    Let's see... Candy corn, PSL's at Starbucks, pumpkin cream cheese muffins also at Starbucks, pumpkin pie... Oh, and even though it's not terribly unhealthy (but too much of anything is never good), my homemade chicken noodle soup. As soon as the weather dips below a high of 50, every weekend I bust out the massive soup pots. I make 8 quarts at a time and can polish off up to 3 quarts in a day by myself. Disgraceful.

    For the fall, anything pumpkin. I love pumpkin muffins, doughnuts, and pumpkin spice lattes. Around the holidays, anything peppermint, eggnog, or gingerbread.

    Maple stuff. I love maple stuff. I also love candy corn and mallowcreme pumpkins. I was doing Whole30 last year during October and had NO candy on Halloween. Not this year! But it adds up, so won't have too much.

    My favorite coffee shop has a "Cinnamon Brown Sugar Breve" as their fall seasonal drink, new this year. I'll have one of those at some point. They used to have maple syrup lattes but thankfully got rid of them because that was hard to resist.

    Peppermint mocha! I use that flavor of coffee creamer year round now, but I love a real peppermint mocha from Starbucks. Not a big fan of pumpkin, so all the pumpkin treats out for this time of year aren't tempting me.

    Pumpkin lovers try this, dry yellow cake mix (I use sugar free), 6oz canned pumpkin and 6oz of cinnamon applesauce. Mix those 3 ingredients and spread into muffin tins, loaf pans or by the spoonful onto cookie sheets and bake as directed on box. I usually bake might a little longer but they're a healthy and hearty treat and quite filling. They need no frosting but you could add some ff cream chess blended with cinnamon and walnuts for a decadent flare.

    Vanilla Eggnog made by Scotsburn (for those of you living in NS, you know how we love our Scotsburn products!) whenever it comes out on the shelves again. I love it in coffee but it also tastes DELICIOUS with some Captain Morgan Spiced Rum.... :wink:




    [Edit: I forgot the topic was just Fall/Winter seasonal treats!]

    What I've been eating all week, caramel apple tootsie pops. Thank goodness they are a lower calorie sugar fix

    Like several other posters here, my weakness is pumpkin. Pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie, Starbucks pumpkin spice latte *drools on shirt*, pumpkin bars; essentially if it's got pumpkin in it, I'll eat it. Better start adding an extra workout day through the fall months to compensate.

    I think most of mine have been covered...pumpkin pie & pumpkin cheesecake are once a year foods for me, other pumpkin stuff like muffins I might make any time. Eggnog, oh that stuff is SOOOOO good and only at Christmas. Caramel apples. Ham with cherry sauce or pineapples (I eat ham all year, but the fruit toppings are a holiday thing). Fresh apple cider doughnuts at an apple orchard. Homemade shortbread cookies.

    Cutie oranges for $5 a box! I love those things. I hardly eat oranges during the rest of the year because they are never on sale here! Other than that, apple cider and apple-cinnamon anything.

    Fudge and peppermint ice cream. I wont be buying the peppermint ice cream, but I will be making fudge this year. I'll just be limiting myself to a few pieces and go with the understanding that the fudge will always be there, I don't have to eat a whole freaking pound of it. That was my problem with all food.
