Festive Fall Treats

Thanksgiving is right around the corner (okay, maybe a few corners) so it’s time to get into the holiday mood! And what better way to get festive than to indulge in some autumn holiday-themed treats on Main Street? So next time you’re trudging down Main Street in the pouring rain (this is Delaware, after all) check out these festive and tasty deals. Trust us, you’ll be in the spirit in no time.

1) If you’ve got a sweet tooth and an unhealthy obsession with Halloween, check out Dunkin’ Donuts’ Boston Scream. We thought it was clever too. It’s a classic inexpensive (under a dollar) treat with a holiday twist – orange sprinkles.


2) Speaking of sugar… Sweet and Sassy Cupcakes is selling Cinnamon Toast cupcakes and Pumpkin cupcakes for those of us who miss homemade or really good store-bought pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. One cupcake is $2.75, but your taste buds will thank you.


3) Home Grown has managed to turn pumpkin into soup. Their creamy blend of pumpkin, cinnamon and brown sugar, sprinkled with spiced pecans, is only $5. Their hearty Candy Cane Beet salad, consisting of greens with spiced pecans, tomatoes, pancetta and red and white striped beets, topped with a lemon honey dressing, will put you in the Christmas spirit really early while costing you $8.


4) Try the Caramel Apple Cider or the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Saxbys Coffee. It may seem like quite a walk to Elkton Road if you live on Chapel, but these hot beverages can help make your rainy day just a little bit sunnier. A medium Pumpkin Latte will cost you $4.05 though (ooph!)


Let us know if you’ve spotted other sweet holiday deals around town worth checking out. While some of these might not be the most wallet-friendly foods, they only come around once a year, so enjoy them while you can. Happy snacking!
