MARYLAND — McCormick announced the launch of Old Bay Caramel Seasoning on Tuesday. The new spice comes just in time for autumn, as the fall craze is already under way in Maryland.

"Move over pumpkin spice," McCormick representative Cierra Colón said in a press release. "This blend is the perfect seasoning to have as we make the transition from summer to fall. Sprinkle it on chicken, stir it into dips, or make your own OLD BAY Caramel apple cider."

McCormick said it was inspired to create its latest spice when foodies started sprinkling Old Bay on caramel popcorn and ice cream. The seasoning also pairs with pork, shrimp, pizza, sweet potato fries and salad dressings.
