The Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites I Can’t Get Enough Of (They’re So Good!)

The foods and flavors that come out in the fall are some of my favorites of the year. When pumpkin spice season arrives, I can feel the cozy cooler months right around the corner. Fortunately, I don’t have to wait until it gets cold out to enjoy tasty autumn-themed snacks. The only catch is that many of them won’t be around for long, so if you miss out, you’ll have to wait a whole year (if they return at all!). One way to ensure you enjoy these fall finds is to get them early and stock up. Why? First, so you won’t have to keep buying them over and over again. Second, so you can share. Chances are, if you love it enough, you’re going to want to share it with someone. That’s what makes my new favorite fall snack, Carnegie Deli’s Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Bites, so great! In fact, they’re so good that I’ve been handing them out like candy to just about everyone who’s stopped by for a visit.

You don’t have to be in New York to get a taste of one of the city’s staples, Carnegie Deli. The celeb-loved spot offers its beloved pastrami and corned beef bundles, New York hot dogs, sandwich kits, and desserts online — including bestselling cookies and cheesecake bites. While the deli has a variety of flavors available, the Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Bites were launched just in time to get you through the fall season.

New York-style cheesecake is given a pumpkin spice twist in these bite-size, poppable desserts that are coated all over in white chocolate. This limited-edition treat comes in 10-piece bags that are stored in the freezer to keep them in top form. “These little bites pack mighty flavor that tastes and feels like a warm, comforting, fall Thanksgiving hug,” says one review. “White chocolate exterior coating pairs well with the internal yumminess.” The bites can easily be ordered online as an eight-pack, which means you’ll have 80 delicious bites to enjoy.

When it comes to pretty much anything that’s pumpkin spice flavored, I can be very picky. Without a doubt, I err on the side of cold treats over hot beverages, and the Carnegie Deli Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Bites do not disappoint. Although the bags are kept stored in the freezer, they don’t take long to soften at room temperature. You can also eat them frozen, but I’ve found that the flavor stands out more when you allow them to thaw out a bit. The white chocolate coating has a nice thickness that gives the bites a little sweet crunch before the pumpkin spice hits and balances it out. I love the flavor of these cheesecake bites: It’s not overpowering, yet it still has that cozy kick of cinnamon and nutmeg that makes pumpkin spice so notable. I also love that the bags are resealable, because my favorite way to enjoy them is two at a time after a long day of work. They make the perfect wind-down treat for my evenings.

Because I received multiple bags of the cheesecake bites, I split them with my mom and aunt and got phone calls the same day about how much they loved them! My mom even ate one of her two bags within a day or two of receiving them, and promised she would pace herself on the next one (time will tell). If you’re a pumpkin spice fan who’s looking for a new snack for the fall season, Carnegie Deli’s cheesecake bites are ones you don’t want to miss, whether you’re keeping them all to yourself, sharing them with loved ones, or serving them at a party. Just don’t wait too long to grab yours, because they’re only available for a limited time!
