Do they have other flavors of the Kringle?! I'm not a big pumpkin fan.

I think this is a specialty bakery item-have not seen this product or vendor before this weekend. If not for the sample, we would not have given it a look. The kringle is packaged like a pizza pie in a white paper sleeve. It's not overly pumpkin at all--more caramel. And it can be frozen/reheated in oven. Going back to get another for the freezer.

Chi-town Girl - Are the biscotti in a tub or in a paper bag like the Almond chocolate ones?

I somehow missed them...

TIA.

The pumpkin biscotti is in a plastic tub. They had them stacked next to pumpkin butter as one of the end caps.

Thanks...I think I'll go after the Red Sox/Yankees game is over.

For those interested in the kringle--O&H Danish Bakery also sells via mail order. Go to the website (ohdanishbakery dotcom) and you can also request a catalog. Yum!!!

Pumpkin Caramel Kringle (S001)

Pumpkin Caramel Kringle

**********************************************************

There is nothing quite as comforting as a slice of delicious Kringle and a cup of hot coffee.”

This is what our family believes and this is why we love to bake. Since 1949 the Olesen Family has been faithfully committed to baking quality Kringle and other Danish pastries. We provide you with Kringle that is light, tender, flakey, moist, and quality ingredients. We strive to provide you with outstanding service that comes from our family’s values and integrity (more photos).

It was in the early 1900’s when Christian Olesen, immigrated to Racine, Wisconsin as a boy from Denmark and brought with him a desire to learn a trade and an entrepreneurial spirit. In May of 1949 Christian Olesen partnered with Harvey Holtz and founded O&H Bakery.

My sister was at her local store and saw them putting out the kringle and asked about it. The manager told her the store gets ten overnighted each day and they sell out quick.

It's nice that TJ's sources specialty vendors that are award winning and excellent quality. Always something new to try. Love how they offer samples for individual products, but occasionally as suggested mini meal samples like they did today. The price for the kringle at TJ's is 6.99. Hope they offer other flavors- not just a quick seasonal hit.

$6.99 is an EXCELLENT price for a kringle.

We have a local Swedish bakery and they are a lot more expensive - more like $12.

We love TJ's for many reasons, including price. The online price for the kringle direct from the bakery is 15.99.

Thx! These sound great for the Thanksgiving dessert tray & hostess gifts. Adding to our purchase list.
