Don't think he needed much help and who would lol

Before tasting legit donuts from some US based shops I thought good quality donuts were a thing of the past.
CDN shops used to make decent fresh donuts but now they're smaller and taste stale, maybe because theyre pre-made, frozen and re-heated :(

Just grabbing seasonal stuff around Erie ATM
the 2 donuts (cinnamon and apple were seasonal) dad gets the glazed and chocolate fried cake
mom got the cream filled (Chocolate)

Hitting up some Cake, Pumpkin Roll's, and other various things the next few weeks especially pumpkin things. My goal is to find the best pumpkin roll in erie. so far giant eagle has been meh.. Whole foods was solid, and just had that one from Tasty Bake (new shop) that i will try tonight.
 
Pumpkin Puffins
6/10

Pretty bland, and not much pumpkin taste to them. I only tried them right out of the box, not in milk or in protein pudding/sludge which may change the taste in combination with other factors. There is a very mild and slight aftertaste of pumpkin which is minimal. No real taste of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove or any other pumpkin aspects.

I would skip on these honestly. Pumpkin O's are much better

Thanks for the review, I was not too optimistic on these nor do I think pumpkin mini wheats will be very strong. Pumpkin Capn Crunch would be epic!

Never had Reese Puffs?
do you live under a rock?

Those are just my top 5, no particular order. if i am in the mood for PB, they hit the spot everytime.
 
Not to bring up DQ again and start an argument lol. However, a lot of people had Smores Blizzard in the #1 spot for blizzards. It is never returning. Rip Smores Blizzard.

Gotta let me know on the choc charms. I'm not usually much of a plain choc person (and was actually surprised The Solution had them on his tops list)

I had Count chocula a couple months ago and thought it wasn't as good as I remember from my fat kid days. I am opening Frankenberry in a couple weeks after I finish PB toast crunch (which I actually really like with PB sludge).

OK, it will be the next one I buy ...trusting your judgement. Every now and then the Family size box goes on sale for a ridiculous price too ha.

Pumpkin Spice mini wheat review
After opening the box and the bag. The smell of pumpkin was evident in the box. The smell invites you in to try it and you are welcomed by a nice flavor. It is not that overwhelming of a flavor, as the wheat part of the cereal takes away from some of the frosting on it. After eating more I can really enjoy the pumpkin flavor, but the wheatiness, does take away from the flavor. If the whole cereal biscuit was covered in the pumpkin spice frosting it would be a heaven sent. Overall 7/10

While I really liked them, I thought they just tasted like sugar covered, not an actual sugar cookie (ie vanilla ish flavoring). They were definintely a buy-again, just not on my top tier.
