Trader Joe's
Red Velvet Cupcakes
Trader Joe's
Speckled Egg Milk Chocolate Bars
Trader Joe's Easter candy collection is honestly so underrated. From chocolates to fruity gummies, you need to grab some basket fillers from your nearest store this year if you haven't yet witnessed the magic. As the season approaches, the first Easter treat to hit shelves are these milk chocolate bars that are topped with pastel egg-shaped chocolate bites. One pack comes with two festive (and very shareable!) bars for a limited time.
Trader Joe's
Carrot Mini Sheet Cake
This item isn't exactly new, but it's coming back to Trader Joe's after a long time, exclusively for spring. This Mini Sheet Cake embraces a classic carrot cake base made with shredded carrots and warm spices, all topped off with a thick layer of cream cheese frosting. It's festive, easy to share, and even easier to snack on until you've sworn off all sweets (temporarily, of course). Find it in Trader Joe's stores starting mid-March for $5.99.
Trader Joe's
Danish Oat Cookies
Trader Joe's shoppers are absolutely loving these new oat-based cookies that recently hit shelves. Two crispy oat cookies encase a layer of chocolate filling for an addictive bite–one that's especially tasty alongside some hot coffee or tea. Find the bag for $3.29 for a limited time.
Trader Joe's
Sliced Double Chocolate Brioche
This "soft, eggy" brioche loaf is laced with tons of chocolate within the dough and the filling for a fully sweet snacking experience. Trader Joe's says it feels dessert-like, but not overly so. We'd definitely use some slices for homemade French toast. Find the limited-time loaf for $5.49 now.
Trader Joe's
Cannelés
Once part of Trader Joe's permanent lineup, cannelés were beloved by devoted shoppers for their ease of preparation and upscale taste. Now, they're back for 2026 with all their French pastry glory. Boasting a chewy and caramelized exterior and soft and custardy interior, each bite comes with delightful notes of vanilla and rum. Ready from frozen, all they require is 10 to 12 minutes in a 350°F oven. These are a must-try for any pastry lover. Find the box in the freezer aisle for a limited time for $5.49.
Trader Joe's
Ranch Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips
Trader Joe's top-rated Takis dupe got an un-spicy makeover recently with ranch seasoning, and shoppers are loving 'em. These rolled tortilla chips are perfectly savory and tangy—ideal for pairing with your favorite TJ's dip. Find the bag for $2.99 in stores now.
Trader Joe's
Cookie Dough Ice Cream Bites
No way. This new Trader Joe's frozen dessert combines cookie dough and ice cream under a thick chocolate coating for an undeniably sweet treat. The bag comes with 12 small bites for $4.79, though you'll definitely want to stock up with more than one if your household tends to rip through any kind of dessert ever.
Trader Joe's
Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Straying away from the sweets, Trader Joe's lineup of new items for March also includes some savory options like these stuffed peppers. Each poblano is filled with white chicken meat, brown rice, cheese, and a creamy cilantro sauce to round things out a bit. Each $6.99 package comes with two peppers for easy sharing.
Trader Joe's
Hot Honey Mustard
Hot honey and mustard is a combo we never thought we'd crave, but here we are. Thanks, Trader Joe's. This new squeezable sauce is perfect for sandwiches, wraps, and hot dogs. You could even add a little bit to homemade salad dressings and marinades for added kick. Find it on shelves now for a mere $1.99.
