It’s officially fall! Let the food festivities begin!
October’s more than just a time for tricks, treats and getting pumped about pumpkin. It’s a time to enjoy everything from sweet to savory.
Check out some unbe-LEAF-able ways to celebrate food and fall.
National Pretzel Month
Don’t need much encouragement to honor the salty snack we can-knot put down.
Halloween’s coming up. So let’s go for a sweet and salty combo – like gooey chocolatey Nassau Candy Sea Salt Caramel Pretzels.
Feeling extra indulgent? Then opt for Nassau Candy’s Chocolate Covered Premiere Pretzels sprinkled with Mini M&M’S or Reese’s Pieces.
October 1 — Pumpkin Spice Day
Some of us have been heralding the return of Pumpkin Spice since August. October 1’s Pumpkin Spice Day just makes it official.
Celebrate with more than a basic latte. Try a little touch of bubbly like Hank’s Pumpkin Spice Soda. Its sweet and spicy flavors are sure to get you pumped for all things pumpkin.
Gifts are not a must for pumpkin spice day. But they ARE appreciated. A pumpkin spiced treat that’s great for gifting is Nancy Adams Pumpkin Spice Bark Tin.
The tin makes Nancy Adams Pumpkin Spice Bar ready for gifting. What’s inside is a true treat. Chocolate and pumpkin spice-flavored bark, topped with white and orange sprinkles and a white frosting drizzle!
October 10 — Tic Tac Day
Not a fan of pumpkin? No biggie! Refresh yourself with the mint and fruit flavors of Tic Tac on National Tic Tac Day.
There are many different ways to join in on the Merri-MINT. Like limited edition lemon lime Sprite Tic Tac.
For a very fall way to celebrate, go with Orange Tic Tac and its seasonally appropriate bright orange color.
October 13 — M&M’S Day
It’s a milk chocolate in a candy shell-ebration!
M&M’S are already fun enough. But a day dedicated to celebrating their chocolate and crunchy goodness is something we can all get behind.
With so many different M&M’S flavors available the ways to celebrate are endless.
Can’t decide between the M&M’S’ classics, Original, Peanut Dutter and Peanut? Don’t worry —there’s M&M’S Classic Mix that has all three flavors in one bag.
For something a little out of the box, enjoy with the flavors of party favorite, brownies, in M&M’s Fudge Brownie.
October 16 — Liqueur Day
Nothing gets you in the celebrating spirit quite like a little spirits – or in this case liqueur.
Liqueur is a favorite pairing with chocolates. For a true liqueur experience, go with chocolate liqueur bottle gift sets from Anton Berg filled with cocktail, coffee liqueur, or single malt scotch.
Celebrating solo? Goldkenn has chocolate bars infused with popular spirits like Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum, Jack Daniels Whiskey, and Cointreau.
October 22 — Nut Day
With their shades of dark browns and tans, nuts totally fit into the fall merriment.
Since this day is about celebrating all things nuts, it is really possible to go nuts celebrating nuts.
We’re going a little fancy for Nut Day and rejoicing with the more fancier nuts on the spectrum. Like Honey Roasted Cashews and Shelled Pistachios.
Still can’t decide which nut you want to enjoy? There’s always Nassau Candy Salted Mixed Nuts, with its assortment of Brazil nuts, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, and cashews.
October 26 — Pumpkin Day
Pumpkin Spice isn’t the ONLY way to celebrate the king food of fall. Pumpkin Day lets you celebrate both the sweet AND savory side.
For pumpkin purists, there’s crunchy pumpkin seeds in their shell.
While it might not taste like pumpkin, Zachary Mellocreme Pumpkins are totally acceptable to celebrate with — especially with it being so close to Halloween.
October 28 – Chocolate Day
No need to wait for Halloween to start enjoying chocolate.
Since we are in the realm of tricks and treats why not goodies with a surprise center? Like Nassau Candy Milk Chocolate Covered Red Fish or Milk Chocolate Giant Gummy Grizzly Bears.
Or for double the treat, get the party started with Nassau Candy Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Mini Sandwich Cookies. Each chocolate creation features a min sandwich cookie coated in salted caramel and milk chocolate.
October 30 – Candy Corn Day
Consider National Candy Corn Day your Halloween Pregame. The candy’s signature oranges and yellows make it so fitting for fall holiday celebrations.
While the sweet taste of candy corn is great on it’s own, we love the addition of chocolate found in Nassau Candy Milk Chocolate Candy Corn Mix. The mix features a mix of plain and chocolate covered candy corn for an a-MAZE-ing experience.
For an extra twist on a classic, there’s Taffy Town Candy Corn Salt Water Taffy. It offers all that the sweet candy corn flavors we love, with Taffy Town’s signature soft chew. Orange yellow and white stripes help remind us that we’re enjoying candy corn.
Fall is synonymous with food and flavor. Expand your celebrations beyond simply pumpkin spice with October Food holidays.
