Trader Joe's has blended the smooth, mellow flavor of gouda cheese with the crunchy, earthy flavor of finely chopped walnuts. The versatility of gouda makes this cheese a perfect pairing with both sweet and savory snacks.

Price: $4.99 

A batard is like a baguette, except shorter and plumper — and Trader Joe's new bread offering is enhanced with the sweetness of figs and honey mixed into the dough. The flavor will really pop after being warmed and lightly crisped in an oven.
