It’s not officially the fall until Trader Joe’s drops it’s fall line of products, right?! All things pumpkin spice, maple, apple cider, butternut squash and a bunch more autumnal flavors.
I’ve tried a handful over the years and this year grabbed a bunch more to try and am sharing below the hits and misses!
Trader Joe’s Fall Hits
Maple Sea Salt Kettle Corn
FAVORITE. LOVE IT. OBSESSED.
Have purchased and finished 3 bags this season. DON’T miss this one!
Maple Butter
Wow is this good. Literally is just maple syrup whipped up until it becomes a spread, so if you like maple syrup it’s safe to assume you’ll like this too. DELISH.
Apple Cider Fruit Spread
I never feel like this spread gets the hype it deserves, but it’s so good! Really strong apple cider flavor without being over the top. Delicious on toast or literally by the spoonful. Also comes in a cute jar you can reuse!
Pumpkin Ice Cream
This might be an obvious statement, but if you don’t really like pumpkin flavor you will not like this. The pumpkin flavor is STRONG in this ice cream. It’s really delicious and thick, kind of custard like. Very rich!
I personally feel like it needs something along side it, so I’ve been serving it with chocolate chips and hiiiiighly recommend that combo.
Maple Oat Milk
Really really enjoyed this one. Delicious flavor and amazing for lattes!
My one (big) complaint though is that there was quite a bit of sediment at the bottom of my cup which made me cough every single time. Wouldn’t be an issue if you used it in foods rather than drinks (I’m guessing), but that was rather annoying.
Apple Cider Soap
Very strongly scented, but I love anything apple cider this time of year! But the scent does last a while so if you’re not a fan of that you might not like this.
Pumpkin Body Butter
LOVE love love this stuff. Although I find it smells much more like apple than pumpkin?! Doesn’t bother me though! Super thick and moisturizing. Cruelty free. Long lasting. BOMB.
Protein Maple Muffin
TBH, I haven’t heard many good reviews of this muffin, but I enjoyed it! Kept me full, tasted really good, and had good maple flavor that didn’t taste artificial. I served this with a spoonful of cashew butter, so good!
Trader Joe’s Fall Misses
Pumpkin Ginger Hold The Cones
This one was the biggest miss for both me and Scott. They are a fan favorite but were way too sweet for us. Definitely won’t be grabbing these again! If you’re a fan of white chocolate and pumpkin though, you might be a fan of these!
Fall Candles
These weren’t a total miss at all, but they are just okay. Good price point and smell good! But the vanilla pumpkin wasn’t as strong as I wanted, and the apple, although good, felt like it needed another smell blended with it like cinnamon or something along those lines.
Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
Another not total miss, but personally didn’t feel it lived up to the hype. Wasn’t bad! But didn’t knock my socks off like I was expecting it to from how much this frozen item gets hyped up.
There are plenty more items around for the fall that I haven’t tried yet, but they might already be gone! Seems like the fall items drop real early and are gone just as early!
I reallllly want to try the pumpkin brioche bread and maple streusel bread, maybe I’ll be able to get my hands on it before these limited edition items are gone!
Which are your trader joe’s fall faves?! Did I miss any must-haves? Share below!
