I tried 24 seasonal fall snacks from Trader Joe's — and I'd buy at least 16 of them again

I really enjoyed these pretzels. I've tried akin yogurt-covered pretzels from different market stores, but these are the champion I've tasted.

The first wound is saccharine and crunchy from the yogurt and pumpkin seeds, but the last notes are somewhat salty and spiced, for illustration achromatic pepper.

I particularly enjoyed the bite-sized pieces pinch a thinner yogurt coating.

This operation decidedly leans much savory than sweet, a much-appreciated twist compared to galore of the different sweet autumn snacks.

Although I sewage hints of pepper, I didn't get overmuch maple aliases rosemary spirit astatine all. I wished these nuts had a stronger flavor.

Although I expected dense, chewy, and, well, fudgy, this fudge was harder and crumblier.

The texture wasn't great, but the buttery, maple spirit tasted conscionable arsenic bully arsenic it smelled.

The marshmallows whitethorn not look each that appetizing pinch a beige colour and wrinkly appearance, but I enjoyed their flavor.

The maple spirit was coming but not overwhelming, and the marshmallows were chewy earlier pouring successful my mouth.

I besides tried this granola pinch the Honeycrisp-apple cinnamon Greek yogurt, and I loved the combination.

It created a prominent, saccharine pome spirit balanced by spices specified arsenic cinnamon, cardamom, and achromatic pepper.

Trader Joe's Honeycrisp-apple cinnamon Greek yogurt is made pinch full milk. I recovered it had tiny, chewy pieces of pome throughout. 

This yogurt besides felt highly thick.

The yogurt was OK connected its own, though the texture was a small excessively heavy for me.

A sprinkle of Honeycrisp-apple granola helped equilibrium the heavy yogurt, truthful I'd only bargain this again if the granola was available.

I was expecting this yogurt to sensation sweet, for illustration galore pumpkin autumn foods, but it was really very earthy and almost savory.

The spirit move threw maine off, and I didn't emotion it. I wouldn't bargain this 1 again.

I heated 1 of these pumpkin-and-apple-filled pies per the package instructions — for 10 minutes astatine 350 degrees Fahrenheit successful the oven.

The crust sewage aureate but stayed buttery soft, truthful the manus pastry felt prone to buckling arsenic I held it to eat. Cutting it successful half helped slightly. 

The cookies had a much subtle autumn spirit than the pumpkin Joe-Joe's, but they were still great.

I liked the buttery shortbread and ray maple flavor. These would beryllium cleanable for dunking successful beverage aliases moreover coffee.

The pumpkin-spice spirit is beardown but not overwhelming, and the cookies were bully and crisp yet buttery.

The filling was creamy, and I recovered location was plentifulness of it, almost arsenic overmuch arsenic I'd find successful my favourite Double Stuf Oreos.

Trader Joe's has a batch of iterations of cereal bars for illustration these, but the pumpkin fto maine down.

Honestly, I didn't emotion the sensation aliases texture of these bars. Even pinch the jammy center, they seemed excessively dry. 

These crisps tasted for illustration they were conscionable made from a plain potato. If these had immoderate benignant of seasoning added, they would beryllium a hit.

Because they're besides excessively vulnerable to eat pinch a dip for added flavor, I wouldn't bargain these again. 

Alongside peppers and tomatoes, the prima of Trader Joe's pepita salsa is pumpkin seeds.

I recovered that the pepita spirit made this sensation much for illustration a typical salsa than a pumpkin-flavored autumn snack. 

The pepita salsa had much of a mean herb level and a heavy texture, which is what I prefer.

It was bully pinch chips, but the thicker texture besides intends it should activity awesome for tacos and burritos.

Trader Joe's Fall Harvest salsa contains ingredients for illustration doorbell peppers, onions, honey, apples, and butternut squash. Fortunately, the combo makes for a unique, sweeter flavor. 

I could sensation hints of squash and pome successful astir bites, and it was amazingly enjoyable. 

This salsa was very mild, truthful I mightiness operation successful other chopped peppers erstwhile I service it successful the early to adhd much power to equilibrium retired the sweetness.

The only existent downside for maine was the thin, watery texture. It made it difficult to scoop up a generous information of salsa pinch chips.

The leafage chips tasted for illustration classic tortilla chips and had a bully magnitude of salt. 

I liked the flimsy sweetness the chips had to equilibrium retired the brackish they were topped with.

They were delicious, and I recovered they paired particularly good pinch the Fall Harvest salsa because it's besides rather sweet. 

I loved the spirit of these pies. The crust was soft and buttery, and the pome filling was saccharine and chewy, complementing the brown-sugar crumble well.

These mini pies would beryllium moreover amended warmed up, but I loved them astatine room temperature, too. They were a awesome midday pick-me-up.

The petite pumpkin-spice cookies instantly caught my attraction because not each of the cookies successful the container were pumpkin-flavored.

Instead, immoderate cookies had a much basal yogurt coating, which I thought was bully to equilibrium the flavors out.

The pumpkin-spice cookies had a bully crisp texture from the shortbread and sprinkles. I liked that the cookies were connected the smaller side, making them perfect for snacking.

The pumpkin-spice flavoring was much subtle than I expected, and I really wished the spices were a spot stronger to equilibrium the cookies' sweetness.

Although I emotion each the pumpkin and pome flavors associated pinch fall, I was excited to effort thing a small different pinch Trader Joe's Maple Pancake Snaps.

These seemed for illustration a great day snack to travel immoderate basking java aliases tea.

The cookies were a bully equilibrium of crispy and buttery. They were crisp astatine first and past melted successful my mouth, making it difficult to eat conscionable one.

The maple spirit made the cookies beautiful rich. I liked snacking connected them connected their own, but I deliberation they'd besides beryllium a nosy replacement to vanilla wafers successful banana pudding aliases arsenic a pastry crust alternatively of graham crackers.

I didn't spot these shortbread cookies connected my first walk done the store, but I was actively hunting for them based connected each the awesome reviews I had seen online.

I yet recovered the mini boxes tucked supra 1 of the freezer sections.

These cookies were highly crispy and had a light, caller pome flavor. Based connected the smell, I expected a much artificial taste, but the spirit was really very subtle and pleasant.

I'd bargain them again to dip into basking beverage pinch a scatter of milk.

As expected, the biscotti had a tough, crunchy texture that was begging to beryllium dipped into a basking drink.

When paired pinch coffee, the biscotti was elevated — I could sensation much of the walnut flavor, which balanced retired the saccharine maple.

This biscotti was moreover tougher to wound into than the maple-walnut one, but the spirit was great. I tasted existent pumpkin pinch a hint of spice.

The pumpkin spirit paired good pinch achromatic coffee, and the cookies softened nicely erstwhile I dipped them into my basking drink. 

Though I preferred the maple-walnut flavor, I'll support some flavors successful my snack rotation this season.

When I opened the bag, I was amazed to find that these crisps smelled a batch for illustration stuffing. After taking a bite, I realized they tasted for illustration stuffing, too.

Despite their cranberry flavor, these crisps mostly tasted of thyme. I don't cognize if these would beryllium a regular snack for me, but I'd scope for them if I'm craving turkey aliases stuffing.
