It’s that time of year again… fall! With that comes going to pumpkin patches, seeing the leaves change colors, Halloween costumes, but most importantly, the Trader Joe’s fall specials. If you’ve been on the Trader Joe’s side of Tik Tok, you’ve already seen the hauls and now is the time to do your own stock up with delicious fall treats. If you haven’t already, here is the best selection, in no particular order, of snacks this season from TJ’s!
- Petite Pumpkin Spice Cookies
An absolute treat these are! These pumpkin shaped shortbread cookies with pumpkin spice and yogurt coating will have you reaching in the box not once, not twice, but probably more than three times to be honest.
- Pumpkin Spiced Teeny Tiny Pretzels
The flavor combination here is SO GOOD. Pretzels with a yogurt flavored coating and crushed pumpkin spiced pumpkin seeds—these are a sweet and salty mix, but be prepared to buy multiple bags because they are definitely teeny tiny as advertised. And the pumpkin seeds are an absolute stroke of genius!
- Apple Cider Donuts
Once you buy these there’s no going back; an old fashioned cake donut with apple cider and cinnamon-sugar will leave you drooling for just one more every time. You’ll be left wondering who ate all of your donuts, only to realize that one for breakfast, a midday snack, post dinner sweet treat, and a midnight snack attack really adds up. It is possible that these are the true culprit of the freshman fifteen because they are so absolutely delicious. But honestly, buy a box; you won’t regret it.
- Maple Leaf Ice Cream Sandwiches
Warning: If you tell your friends you have these in your freezer, be prepared because they will all be gone mere seconds later and you can only hope you got a bite of one. The maple flavored ice cream sandwiched between maple leaf cookies is genuinely the best version of an ice cream sandwich out there.
- Maple & Sea Salt Kettle Popcorn
This and a Twilight movie marathon (or a Gilmore Girls binge, pick your poison) is absolute heaven. Maple flavored with other natural flavors and a hint of sea salt kettlecorn—once you go in, you won’t be done until you’ve eaten the whole bag. I would recommend using a bowl to make it last longer because this stuff is truly addicting.
A few honorable mentions include:
Fall Leaf Corn Tortilla Chips— Just put them in the cart, trust.
Spiced Chai— What’s more fall than this?
Sugar Cookie Dough Pumpkin Cookies— A cookie and an activity to do with friends!
To be completely honest, you can’t really go wrong with anything you get at TJ’s, but you can go wrong with not going at all. For all the college people out there, they’ve got the best snacks, the best prices, and the BEST fall specials. Have fun Trader Joe’s shopping!
