When the leaves begin to change colors, the air becomes crisper, and sweaters and boots are necessary (well, in most places that are not South Florida), the beginning of the fall season can be expected. This shift marks many exciting changes and activities. One of these developments is the revealing of Trader Joe’s new fall line of snacks, baked goods, and drinks. These treats are a staple of the season, bringing the first tastes of cinnamon, pumpkin, and spice to the customers of Trader Joe’s. Here are all of the best items to purchase if you want to truly feel like the leaves are changing and the air is getting crisp around you:
Salted Maple Cold Foam Creamer
This is the perfect topper or cream for both hot and cold coffees this fall season. It is not overly sweet or salty, and has the perfect flavor of maple that does not feel artificial. This cold foam will balance out your coffee while also providing richness.
Price: $4.49
Rustic Apple Tart
This treat can be found in the frozen aisle of Trader Joe’s. With a flaky, buttery crust, sweet and caramelized apples, and a topping of almond streusel, this tart is the perfect sweet treat to end a night. Paired with vanilla ice cream, this tart creates all of the comfy and cozy fall vibes.
Price: $5.99
Pumpkin Brioche Twist
This bread is a classic buttery brioche, but with a few fall additives. With swirls of cinnamon and a very strong taste of pumpkin, it is absolutely delicious. This bread would be amazing toasted or even made into a French toast.
Price: $4.99
Maple Leaf Ice Cream Sandwiches
These ice cream sandwiches have gone viral this year, and for good reason. The sweet maple cookie partnered with the cold and slightly salty ice cream makes a wonderfully balanced bite. This treat is especially perfect for Florida, as it allows for all of the fall flavors while still keeping you cool in the heat.
Price: $3.99
Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
While this may sound like an interesting pairing, this mac and cheese does not disappoint. It is cheesy, gooey, and has hints of sage and thyme. The squash adds the perfect sweetness to this dish and pushes it over the edge in terms of flavor.
Price: $3.79
Pumpkin-Flavored Joe Joe’s
These sandwich cookies are great snacks or even desserts. The cookies were soft, the center was full of pumpkin, and the icing had a mixture of spices that created a fall feeling in every bite.
Price: $4.49
Frosted Pumpkin Toaster Pastries
These flaky, buttery toaster pastries are the perfect sweet fall breakfast. The pumpkin filling was sweet and spicy, but not too overpowering. The icing on top left the perfect sweet aftertaste that made these pastries so delicious.
Price: $2.69
Apple Pie Spread
Trader Joe’s jams and spreads never disappoint, and this one was no different. While this spread is extremely sweet, it has a very nice balance of apples and cinnamon that would make a very versatile topping. It would be a very nice addition to taste, or even pancakes and waffles.
Price: $3.99
While these are just some of the best fall items from Trader Joe’s, there are lots more lining their shelves. Be sure to go give all of their new spiced and comforting treats a try to get you into the feeling of fall.
