Pumpkin spice peanuts?? You mean they have a candy coating that tastes like pumpkin spice? Nope. They're just peanuts with a pumpkin spice flavored powder on them—similar to those spicy peanuts that simply have a dusting of chili powder. Interesting, I guess. Not my favorite. They're a little too dusty if you ask me. It's almost like they crushed up some autumn potpourri and then rolled peanuts in it. Makes me want to cough when I eat them.
Next up: cinnamon pretzel balls. We've seen those before. See this review of Maple Trail Mix from last fall. They work pretty well in this mix, too.
Yogurt-covered raisins. Self-explanatory. They function as the sweetest elements in the mix. I just wish there were more of them. Also, I'm not sure if yogurt-covered raisins can ever be called "rustic."
"Pumpkin seed kernels." So...basically just pumpkin seeds, AKA pepitas. They're salty and crunchy and they congregate on the bottom of the bag. They might want to consider a "shake well" warning on the label, because as is, the second half of the bag will be significantly seedier and saltier than the first half. No biggie.
It's hard to get all of the constituent ingredients in one bite. When you do, it's definitely cinnamony, salty, and sweet—and vaguely pumpkin spice-esque. It's not bad, but it's not really one of my favorites, either. If we ever buy it again it'll be because the wife wants another bag next fall.
The ingredients list for this product is a doozy. Here's a link in case you want read that or the nutrition info.
I give this trail mix 7 out of 10 stars.
Lol at “l’m not sure if yogurt-covered raisins can ever be considered rustic.”
ReplyDeleteThey had one bag of these at “my” Target in the bedding aisle like someone carried them around and left them. So I carried them around and left them. Your review makes me glad I didn’t buy them.
Check out the apple cinnamon trail mix if you can find it. It's worth not leaving in the bedding aisle :)
Delete🤣 I do like the apple Cinnamon one!
