Maple Spiced Nut Mix
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-maple-spiced-nut-mix.jpg)
Price: $6.49
Almonds, pecans, pepitas, and dried cranberries are coated in a sweet maple glaze to tantalize your taste buds. But it's the rosemary and a smidgeon of dried red pepper that add an exotic edge plus a little heat.
It's crunchy, slightly sweet, and tastes like fall in a can. It's the highest-priced snack on our list, but for 8.5 ounces, it's worth a splurge.
Antipasto Stick Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Cheese
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-antipasto-stick-prosciutto-wrapped-mozzarella-cheese.jpg)
Price: $1.99
Sometimes, simple is better, and this antipasto is a classic: mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto. The cheese is creamy, the ham is salty, and the flavors complement each other perfectly.
On the nutritional side, they offer 10 grams of protein, a good dose of calcium, and are free from added nitrates or nitrites. Indulge before a meal or as a snack. Either way, they satisfy.
Hazelnut & Cocoa Filled Crepes
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-hazelnut-cocoa-filled-crepes.jpg)
Price: $3.99
If you love Nutella and street food in France, you'll love these soft crepes filled with hazelnut cocoa spread. They're made by a French family-owned bakery in the U.S. using simple ingredients.
They come individually wrapped, and you can eat them cold or warm them up for a quick snack or dessert.
Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-pumpkin-spice-mini-sheet-cake.jpg)
Price: $5.99
Pumpkin defines the fall season from coast to coast in the U.S. This small cake serves six and is made with honest-to-goodness pumpkin purée and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
It's topped with a rich cream cheese frosting and comes in a resealable container. It's great for sharing, or maybe not.
Mini Spicy Pumpkin Samosas
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-mini-spicy-pumpkin-samosas.jpg)
Price: $4.49
These bite-sized samosas are truly a Trader Joe's invention. They're filled with pumpkin, paneer cheese, and a blend of Indian spices, including garam masala, coriander, cumin, and chile powder.
The pastry is golden and flaky, as it should be, and they're easy to heat up for a fun fall bite between meals, as an appetizer, or as part of a snack board.

Maple Leaf Ice Cream Sandwiches
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-maple-leaf-ice-cream-sandwiches.jpg)
Price: $3.99
Maple syrup and ice cream? Yes, please! These frozen treats feature maple ice cream between two maple leaf-shaped cookies (Hello, Canada!).
Both the cookies and ice cream are made with real maple syrup from, you guessed it, Canada. You can eat them straight from the freezer with no prep, perhaps after enjoying Mini Spicy Pumpkin Samosas.
Pumpkin Cranberry Crisps
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-pumpkin-cranberry-crisps.jpg)
Price: $3.99
These crunchy little crackers are made from pumpkin cranberry bread (really) that's sprinkled with fall herbs and spices like thyme and nutmeg. They're dense and hold up perfectly with cheese or dips as part of a charcuterie board.
Enjoy them alone, if you wish, but whatever you do, give these darlings a try. You might fall in love.
Apple Cider Donuts
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-apple-cider-donuts.jpg)
Price: $4.99
Apple cider donuts are a traditional autumn treat in many parts of the U.S., including Western Massachusetts, where apple orchards rule and a family-owned bakery makes these cake-style donuts.
The secret ingredient? Real apple cider. Each donut is hand-rolled in cinnamon sugar for a sweet, tangy treat that tastes like, well, apple cider.
Red Leicester Cheese
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-red-leicester-cheese.jpg)
Price: $4.99
Leicester (pronounced LESS-ster) cheese tastes like sharp cheddar, but it's richer and slightly sweet, with a nutty undertone. It's recognized by its deep red-orange wax covering, which peels right off easily.
Enjoy it with crackers or crusty bread. It's versatile and melts easily. Try it in a baked potato as it's full of flavor.

Mini Cinnamon Sugar Cookies
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-mini-cinnamon-sugar-cookies.jpg)
Price: $0.99
Cinnamon is the star in these crispy, bite-sized cookies. They're much like any traditional sugar cookie, but topping these golden-brown rounds with cinnamon and coarse sugar transforms them into something very special.
They come in a single-serving bag that's great for lunchboxes or just a quick snack. With a cup of tea or coffee? Heaven.
Jumeokbap
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-jumeokbap.jpg)
Price: $4.99
Jumeokbap is Korean, which translates to "fist rice" because these popular street snacks are shaped by hand. The Trader Joe's version takes a pyramid shape and is filled with seasoned vegetables instead of meat.
Just microwave for about a minute, and enjoy. Try them with a gyoza dipping sauce or TJ's Sriracha or Gochujang Paste for an extra delicious experience.
Rustic Apple Tarte
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-rustic-apple-tarte.jpg)
Price: $5.99
Think homemade apple pie cooling on a ledge outside a wintery farmhouse window. Trim it down, and you have a buttery, flaky crust filled with sweet and tart apples, cream cheese, cinnamon, sugar, and slivered almonds.
Bake it at home for a cozy mid-afternoon snack that smells and tastes like fall. Serve with ice cream, perhaps?
Pumpkin Brioche Twist
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-pumpkin-brioche-twist.jpg)
Price: $4.99
There's nothing like a soft, buttery brioche, but the TJ's version has pumpkin mixed right into the dough. With spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, it announces the change of seasons in the most delectable way. It's fabulous right out of the bag or toasted with cream cheese or butter.
Honey Crisp Apple Cinnamon Greek Yogurt
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-honey-crisp-apple-cinnamon-greek-yogurt.jpg)
Price: $0.99
Ah, yes, even Greek yogurt has taken on a tinge of fall flavor. This whole-milk version is made with bits of Honeycrisp apples and a touch of cinnamon. It's thick, rich, and creamy, with plenty of protein and calcium, and at just 99 cents per serving, it's truly a fall masterpiece.
Kettle Cooked Rosemary & Sea Salt Potato Chips
/images/2025/09/17/5697-trader-joes-kettle-cooked-rosemary-sea-salt-potato-chips.jpg)
Price: $2.99
Who doesn't love chips? These extra-crispy kettle chips are seasoned with rosemary and sea salt for a flavorful snack that's just a little fancy.
The savory, piney, citrusy-salty flavor is exquisite on its own but also pairs well with sandwiches, dips, or even on a cheese board. Might they accompany pumpkin soup or perhaps a chowder?
Bottom line
/images/2025/08/06/a-vibrant-view-of-the-trader-joes-storefront.jpg)
Some stores sell snacks. And while we've used that term here, Trader Joe's sells experiences. It doesn't matter if they're offering European-style cheese, Korean-inspired rice balls, or donuts fried in the heart of American apple orchard country. One of the best Trader Joe's shopping hacks is to try their seasonal delights.
There's always a story behind the flavor, and with these snacks under $7, you can grab what you love and try something new.
By the way, have you ever wondered why the cashiers ring those bells? One bell means "Open another register." Two means "Questions need answering." Three bells? "I need a manager-type person!" No PA system at Trader Joe's. Just good old-fashioned charm.
