The Limited-Edition Sam’s Club Snack That Shoppers Can’t Get Enough Of
For a while, pumpkin season involved picking actual pumpkins, but the famous (or infamous) Starbucks latte turned pumpkin season into a competitive sport, with grocery stores and food chains trying to one-up one another with creativity. (We see you and love you, Trader Joe's.)
These days, pumpkin season starts in mid-August, so it can be hard to stand out in the gourd-flavored crowd. But the folks at Sam's Club are doing their best with a fall-flavored snack that shoppers are loving: Member's Mark Pumpkin Pie Spice White Chocolate Pecans.
The snack is popping up on social media, which is where we all now go to find out what to add to our grocery shopping list. Here's what people are saying.

What shoppers are saying about the Member's Mark Pumpkin Pie Spice White Chocolate Pecans
Commenters on @samsclubsupersavings were excited to give the candy-coated nuts a taste test, too.

Others already had found them and were so happy they did. They've found their go-to fall snack.
"These are so good," said one fan.
Another went out on a limb to declare that the Member's Mark Pumpkin Pie Spice White Chocolate Pecans "are the best."
Reviewers on Sam's Club's website are also raving.
“Gonna need more than one bag," said one.
"These pumpkin spice pecans are absolutely divine," raved another. "Even if you're not typically a fan of pumpkin spice, these treats offer a delightful twist that sets them apart. I wholeheartedly recommend grabbing some to stash away for your next party – your friends will be thoroughly grateful for this delectable surprise."
"The pumpkin spice is very prominent and oh-so-good," said someone else. "I like that the package has a resealable top so you can get a few out, then seal it up and keep them fresh."
One happy snacker on the Sam's Club website summed things up pretty well, calling the pecans "delicious morsels of joy."
However, others say their loved ones' opinions on the Member's Mark Pumpkin Pie Spice White Chocolate were more of a mixed bag.
"These got mixed reviews from the family," one reviewer wrote. "The pumpkin spice flavor was spot on. The pecans were big and of good quality. The overall thought was these were just too sweet. The chocolate coating was thick and stayed on the pecan well. It was just too much — not really a snack item like you would think. Even my boy...didn’t want too many [because of] the sweetness. Whaaaa??!!"
Guess you just have to grab a bag and try it yourself.
