Update: Click here to read our Pumpkin Spice Milano review
With all the pumpkin spice products that have been introduced over the past few years, I’m surprised these Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin Spice Milano Cookies are new. I thought the Milano would’ve jumped on the pumpkin spice bandwagon long ago. (Spotted by Kelly at Walmart.)

If anyone out there knows… are the cookies pumpkin flavored with chocolate filling, or is the filling pumpkin flavored with the normal cookies?
So what’s the 2014 Pumpkin Product count up to? I’ve lost track!
It turns out that Milano cookies have their own Facebook page. Along with promoting the pumpkin spice ones (without saying which part is pumpkin), it announces that the lemon-chocolate is going away since Pepperidge Farm believes summer is over.
Big Lots needs to stop futzing around with rearranging their grocery shelves, as they’re usually the place that gets out-of-season Milanos and I want to stock up!
I too found the Pumpkin Spice Milano cookies @ Wal-Mart the other day and had to try them out. The pumpkin flavoring is in the middle, just a thin layer there with the chocolate. I was surprised to see a “new pumpkin spice ANYTHING” debut in the summer months versus the vast majority of the pumpkin flavored creations which seem to ALWAYS arrive on the scene perfectly in time to coincide with seasonal changes of Fall. I bought just ONE package- showing much restraint- this is because of the fact of having to occasionally HOARD the “last ones left” of whatever Pumpkin Spice food invention that I innocently “happened upon” one day and tried out- to learn that I had just then apparently found perhaps my FAVORITE “food”- THE ULTIMATE “BEST EVER” treat, or etc.. ONLY to one day return as I ever so contentedly HAD BEEN regularly for however many weeks past.. Happily in the direction to whatever pumpkin spice marvel I had uncovered not so long before then.. Just to soon find myself questioning so MANY things in life that be.. (The great majority of which shared ABSOLUTELY NOTHING slightly in common with the wonders of pumpkin spice..) After first having been quite bewildered as my mind scanned quite rapidly from one unlikely possibility to the next- I would come to my senses if briefly- as I couldn’t then help BUT to wonder… WHY on EARTH the stockers had apparently decided to up and just CHANGE the location of _”x”___ (aka: best stuff ever..) I mean it WAS AFTERALL, just PERFECTLY FINE just EXACTLY where it WAS!! Oh well. Time to do the obvious– hunt it down- not always so simple with fairly new products since usually if YOU’RE the one looking for it- the majority of the employees there well, they have NO IDEA what you’re even TALKING about- MUCH LESS where the heck it IS!! Sadly I can warn of this reality and fact of life. It’s the most I can do and for the good of mankind lest they too experience this on as many occasions as I have, myself… No one ever “warned me..” TOO many TIMES did my OWN “beginning of an END” start out as something just as innocently seeming as THAT. However, before everything would eventually be said and done- before I could accept it in full- I did need SOME form of “closure” before picking up and moving on. The horrific words- that in my mind seem to have been spoken in slow motion- that all in all basically included words such as “temporary”, “promotional,” “limited edition,” “seasonal,”- I could go on but you get the point. Now to help from having to face these occasional realities with that probable look on my face of one I don’t want to imagine- and know that my favorite new whatever literally COULD BE “here today- GONE TOMORROW,” NOW I tend to be more proactive. When I get a sense that the stores and/or the evil amongst the anti Pumpkin Spice government agencies are about to pounce- and unexpectedly “go in for the YANK” from the shelves- I simply beat them all to it. I can and will likely HOARD pumpkin spice edibles aware of their status as endangered species.. And also rather than deal with those pesky withdrawals from having to just STOP COLD TURKEY, this is one means of being able to “wean myself” OFF of whatever absolutely AWESOME thing I had been loving me some of up until then! Soooo, while I guess I COULD SAY these COOKIES are pretty freakin AWESOME- as I am unaware of things such as your demographics and etc. I would say if you are one of the brave, then you should probably try them out. And while one can only hope so much they WOULDN’T be up and one day just GONE and to never be found delicious again, just go in knowing there are never any guarantees with these sorts of things. But as the old adage goes it really is better to have loved and lost.. Than to have not enjoyed just as MANY things Pumpkin Spice as you possibly could! Just my humble and very eccentric point of view! Happy Weekend to all!
