iStockGone are the days of barbecues and afternoons at the beach. The weather's finally turning ever so noticeably crisper—and those baristas behind the counter are whipping up batches of the pumpkin spice lattes that we as a nation have gone pretty much cray-cray over.
Is there anything more comforting than toting that green-logoed cup of cozy around town this season? Well yeah, there is. In fact, we came up with a list of 10 essential fall foods and drinks that will send you seeking the nearest afghan and snuggle fest—stat.
What else made the list? Well, candy apples, natch. (And with the ratio of fruit to candy being so high in the equation, we can almost convince ourselves it's a health food!) And another quintessential fall sweet treat: candy corn.
And because of a weird quirk of the calendar that will see Thanksgiving overlap with Hanukkah this year, we added a little holiday hybrid surprise for your nomming pleasure this season. (Click through to see what it is!)
Now pass us a few Hugh Grant DVDs and Pinterest DIY projects and leave us to our sofa. You know where to find us.
