A couple of years ago, when the only options for leaving the house were taking a walk or grocery shopping, we all had to find our joy in the mundane. That was when my love for Trader Joe's first began. I've never been a fan of cooking or the activities that precede it, like grocery shopping. But my husband is an excellent cook and his errands became mine during that time.
Something about the vibe Trader Joe's has curated is different. The lights are brighter, the layout is more inviting, the musical selections more uplifting. The customer service is on point. And best of all, the snacks are top tier. They update the roster seasonally, and we're obsessed any time there's a new drop. Check out the new Trader Joe's items we're loving this winter.
Squiggly Knife Cut Noodles
$4.99
from
Trader Joe's
This is not your 10 cent ramen. This noodle packet is making waves on social media for its quick preparation and the fact that you can eat them plain with the included sauce packet or get fancy with additions like a fried egg, cabbage, and your favorite seasonings. They're actually a dupe of the new Momofuku noodles, so if you can't get your hands on those, you should definitely pick up some of these. Quick and delicious. Perfect.
Cheddar Jalapeño Pull Apart Bread
$4.99
from
Trader Joe's
Let's be honest, bread makes everything better. And we absolutely love a cheesy, spicy treat like this one. The pull-apart feature just adds to the enjoyment. If you have heat-loving kids, they'll get a kick out of this.
Cinnamon Bun Inspired Joe Joe's
$3.88
from
Trader Joe's
I'm particular about my cookies. And it's hard for new ones to break into the roster. But a cookie that also tastes like a cinnamon bun must be experienced. We know that cream in the middle is delicious.
Peanut Butter Brookie
$4.49
from
Trader Joe's
The chocolate and peanut butter combo remains undefeated. A chocolate brownie under a layer of peanut butter cookie sounds divine. Both layers are thick and rich and have been receiving rave reviews online.
Mee Krob Thai Rice Noodle Snack
$2.99
from
Trader Joe's
If you love the combination of sweet and savory in your snacks, these Thai Mee Krob noodles might be the perfect addition to your pantry. In addition to the rice noodles, they’re flavored with cashews, syrup, tomato-tamarind paste, garlic, and chili peppers … among other things.
Double Chocolate Wafer Cookies
$3.49
from
Trader Joe's
There's something so satisfying about biting into a wafer. There's the crunch factor, which is important in snacks, but these wafers are not hard. Instead, the thin layers melt in your mouth. These double chocolate cookies have it all, as well as a touch of hazelnut.
Italian Tomato & Red Onion Focaccia
$3.99
from
Trader Joe's
If you want something that feels like pizza, but without all of the heaviness of cheese, this focaccia might work for you. It's lightly seasoned with olive oil and red onions. Because it's so light, you can get creative with the add-ons or leave it alone and serve it as a complement to your entrée.
Brewed Ginger Beer
$3.99
from
Trader Joe's
After all of this snacking, you're going to need something to drink. Keep the party going with this brewed ginger beer, which now comes in convenient cans. This is the same recipe that came in the green glass bottles, and it's yummy!
