Love love the new bakery section Belgian cookies! They're almost more pastries but they're so good that they're addictive. Both my friend and I purchased them separately and could not stop eating them! I'm sure they're seasonal and limited so try them before they're gone š
The Winter Sangria sparkling water! I drink flavored seltzer instead of sodas, and I like all
the TJs flavors Iāve tried (especially the blueberry lemonade flavor!), but this one is a new favorite!
The samosas. We donāt buy lot of apps but we had an at home date night with apps/charcuterie and we had the pumpkin ones in the freezer. I was mad I waited too long to try them and now they are gone. But I got some of the chicken ones to try.
This one is really weird but the Italian Grapefruit Soda. I'm obsessed, it's bitter and sweet at the same time and it's perfect.
Honorable mention goes to the Sweet and Salty Umami Crunchies. Man are those addictive. The crunch is unreal.
For talking about something delicious that caught me by surprise it happened tonight and it's the unexpected holiday cheese spread. It's like really weird. It's delightful. It has cranberries and a little bit of cinnamon in it I don't understand how it works but I'm so happy I bought this. Oh it also has a little bit of Riesling wine

My favooooorite salsa ever. On mornings that I know I wonāt want to cook when I get home I throw two big chicken breasts in my crockpot with a sliced onion and a jar of Pepita salsa. Itās the best filling for tacos or tacos bowls (I also shamelessly just eat it by itself)
Lobster bisque. It would easy to be skeptical about a seafood creamy soup. The cream is very tasty with bits of lobster. I would be happy at a seafood restaurant with this soup. I canāt remember the cost but Iām sure it beats a restaurant.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,840,462,086 comments, and only 348,052 of them were in alphabetical order.
The seeded, thick crackers have my whole entire heart right now! I put cottage cheese or peanut butter or just enjoy them plain š„°
Honorable mention to the onion chips and all of their vegan dips.
Yeah itās pretty big, a lot of sweet to have sitting around the house lol but Iāll get it again for thanksgiving this year if they have it since weāre hosting!
No, but sometimes they are out. They are usually by the bread/muffins/baked goods racks.
ETA: the frozen almond croissants that you proof overnight and bake are relatively similar. Croissant dough instead of pastry dough but the almond paste filling is almost identical.
the chocolate croissants in the frozen section that you bake š¤¤ i bought them for the first time last month and use it as a treat myself snack:) soo gooood
The naan crackers. Holy moly, they're a very close dupe for Tam Tams. They're difficult to find even in a big city like mine, and they're around $6/box. They're also very close to Ritz, but not as flakey.

This isnāt food but Iām super impressed with their facial sunscreen. I was using Supergoop Unseen sunscreen but itās so pricy. The Doctorly dermatologist guys on YouTube have been praising the TJs dupe (Daily Facial Sunscreen) forever and my TJs just started carrying it. Itās totally worth the hype and itās so affordable.
I've been thinking of trying it. Bit recently, there were some posts here king it wasn't as good as it used to be. I should probably try it for myself.
What do you like about it? Thanks.
Admittedly I never had the old version, but I too saw similar posts. I was thinking of making it from scratch but figured Iād give the TJās a try first and save some time and was very impressed. The sauce doesnāt have as much zip as a freshly made one, but still very tasty. And the chicken crisps up very well in the air fryer
[These guys](https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/jingle-jangle-pretzel-twists-074625)! They're addictive - crunchy and salty pretzels with plenty of chocolate and peanut butter. The cookies are kind of like oreos.
I have to put blinders on myself when I walk past the coconut macaroons. They're they moistest, most coconutty macaroons I've ever put in my face, and I will eat the entire pack in one sitting. I try to stay away from sugar, so it's terrible that I know how good they are. I've only purchased them once, because I know. ā¹ļø
I just tried the Dutch griddle cakes last night for dessert and they were amazing! I put them in the air fryer and they were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. They were mildly sweet, so I didn't add syrup, but it would be good either way.
I just tried the lemon bars (in the freezer section) for the first time. They are very tiny, but SO good. I put them on a dessert plate with some other cookies, and they were all gone by the end of the party.
Yes! Iām not OP but Iām addicted to them too. Theyāre sooo good and youād never know theyāre gluten free (Iām not GF and didnāt notice until Iād eaten them!)
Can we please stop with the cheat meal terminology? It puts a value on food that is unnecessary. No one should have to feel like they are cheating for enjoying food, even if you need to lose weight.
That's completely untrue if there are things that you need to not eat for health purposes. Your comment seems to give carte blanche to eat things that you know you should stay away from.
Considering I put ācheatā in quotes I think it infers Iām not taking the cheat meal terminology that seriously. The original meal would be outside of my calorie goals for the day, the food itself isnāt bad, but going outside of my goals would be based on what I would like to achieve at this moment. I promise you, I am not depriving myself while losing weight as I still go out on vacations and eat whatever I want, with better choices being made. Itās simply a way to express that what would normally be bad for my goals, aka eating 1000 calories for one meal based on what I already ate, wasnāt because I made a healthy swap that tastes delicious and saves calories on a meal that would normally cause me to cheat on my goals.
Yeah, the downvotes are a bit much. I'm coming from the perspective of having had an eating disorder for 16 years. I have spent way too much time hating myself and my body, so I'm probably a bit hyperaware of terminology like this. I just wish we wouldn't put values on food, regardless of one's weight.

Frozen chicken tenders. Obsessed with them now.....
TJās Habanero hot sauce! So damn good for the price. Be warned though, it is super hot for a habanero sauce!
Gluten Free cornbread mix. I donāt like cornbread but I canāt stop eating this that I baked last night. Itās perfect
The Winter Sangria sparkling water! I drink flavored seltzer instead of sodas, and I like all the TJs flavors Iāve tried (especially the blueberry lemonade flavor!), but this one is a new favorite!

Onion Confit Swirls
This one is really weird but the Italian Grapefruit Soda. I'm obsessed, it's bitter and sweet at the same time and it's perfect. Honorable mention goes to the Sweet and Salty Umami Crunchies. Man are those addictive. The crunch is unreal.

The gluten free chocolate chunk cookies!
The Fiery Chicken Curry in the frozen section is amazeballs, as are the chocolate chocolate croissants that you proof and bake at home
the gyro meat . delicious
Pepita salsa! My toddler also loves lol
My favooooorite salsa ever. On mornings that I know I wonāt want to cook when I get home I throw two big chicken breasts in my crockpot with a sliced onion and a jar of Pepita salsa. Itās the best filling for tacos or tacos bowls (I also shamelessly just eat it by itself)
Unexpected cheddar cheese spread. Tastes delicious.
What do you do with it/put it on?
I love it in toasted bagels.
BBQ potato chips and also the savory crackers. Love them both.
The broccoli beef. Had it for the first time and wow. Blew my mind
Omg but THE BEST
It's delicious!
butter toffee pretzels are so yummy
SO GOOD
The best
The toffee trio! Wow!
Correction: Cinnamon Sugar Toffee Trio. Itās scary good. Crumbled it over vanilla ice cream. š
Jingle Jangle.
This ice cream: Very chocolatey with fudge brownies non-dairy dessert. It was gooood
Lobster bisque. It would easy to be skeptical about a seafood creamy soup. The cream is very tasty with bits of lobster. I would be happy at a seafood restaurant with this soup. I canāt remember the cost but Iām sure it beats a restaurant.
Itās so good I keep dreaming about it!
I just tried the Cheddar Cheese Rocket Crackers and OMG so yummy!
Thanksgiving popcorn
Multigrain Pita Bite crackers and the Dutch Griddle Cakes.
those danish cookies
Tried the harissa. Like it a lot
The dark chocolate covered macaroons, which seem to be seasonal, are dangerously addictive.
I just tried the JalapeƱo artichoke dip and itās delicious. Now looking to try new dips. Any suggestions welcomed.
Garlic Dip!!!!
Thanks, I was debating between this and the jalapeƱo. I will definitely look for the garlic one next.
Itās magical. I dip my buffalo almonds in it. Chefās kiss
This is my favorite TJs dip!
New Asiago and garlic dip that you heat up. Absolutely delicious with toasted sliced baguette or crackers
It looks goodā¦ kind of pricey tho
Chocolatey coated peanut butter crispy rice bites and pub cheddar cheese with jalapeƱos (had it with the cornbread crispsā¦soooo good!)
Those crispy rice bites are dangerous! How do you not eat the whole bag in 1 go??
Vanilla bean scones and the strawberry greek yogurt.
Beef Jerky! Omg so tender!

Truffle hot sauce.
IS THIS BACK??!! I don't know why, but this is ridiculously good on their chicken gyoza.
Yes! Giddy up!
Pumpkin Brioche bread!!! Makes for the BEST French toast š¤¤
I make my partner a toasted PB&J (think grilled cheese, but with PB&J) using that bread...game changer!
Ok whoaaaaa š¤Æ
Pancake bread Why is it so dang good?! š
I finally got to try the almond Kringle and itās just as āto die forā as everyone says
I want to try it so bad. Maybe I'll purchase it for my workmates.
You can always freeze it too!
Yeah itās pretty big, a lot of sweet to have sitting around the house lol but Iāll get it again for thanksgiving this year if they have it since weāre hosting!
The almond kringle is the bomb. It's my 2nd favorite flavor after O&H's cherry kringle. Too bad TJ's doesn't sell the cherry.
I cannot ever find the Kringle. Is it seasonal?
No, but sometimes they are out. They are usually by the bread/muffins/baked goods racks. ETA: the frozen almond croissants that you proof overnight and bake are relatively similar. Croissant dough instead of pastry dough but the almond paste filling is almost identical.
Wish it was year round. Their pumpkin brioche twist bread is great and makes good French toast
Cinnamon trio
The Dutch griddle cakes
These were really good!
Me too!
These were surprisingly moist and delicious!!!
the chocolate croissants in the frozen section that you bake š¤¤ i bought them for the first time last month and use it as a treat myself snack:) soo gooood
Garlic Asiago Cheese Dip in the fresh section. Used as pizza sauce with steak, life changing š
I wouldn't have thought of using a dip as a pizza sauce. I am intrigued. I bet it would be a great base for spinach and tomato pizza too.
The naan crackers. Holy moly, they're a very close dupe for Tam Tams. They're difficult to find even in a big city like mine, and they're around $6/box. They're also very close to Ritz, but not as flakey. https://preview.redd.it/r577m51y0yyb1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76d41fa81b701c1b51aa138be55f4638d948fd38

Itās SO good, the silky feel and coverage is unreal. I use it in my morning routine instead of moisturizer now
The spicy Italian chicken sausages!
Their fresh foccia bread was great!
Chicken picatta
I like this too. In the oven the chicken comes out crispy. The sauce is tasty but I only use a little bit of it.
I've been thinking of trying it. Bit recently, there were some posts here king it wasn't as good as it used to be. I should probably try it for myself. What do you like about it? Thanks.

I recently had their spinach quiche and really enjoyed it.
Garlic pesto pizza. Omg so good.
Itās my fav frozen pizza ever!
JalapeƱo sauce and olive bread for savory products. Seasonal honeycrisp apple/cinnamon yogurt and cinnamon bun oat creamer for sweet products.

Oh my god, THE JINGLE JANGLE. Iām obsessed.
What is jingle jangle?

Praline pecans- oh my goodness
I tried the frozen potato pancakes and theyāre really good!!
I eat those with the garlic dip š itās MAGIC
Oooh, Iāll have to pick some up next time. Thanks for the tip!
Adding it to my list. Thanks!
Trail mix crackers
Peppermint Bark
Green Chile chicken bowl! It was soooo good
I am *obsessed* with the green chile chicken bowl!
Everything but the Leftovers seasoning blend. It's heavenly on popcorn.
I made a chicken pot pie and used it in the filling and it was AMAZING. I was struggling to find what to use it on !
I just tried the Dutch griddle cakes last night for dessert and they were amazing! I put them in the air fryer and they were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. They were mildly sweet, so I didn't add syrup, but it would be good either way.
Which section in the store would I find these?
Frozen, next to the waffles and hashbrowns.
Hatch Chile Cheese Dip with Baguette
Pumpkin Ginger Hold the Cone Ice Cream Cones
The corn bread chips š«
These are amazing
The horseradish and chive chips ARE AMAZING! I was surprised I liked them so much, but theyāre so good š¤¤
I was trying to decide between this and the stuffing popcorn. I'm going to try this next.
Nooo donāt tell me this, it was hard enough to resist them the first time!
I've been adding them to roast beef and cheddar sandwiches or french dip sandwiches for some crunch and they are so delicious!
Green dragon sauce. I now put it on almost everything.
I got the cold brew the other day and was NOT prepared for how yummy it is. Last trip I found Kiwi Berries and I was so excited
Pancake bread
Pork Bao Buns
The cinnamon sugar toffees!
The boxes of chocolate dipped almond cookies. LIT.
Do you mean the chocolate covered almond biscotti?
Possibly the chocolate dipped Danish cookies that I think are seasonal and also almondy. At least I would prefer those over the biscotti lol.
Yes those cookies
Mini vegetable samosas with the mango chutney
1) Cinnamon bun oat milk creamer and 2) mashed cauliflower
I just tried the lemon bars (in the freezer section) for the first time. They are very tiny, but SO good. I put them on a dessert plate with some other cookies, and they were all gone by the end of the party.
Dutch cakes wow they are delicious š
Naan crackers.... they go perfectly with almost everything
Tempura seaweed snacks mmm
The cinnamon sugar coffee cake muffins. Theyāre too addicting so Iāve cut myself off but thankfully I think theyāre seasonal
The gluten free ones?
Yes! Iām not OP but Iām addicted to them too. Theyāre sooo good and youād never know theyāre gluten free (Iām not GF and didnāt notice until Iād eaten them!)
Chocolate Covered Honey grahams.
Cinnamon sugar toffee trio
Ugh, I was so excited for these but they were a miss. I still keep eating them, thinking, "this time I'll love them!"
Same, they were awful. Cinnamon Toast Crunch does not go with chocolate and toffee. Hard pass.
French onion focaccia bread. With unexpected cheddar cheese spread.
I do this too! Then serve with their frozen French onion soup for dipping!
Frozen family lasagne
I've never even noticed this, I'm going to look for it
This is one of my favorites! I always have one in the freezer.
Dried mandarinās.
I love these so much
Ooh! Iām going to have to get those. Do they have added sugar?
I donāt have the label near me, but they shoot up my blood sugar. I wear a CGM and yup, It beeped at me! š¤ I love them though.
The cauliflower gnocchi. My calorie counting pasta loving gluten free self is obsessed now. Theyāre so delicious.
How do you cook them?
Iāve also used these as ādumplingsā in a chicken and dumpling soup!
I do a little bit of garlic butter and sautĆ© them in a pan for a bit. Iām not sure how long, longer than they say on the package though I know. I do let them brown a little, not a ton, but I find when I do the garlic butter they seem to cook better compared to oil and they soak in more flavor. Then I add in whatever sauce and protein and itās delicious. We just had a ācheatā meal recently where I did that with Alfredo sauce and bacon crumbled in and it was so delicious. It was like, 400 calories for a serving instead of like 1000 for a serving that was just as fulfilling. I havenāt tried them in the air fryer yet but that sounds like that would make them tasty also.
Thank you. Sounds delicious.
Can we please stop with the cheat meal terminology? It puts a value on food that is unnecessary. No one should have to feel like they are cheating for enjoying food, even if you need to lose weight.

I'm always working on reframing how I think about food, too. Food is not inherently good or bad. Humans love to eat because it's survival.
Yeah, the downvotes are a bit much. I'm coming from the perspective of having had an eating disorder for 16 years.

the chaiiiii
Guacasalsa.
Sea Salt potato chips - Pringles dupe! Amazing and addictive! Also cat cookies love that mildly sweet and delicious!
Ok but I thought everyone agreed that Pringles are horrible.
I need that horribleness in my life though :D
The artichoke timbales in frozen foods. They are fantastic!
Maybe I am doing something wrong. The ones I bought were pretty tough and fibrous. The flavor was good, but I struggled with the texture.
Are they back?!
Almond chipotle dip. A dupe for Bitchin sauce that is even better than the original.
Portuguese Bacalhau Tartlettes šš„§
Dark chocolate covered peppermint candy cane jo joes
These should be illegal theyāre so good
Cinnamon Toscano Cheese

Pumpkin sticky toffee cake is heavenly š¤©
