We’ve all been there: ambling along the chip aisle or wandering aimlessly in frozen foods, scanning the medley of sweet and salty snacks. It’s no secret that Trader Joe’s has some of the best snacks around. Whatever you’re in the mood for, Trader Joe’s has something for everyone. Something that will require a lot of willpower to not devour the entire package in one sitting. Something that you’ll have to hide from family members. Something that you always go for when you get a craving. That’s why the snack-friendly Fresh Chalk team has put together this sweet little guide of some favorites that our members keep stashed in their cupboards for when the snack attack strikes.
... moreTrader Joes Herb & Spices Popcorn
"I love popcorn. Love it. And this stuff from Trader Joes is by far my favorite pre-popped popcorn I have ever tried. It's the right amount of oily (which isn't much), flavorful, and salty! I could easily eat a whole bag in one sitting." - Kelsey Lockard
Trader Joes's Mushroom Truffle Flatbread
"Perfect balance between the intense truffle flavor and soft mushroom flavor. I like that it works for lunch or dinner and I typically like to split with someone but I'm sure some people could eat all of it. Also very cheesy, which is always good for pizza!" - Sara Sohnly
Trader Joe's Peppermint Jojos
"These are a huge problem in my house during the holidays. We buy about 7 or 8 boxes and then hide them from the kids. I usually eat the most." - Meredith Fife
Trader Joe's Crunchy Curls
"A yummy lentil and potato snack in a fun curl shape. I could pretty much eat the whole bag by myself." - Julie Joyce
Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Seasoning
"I use this on EVERYTHING!!! In my eggs, on my avocado toast, chicken, all the things. We go through a couple jars a month. It is so good and like it says in the name the Everything Bagel Seasoning can pretty much go with everything." - Victoria Grinde
Treader Joe's Just Mango Slices
"I consider myself to be a dried fruit connoisseur. If you haven't tried these, IT IS A MUST! They have just the right amount of chewiness and satisfies my sweet tooth cravings." - Elisa Lee
Coconut Cashews
"Trader Joe's Coconut Cashews are my go to snack when I want something sweet but filling. They have the perfect balance of sweet and salty. My kids like them so much that I have to hide them in the pantry or they will eat them all in one sitting!" - Molly Pearcy
Trader Joe's Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips
"My family loves these! They’re like a healthier version of Doritos and are very addicting to eat!" - Elissa Tompkins
Trader Joe's Spicy, Smoky Peach Salsa
"Salsa is great for an afternoon or evening snack while making your dinner! I like to mix this with a bit of whipped cream cheese and sometimes go nuts with a dusting of everything but the bagel seasoning. I use it not only with chips and crackers, but also with breakfast items including eggs and tater tots." - Mandi Pacer
Trader Joe's Roasted Gorgonzola Crackers
"These are sooo good but hard to eat one serving. I love the TJ descriptor: 'They put the crack in cracker.' If you haven't yet, get a box and try these." - Carol Mullins
Trader Joe's Giant Peruvian Inca Corn
"This snack is great to have on you when you're hiking." - Dakota Stern
Trader Joe's Cinnamon Schoolbook Cookies
"These cute little cinnamon cookies taste great. We purchase a tub of these for road trips with our kids. When they were little I used the cookies for a fun alphabet game to entertain them during the drive. Now that they are older we use them to practice spelling and reading new words while on the road!" -Molly Pearcy
Trader Joe's Organic Lollipops
"The Trader Joe's Organic Lollipops have several flavors including Watermelon, Pomegranate, Orange, Lemon, and Raspberry. Every flavor is great! These are my go to for road trips and a fun snack for a busy day." - Molly Pearcy
