8 Pumpkin Spice-Flavored Treats Every Basic Girl Needs In Her Life This Fall
It's time to saddle up for all that is fall, and if that includes being basic as hell, then so be it. As much as the changing season is involuntary and it's torturous letting go of summer, we're here for the food options. And let's be clear, pumpkin spice-flavored food will be all the rave soon enough, and we will be fist pumping down every aisle, giddily waiting in lines and swooning over the new seasonal treats whipped out this year.
Food is life, literally, and if anyone tells you they don't reap the benefits of fall food galore, they're lying and clearly they're missing out. Seriously though, that's definitely their loss. Our inner foodie almost can't handle all of the glorious options that seem to all spring up once September hits. Who knew pumpkins could be used in so many different ways? We've honestly lost count.
It's literally a magical, mouthwatering wonderland for our taste buds, and we certainly aren't complaining. We're too busy feasting our eyes on these drool-worthy goodies. So, if you're willing to skip down basic lane this fall with a Pumpkin Spice Latte in hand, try pairing it with one of these treats.

It's time to snap, crackle, and pop one of these babies right into your mouth this fall. I don't think marshmallows have any better duty than to be the sticky base for this treat. Seconds are basically mandatory.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? Might as well start it off with the grasp of pumpkin in fall. Is there a pumpkin spice syrup? We need to know.

Spiked lollipops are really a thing. Sometimes, adults need that childhood nostalgia, you know. Your fall bases aren't all covered if you skip out on one of these.
7. Jell-O Has Literally Done It All

The fascination with Jell-O just peaked that much more. It's hard to explain why we like it, but now we can swoon even more this fall. Our spoons are ready.
8. Yes, Muffins And Cupcakes Are Totally Different Concepts

We already mentioned cupcakes, but muffins are in their own category. They're more acceptable to eat in the morning so there's room for fewer judgments when you have a couple of these for your big breakfast. Sharing may not be your cup of tea anymore.
Every year is an opportunity to get into the swing of fall with a little basic taste testing. We're ready to greet fall with open arms but an even wider mouth. Seriously, there's no shame in our game.
