Jewel of the Lion is a lovely little Etsy shop that features everything from edibles to jewelry.  One of NerdLike’s favorite items is their ‘Aunt Helen’s Pumpkin Bread‘.  We love the idea of getting delicious goodies by mail, especially during the stressful holiday time.  The loaves can be purchased in either a two pack or a four pack and if you don’t believe in gifting food…do what I plan on doing.  Spend $25 bucks on a few loaves and take one to every Holiday Dinner you attend.  Stress free, and delicious.
We were lucky enough to receive a four pack of Aunt Helen’s Pumpkin Bread earlier in the week, and I would be lying if I told you that there was still some left.¬† I ate an entire loaf…by myself…in one day.¬† I was anticipating the taste to be somewhere between my own aunt’s pumpkin bread and the little muffins that Starbucks provides; I was wrong LOL.¬† The first surprise was the packaging, which easily could have been gifted right out of the box.
The loaves were packaged inside of an airtight ziplock as well as foil wrapped for freshness.¬†¬† Inside each of those packages are two loaves, both measuring about 8 inches in length.¬† While the loaves are small in size, they pack a big punch.¬† Each one is dense yet soft, all the way from the crust to the very middle.¬† The crust is actually sweet as well, unlike a lot of the Pumpkin Bread’s I’ve tasted, which have a bitter outside.
Another great thing about this bread is that it is ‘just sweet enough.’¬† I sliced a bit for breakfast, and ate it with some toasted granola, and then later on in the evening I heated it up in the microwave and then topped it with a dollop of ice cream [similar to a brownie].¬†¬† In fact, the texture could be compared to a well baked brownie, it is cohesive, chewy and dense all at the same time.

Honestly, one of them would be all for me, since I'm a pumpkin addict. The rest I (might )share with all the family that seem to drop by around Thanksgiving.

I will be keeping it.
It would definitely be something I'd share around the holiday table. We have so many family gatherings, and it would be wonderful to have a pre-made item to take to at least one of the gatherings. And delicious pumpkin bread would be a hit!!

My grandchildren and I would be eating it for breakfast.
THE ONLY PUMPKIN BREAD I EVER KNEW OF WAS A SWEET
My daughter's CCD teacher, my son's boy scout leader, my son's teacher, and one for the family.
I'd take it to my daughter's to go with Thanksgiving Day dinner! Thanks.
I would eat at LEAST one all by myself hiding somewhere, I'd give one to my daughter to take back to college to munch on since she loves pumpkin bread, I'd give one to my aunt I'll be seeing, and I "might" share the 4th with my husband. Thanks so much!!
