PSL mania, which strikes every year after Labour Day, has completely outgrown the limits of the Starbucks venti cup. Pumpkin-spice flavoured foods are all over shelves across North America and range from the wild and crazy — pumpkin-spice cough drops and spice spray (U.S.-only, but never fear, you can order online) — to more mainstream options, like pumpkin-spiced Pillsbury cinnamon rolls.
Canadian brands have been hopping on the pumpkin-spice trend, too, and the options embrace the delicious combination of spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and cloves) that are the backbone of this long-lasting trend. Here, 14 great ways to bring take the PS from your latte into your whole day.
