These Are The 3 Trader Joe’s Treats To Grab ASAP For Stocking Stuffers

Each year, the inevitable rush to pick up stocking stuffers will always take us by surprise. Even with perfect planning in regards to actual Christmas and holiday gifts, for some reason the forethought to buy gifts for stockings with the same degree of preparation always manages to slip our minds. Luckily, some of the very best stocking stuffers that we can think of are edible anyhow. No one’s going to open up their stockings on Christmas morning and be sad to see their favorite treats waiting for them — and Trader Joe’s is here to help.

Whether you are trying to stock pile stocking stuffers now in order to prepare for the Christmas Eve panic or just want to get a better idea of what is out there in terms of affordable, high-quality edible stocking stuffers that are sure to go down a hit, Trader Joe’s is practically designed for this task. So, these are the three Trader Joe’s products we think would make exceptional stocking stuffers.

Baci

For anyone who may be unaware, Baci is an Italian chocolate-hazelnut candy that makes Ferrero Rocher look like child’s play. The flavor and quality of Baci are far more elevated than Ferrero Rocher are, but you still get that delicious, creamy yet crunchy chocolate-hazelnut combination that is undeniably addicting. Similarly to Ferrero Rocher, Baci are wrapped in a metallic foil, but the wrappings are silver in the case of Baci with beautiful, rich blue writing.

Where Ferrero Rocher are a year-round candy, Baci are pretty hard to come by here in the United States… except for at Christmas time at Trader Joe’s. I’m not sure why Trader Joe’s stocks Baci during the holiday season, but these have long been one of my favorite European candies so we certainly aren’t complaining. Plus, something about unwrapping the blue and silver foil to reveal a positive affirmation and delightful chocolate-hazelnut candy alike feels deeply celebratory and festive.

Scandinavian Tidings

For anyone in your life who doesn’t love chocolate and prefers for their sweet treats to take a fruity or gummy form, rest assured that there’s still a perfectly themed holiday treat for them at Trader Joe’s, too. And, considering the cult-like following that the Scandinavian Swimmers at Trader Joe’s have acquired over the years, these are pretty much a hard-and-fast bet on stocking stuffer success.

The gummies themselves have that chewy yet soft texture that we all fell in love with in Swedish Fish, and the shape and color variety not only expands on that satisfying texture, but also feels distinctly festive with its mix of gold stars, red ornaments, and green trees.

Dark Chocolate Orange

There’s simply no way we could’ve finished this list without including the Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Orange. For those of us here in the United States, access to a good ‘ol Terry’s Chocolate Orange is far less guaranteed than access to a Trader Joe’s. But, the desire for that delightful combination of chocolate and orange during the holiday season is no less apparent.

Luckily, Trader Joe’s is making it so that we don’t have any FOMO towards our friends over in the UK, since they’re once again bringing back their French-made Dark Chocolate Oranges that look and perform exactly the same as a Terry’s. The 20 break-apart segments come together to form one whole orange so that it’s not only perfectly giftable, but shareable throughout all of the Christmas festivities as well.
