All the Tastiest Fall-Themed Treats That DON’T Incorporate Pumpkin Spice
As much as we love ourselves a good PSL, pumpkin spice is far from the only fall flavor worth indulging in this season.
From ginger and apple to maple and chai, there are a number of flavors that are all wonderfully evocative of the season, without having to taste like a plump slice of pie. Curious to see what we're loving this year? Just keep scrolling to find out.
Molly Bz The Bossman Cookie
Maple has to be one of our favorite fall flavors, and we love the way Molly Bz's The Bossman cookie blends the sweet, syrupy goodness of maple with white chocolate chips and salty, meaty bacon to make for an unforgettable flavor experience. Maple and bacon are a match made in heaven, and thanks to their inclusion, this cookie is practically a meal in itself.

Moon Man x Umamicart Thai Tea Kaya Jam
Kaya jam is a kind of coconut spread popular throughout Southeast Asia, and Moon Man makes some of the best kaya jam around—especially when they infuse them with unique flavors. This Thai Tea flavor was made in collaboration with Umamicart, flavoring the jam with black tea spiced with star anise, cardamom and tamarind to be bold as well as warming. Add it to your favorite dessert or simply spread it on toast to get that cozy fall goodness in every bite.

buchi Fire Kombucha
We love ginger during the fall because of the heat it brings, warming us from the inside out, and buchi's Fire kombucha blend adds both ginger and cayenne to really spice things up. It may be hot, but that's just what you need as the temperatures dip to perk you up, and the active probiotics and digestive enzymes will help you feel even better.

XO Marshmallow Butterbeer Marshmallows
XO Marshmallow has the fluffiest, best-tasting marshmallows we've ever had the pleasure of stuffing into our mouths, but they're somehow made even better with the butterscotchy goodness of Butterbeer. It combines that buttery caramel flavor with cinnamon, cream and vanilla to warm our souls and put a smile on our faces.

Elmhurst Chai Spice Oat Creamer
Just because you're done with pumpkin spice for a little bit doesn't mean you can't whip up a mean fall-flavored latte, and Elmhurst's Chai Spice Oat Creamer makes it easier than ever to do so. Their oat creamer is thick, rich and creamy, giving your coffee the smoothness you crave, as well as all of your favorite chai spices, and enough sweetness that you don't have to add any extra sugar.
