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.

Since it's a 4-pack, I'll serve one on Thanksgiving, give one to the family next door who just lost their Dad, one to my son and daughter-in-law to take with them when they leave for Turkey (the country, not the dinner lol) and I'll keep the 4th for myself and hubby to enjoy after Thanksgiving.
I will be eating it at Thanksgiving dinner if I win. We always have two Thanksgiving Dinner's one is Sunday and one is On Thanksgiving.
