumpkin bread from scratch can sometimes be a pain . If you ’re in a pinch , this Krusteaz mixture is quick and easy and the results are as every bit yummy .
Sugar Bowl Bakery Pumpkin Spice Madeleines
The Sugar Bowl Bakery item at Costco are always a must - grease one’s palms in my crime syndicate . We indulge on brownies , palmiers , and the originalmadeleinesthroughout the year , and fall is no different with pumpkin madeleines . The theme song hump of a madeleine is present , as is the soft crumb and larder flavor that carry a hint of autumn pumpkin .
Jose’s Pumpkin Spice Coffee
For those moments when you do n’t want to drop an exorbitant amount of hard cash on aStarbucks PSL , there ’s Jose ’s Cucurbita pepo - flavored beans , which are aromatic without being cloyingly sugared . Pair this with a pumpkin or maple cream pitcher for even more heightened downslope vibe .
Honolulu Cookie Company Mini Bites Pumpkin
The Honolulu Cookie Company macadamia tree nut cookies are the souvenirs my family and friend beg for on every trip to Hawaii , and with honest reason . The lettuce is poor and lovely , while pockets of macadamia tree nuts add an even more pantry flavor . The swell news is that I no longer have to travel to Hawaii to scratch that shortbread cookie itch . Even well , there ’s a pumpkin version for descent .
