The Best New Trader Joe’s Finds This Week: Blondies, Cheese, and a Classic Chip Flavor

Trader Joe’s isn’t just a grocery store, it’s a hobby. It’s a lifestyle. And there are many, many, many Instagram accounts out there dedicated to spotting and reporting on the exciting new items at the store. You can’t possibly follow all of them—but we can. After combing through some of our favorites (@traderjoesobessed, @traderjoeslist, @trader_joes_trasure_hunt), here’s what we’re keeping an eye out for at Trader Joe’s this week.

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

I love lemon poppy seed muffins and these seem like they go heavy on the lemon. They’re made with lemon juice and lemon zest and topped with sugar to balance out all that tartness. Plus they look real big. Who doesn’t want a big ol’ muffin?

Coconut Cashew Candy Clusters

Early reviews of this sweet and crunchy snack mix have been pretty darn good. They’re clumps of cashews and coconut bound together with caramel and milk chocolate. So, yeah, I bet they are good. This is a dangerous bag to have within reach. 

Earl Grey Blondie Bars

I cannot wait to try these new bars. They’re made with black tea and topped with crystal sugar. Some folks are saying there isn’t enough actual tea flavor, but I want to try them for myself to find out. 

The “OG” (Old Goat) Aged Goat Cheese

This goat cheese is aged for at least ten months and is only available at Trader Joe’s for the month of April. It’s not some otherworldly new cheese flavor, but it sounds like a damn good addition to my next cheese board. 

BBQ Potato Chips

Yep, basic BBQ potato chips. Trader Joe’s finally has them on the shelves and some folks are saying these are the best BBQ potato chips available—even better than the brand’s beloved Carolina Gold BBQ chips. We’ll just see about that.
