Shopping

It may still feel like summer across San Antonio and New Braunfels, but inside H-E-B stores, the season has already changed.

Available now for a limited time, San Antonio-based H-E-B has rolled out hundreds of fall-inspired H-E-B brand products across every department. The seasonal collection was curated around familiar fall flavors and scents, with everything from coffee and breakfast foods to snacks, household products, decorations, pumpkins, football food and Halloween candy making its way onto shelves.

For South Texas families who enjoy the traditions that come with fall, there is plenty to discover long before the weather decides to cooperate.

Pumpkin spice starts the morning

Coffee drinkers can find Café Ole by H-E-B Pumpkin Spice Latte, a rich and creamy fall beverage that can be served hot or over ice.

H-E-B is also offering a medium-roast Café Ole by H-E-B Pumpkin Spice coffee that blends the seasonal flavors of nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon.

Either can be paired with other limited-edition breakfast products, including H-E-B Fully Cooked Maple Breakfast Sausage Rolls, Pumpkin Spice instant oatmeal and Pumpkin Spice waffles.

The fall flavors do not stop at breakfast.

A new H-E-B Creamy Creations Caramel Apple Sherbet combines sour candy pieces with a caramel swirl. The H-E-B Cowboy Cookie mixes pecans, oats and brown butter, while H-E-B Cornbread Stuffing Potato Chips bring the flavors of Thanksgiving stuffing into a crunchy snack.

Seasonal versions of H-E-B baking mixes, cookies, bagels, bread and granola are also part of the collection.

Even four-legged family members have a fall option. Heritage Ranch by H-E-B Baked Dog Snacks are available in pumpkin and apple cinnamon flavors.

H-E-B is bringing fall into the rest of the house, too

The seasonal rollout reaches beyond food.

H-E-B Dish Soap, H-E-B Flavor Favorites candles and H-E-B Texas Tough trash bags are all being offered with warm and inviting fall scents.

For gatherings at home, H-E-B Paper Plates and Destination Holiday wall décor feature fun fall prints.

Pumpkin-print H-E-B storage bags are available in both gallon and quart sizes, giving families another seasonal touch for leftovers, snacks or a festive fall lunch.

And for anyone ready to decorate the front porch, stores are carrying a wide selection of H-E-B Texas Roots pumpkins grown right here in the Lone Star State.

Football season gets a menu of its own

In Texas, fall also means football.

H-E-B is stocking party trays and Meal Simple by H-E-B Tex-Mex Queso with Brisket for game-day gatherings.

For families firing up the grill, the lineup also includes H-E-B Prime 1 Cowboy Burgers and H-E-B Mi Tienda Beef Fajitas.

That gives San Antonio and New Braunfels shoppers options for everything from a quick watch-party spread to a full backyard cookout.

Halloween treats are already hitting shelves

H-E-B says customers can expect more seasonal products throughout the coming months, and its Halloween collection is already arriving.

The Once Upon a Treat by H-E-B Halloween collection adds some playful twists to traditional trick-or-treat candy.

Among the offerings are Dark Chocolate Green Goo Truffles with ghoulish green caramel filling and Jack O'Lantern-shaped Milk Chocolates filled with caramel apple.

The Haunted Candy Corn Maze Snack Mix combines sweet and salty flavors, while the Zombie-licious Gummy Mixincludes gummies shaped like brains, fingers, eyeballs and bones.

Other Halloween treats include chocolate-dipped gummy bears and cotton candy treat packs.

H-E-B is also offering a porch-ready cauldron full of spider gummy treat packs that can only be found at H-E-B.

The seasonal selection extends beyond candy. Destination Holiday Halloween and Día de los Muertos décor are also available in stores.

In November, H-E-B stores will begin transitioning their product offerings again in time to welcome the holiday season.

The retailer says these limited-time H-E-B products change with the seasons, meaning customers can expect new seasonal items throughout the year.
