It’s the season for everything pumpkin spice, and let’s not pretend everybody doesn’t absolutely freak out about this every year (lol!). Now, this article is a little more niche than heading down the street to you local Starbucks for a y’know what. As somebody that just moved to a larger city, this is going to sound crazy, but I couldn’t be more excited to check out Trader Joe’s!
At my home back in Iowa, there was a location but nowhere near where I lived. I remember watching the online content revolving around their plethora of delicious seasonal snacks and thinking—gimme that. This season of fall we are finally bringing everything into existence! Whether you have experience regularly shopping at The Joe’s or not, here are some mouth watering sweets and goodies that you can’t find anywhere else.
Ugh, N Crowd, it’s everything a fall girl could want.
The Foodie Hit List
1. Apple Cider Donuts
This Fall staple is meant to bring that pumpkin patch treat straight to the big city. Located under the “sweet stuff” category, this dessert will not leave you dissatisfied. These donuts are made from a family-owned bakery in Massachusetts and shipped straight to a Trader Joe’s location near you!

2. Apple Pie à la Mode Ice Cream
This product is exactly what it sounds like, apple pie stuffed inside a pint-sized ice cream tin. The ingredients are stacked on top of each other to resemble that perfect combination of hot apple pie and vanilla ice cream. Trader Joe’s writes, “Our supplier starts with a rich and velvety vanilla ice cream as the base, adds in chunks of cooked, sweetened apple and bits of crumbly pie crust, then finishes it with a cinnamon-and-nutmeg spiced apple swirl for good measure.”

3. Sliced Pumpkin Sourdough Bread
Sourdough has really been doing it’s thing, N Crowd! I know many bakeries and even at-home baker’s that are taking on unique sourdough recipes. Now it looks like Trader Joe’s is getting on the bread train. The company’s website describes this product as a sweet combination of pumpkin purée, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.

4. Apple Crisp Milk Chocolate Caramels
These rich chocolates are coming all the way from Ireland! Now, I went on a study abroad in Dublin, and if then Irish are known for anything, it’s their loud hospitality. This treat is meant to depict a streusel-like texture covered by a thin film of smooth chocolate. If you make it this far without dying from deliciousness, the middle is home to apple and cinnamon flavored caramel.

Fall Inspired Body Care
Right when I walked into the Trader Joe’s establishment I swear I could smell the Caramel Creme Body Butter ($6.99) from a mile away. I am still kicking myself for not buying it, because this content creator makes it seem like the butter even has an added glow! This skincare essential also reminds me of their popular summer seasonal product, the Coconut Body Butter ($5.99). Both of these items feature a macadamia nut oil base, which is nutrient dense and widely used in cooking! If this product doesn’t exactly float your boat not to worry! Be sure to check out your locations seasonal hand soap, lip masks, and moisturizing hand cream.
