My favorite fall item was Trader Joe’s pumpkin flavored waffles. They came in a box of eight and the waffles were easy to make. I just put them in the toaster and once they were toasted I put butter and syrup on top and it was simple, yet very flavorful.
The waffles had the perfect amount of pumpkin and it went well with coffee on the side. For frozen waffles I was surprised how delicious they tasted. They are definitely worth the purchase and will spice up your breakfast routine. I rate the pumpkin waffles five out of five stars.

The product that came in second place were the pumpkin flavored tortilla chips. Every bite has the right amount of crunch and a hint of pumpkin. I rate the tortilla chips a four out of five stars. The pumpkin tortilla chips pair well with goat cheese and with Toscano cheese dusted with cinnamon from Trader Joe’s.
The third product on the list is the pumpkin body butter. Not only does it smell like pumpkin, but it leaves your skin deeply moisturized. The body butter comes in an eight ounce tub and it’s made with coconut oil, shea butter and pumpkin seed oil. The pumpkin body butter is pure white and thick and creamy. The body butter lathers nicely onto your skin. Its effects also last for a while, unlike other lotions that dissolve quickly. I rate the pumpkin body butter five out of five stars.
The fourth product is the pumpkin cereal bars which come in a box of six. The cereal bars have soft-baked wheat crust with a jam-like pumpkin filling inside. The pumpkin and cinnamon complement each other and are flavorful. This pumpkin cereal bar is good for an on-the-go snack and will get you in the mood for autumn. I rate the pumpkin cereal bar a five out of five stars.
The fifth product are the fall corn chips that are shaped like leaves. Each chip in the bag is shaped like a leaf and comes in the different autumn leaves colors. They are a fun snack to have to get in the spirit of fall and they are tasty too. These fall chips pair well with salsa and hummus. They have the right amount of salt and crunch.
The next product is the butternut squash mac & cheese. The butternut squash makes the mac & cheese creamier and more buttery. Overall, the butternut squash elevates the flavor of the dish. The mac & cheese has three cheeses: Gouda, Cheddar and Parmesan. The butternut squash adds another coating of creaminess that melts in your mouth.
The mac & cheese can be paired with baked chicken and cornbread for a comforting dish. I rate the butternut squash mac & cheese a five out of five stars.
Lastly we have the peanut butter dark chocolate cups. They are delicious and addicting; they have the perfect amount of sweetness. They are a great pick me up during the day when you’re craving something light and sweet. I rate the dark chocolate peanut butter cups a five out of five stars.
Overall, Trader Joe’s never fails to deliver delicious products each year.
