20 Best Trader Joe’S Desserts (2022 Updated)

Vanilla meringues…. *drools* So good. The outside is baked perfectly and it’s slightly gooey / chewy on the inside. YUM. Oh if you can, please buy these directly from Trader Joe’s as they’re half the price that they are online (they retail for 4.

99). Or have someone that lives by a TJ’s mail you some! Otherwise you’ll be paying $11 and up for these babies.

Wait… WHAT?! These are amazing! One of the best things I’ve tried from TJ’s!!! They are crispy and yet soft, and they melt in your mouth! They remind me very much of giant Lucky Charms marshmallows, except for better.

OMG , it is so so so good. I can’t stop eating these. Meringues are so tender and not over sweet. Also not so hard to chew on. I can’t really taste vanilla ( just a bit ) but I don’t care 😂it’s amazing.

It’s far free and just 90 calories per 4 cookies ( I’m positive about that lol). The price is so good , I think it’s 3. 59 – 4 $ and the box is pretty big.

Its almost too good. Be careful because it obviously isnt a healthy product but you definitely can eat the whole jar in one seating! I love it with fruit and toast! Happy eating!

This is so so good! I love it on toast!! It’s an easy and satisfying dessert and even though it’s not the healthiest of the desserts, putting it on wheat toast with some banana has made it so good that it helps me get over my donut and chocolate cravings! It’s really yummy, just make sure not to go too crazy with it! Lol.

I’m a huge fan of cookie butter so when this came out I was so excited. When I finally tried it I was disappointed. I wish it had less of the cocoa swirl and more cookie butter. I felt like the cookie butter got lost in all the chocolate.

It’s still really good but not something I crave.

These cookies are pretty good, but they aren’t my favorite. They’re a seasonal favorite at Trader Joe’s each year around Thanksgiving. This is the first year I tried them and they’re really good dunked in coffee, but by themselves I’m not a fan.

The actual cookies are thick and not super crunchy. The pumpkin spiced cream in the middle is delicious!! But paired with the cookies and by themselves, I don’t love them. Overall, they aren’t bad but I wouldn’t buy them again.

I really wanted to love these but there’s something about them that just doesn’t taste right. It doesn’t taste anything like pumpkin and left a weird taste in my mouth. I had originally took 4 to eat but only ate 2 maybe.

I’m so sad because I love all things Trader Joe’s.

they’re fine. not the best but when you randomly want something sweet that isn’t chocolate they do the trick. The pumpkin flavor isnt very strong, and i wish there was a cream cheese filling or something to make them a little more interesting/flavorful, but they’re still a good fall cookie.

I love these. Crunchy. Small. Good price. Tastes great with milk. Definitely one of the better ginger snap cookies on the market. Only drawback to these are they go stale tasting if the container is not properly sealed.

I will buy again and store in a zip lock bag and put in the freezer.

I used to love these cookies! However, purchased them today 02/18/2022 and noticed right away, the cookie is less dense, less crystallized ginger pieces. Really unfortunate because they had a great product but now cutting corners- what a shame- won’t buy these in the future.

I have been hooked on these ever since I tried them. I personally LOVE ginger. So these are perfect for me. Although ginger can have a bite to it these cookies aren’t overpowering like one would expect.

This is because it has crystallized ginger in it which gives it some sweetness. These have a great crunch but aren’t so hard you feel like you will hurt your teeth. The only reason I’m doing 4 stars is because $5 per tub is a bit high for me (but I still buy them anyway) and every now and then the crystallized ginger will get stuck to my teeth.

Other than that, highly recommend!.

I had always used shower gel for my soap but I started to have skin reactions to multiple different brands so I switched over to this bar soap and I couldn’t be happier. It feels great on my skin and the little bits of oatmeal are a very gentle exfoliator.

The scent is not too strong at all, and I don’t feel like my skin is dried out after, like most bar soaps.

This is the best soap ever! I love how clean the ingredients are, and I was very surprised and how well it lathers. Not only does it smell amazing too, but I feel so clean AND moisturized after using it! It is fantastic for the price as well.

I will definitely be repurchasing.

This soap sounded like a good idea. Oatmeal and honey and all the goods. When you open it, there is a very overpowering smell of cinnamon. It’s very firm and chic looking. I don’t suggest using it as body/face wash however.

My skin is easily irritated and prone to dryness, and the soap made things even rougher. Use it for your underwear instead.

Cookie butter is just magical! It’s a delightful, sweet, tasty spread similar to Nutella, but spreads like peanut butter. It tastes like the most amazing cookie you’ve ever had smooshed to smithereens to create the best sludge you’ve ever tasted.

It’s taste is light and not TOO sweet which spells trouble because then you can eat the whole jar in one sitting – haha just kidding. Unless? It’s smooth but sometimes you get an ever so slight crunch that bursts a delicate, sweet and maybe kind of salty taste in your mouth.

Cookie butter is a treat that everyone should experience at least once.

Okay. I know there are many reviews on this, but I truly love this stuff. I honestly haven’t met too many people who don’t like it, to be honest. It has a wonderful creamy texture and the cookie butter flavor reminds me so much of Christmas or the Fall season.

Also, it literally goes well with so many things. I like to put it on rice cakes, eat it with fresh fruit, and of course, just by the spoonful. Honestly? It would probably be good mixed in with some hot chocolate.

The possibilities are endless! I can see why this is a classic in Trader Joe’s.

This is somewhat addicting because it’s so good! It is great to spread on a wheat bagel for breakfast or to have for dipping fresh cut apples with. Also, they make excellent cookies! There are many uses for this cookie butter and it is so delicious it’s almost dangerous lol.

I would highly recommend trying it if you like cookie butter!! [brand:trader-joes] knows what tastes good!!.

I’ve been using this bar recently for cleaning my makeup sponges and brushes and wow. My beautyblender goes from foundation-colored to its original purple in 1 min flat. My brushes get cleaned in 30 seconds and never have any kind of residue when dry.

I have never had results this good with any actual, expensive makeup brush cleaner, and was so amazed that I thought it had to be shared!.

I love this soap! It smells so. clean! It is so affordable! Makes my skin much smoother than any expensive bottle of body wash. I think that it may be a little drying. I have fairly ‘normal’ skin and it doesn’t really ‘add’ any kind of moisture to my skin, but it does seem to make it super smooth.

I also have the little tiny bumps on my upper arms and this somehow takes it away completely!.

I just started using this one and don’t hate it but also is not my favorite bar soap. It does the job of cleaning but for some reason my skin doesn’t love it. My legs almost dry out from using it. I do love the smell though.

Still looking for a replacement of this product.

Trader Joe’s milk chocolate peanut butter cups are delicious, they are dangerous for me to have around. I cannot eat just one. They are not overly sweet, the texture is smooth when biting into these.

No gritty peanut butter or bitter chocolate. This little guys pair well with a cup of coffee or a glass of merlot. Everyone who loves peanut butter cups needs to try these!.

Both the milk and the dark chocolate are good. I prefer the dark chocolate because I am a dark chocolate kind of girl. They are priced well. We had these at my daughters house and my son tried to walk out with the tub of milk chocolate ones, 😂.

They are so darn good.

These are so good I’m addicted. I buy these every time I go to Trader Joe’s. Reece’s peanut butter cups but better and higher quality. I get the individually packaged ones and pack them with my lunches.

Will be unwell if Tj’s ever gets rid of them.

Twinkies used to taste good. I dont remember wheb they ruined them by destroying the recipe in the name of food science based profits, but I vaguely recall enjoying a Twinkie that seemed to be low sugar like 20 years ago.

If you enjoyed Twinkies as a kid in the 80’s or prior, this is not the same by any means. Twinkies used to be yellow cake filled with cream. I dont know what this lab- reated item is but it tastes sort of like it isnt actually food and is something aliens devised to seem like food.

The textire of the cake reminds me of those orange candy peanuts that you can squish down and the cream isnt any sort if milk product and seems to be made of whipped corn syrup. Im not sure if Twinkies were ruined back when the company was sold (this is usually how that works – mergers, or someone buys the company and ruins the recipe to make more money) or if it was prior, but every few years I check back to see if Twinkies are edible.

Im so over Twinkies. They shouldn’t be all6 to keeo calling a product by the brand if it isnt the products anymore and this is not a Twinkie. I hate to use the word terrible because that word is overused by over dramatic ppl leaving bad reviews who are clearly just angry at the world, but I dont know of another word for these that so aptly describes their quality and taste.

FYI you can just make something that tastes like Twinkies used to taste fairly easily if you’re ambitious – there are Twinkie recipes online.

I went into my local grocery store this evening and found these Hostess Mixed Berry Twinkies. I love Twinkies and had no idea this type existed (and I also love fruit). These Twinkies are the same ones you love but with a fruity twist.

It tastes more like strawberry cream than other fruits and I love it! I will definitely repurchase them and I recommend them to all Twinkie lovers!.

I love Hostess cakes. Twinkies is on my top 3 list for Hostess cakes. I didn’t buy them for a long time but when I heard they might go out of business I started buying them again. The spongy outer layer and creamy filling is a treat I’ll have a little too often when I buy a box.

I try to eat just one but sometimes it can go to two. The calories I will not even look at lol. I think it’s also a childhood indulgence that I don’t want to give up on.

I’ve bought these twice. Celiac disease requires gluten free. They are chocolate and sweet but what I do not like is the crème center tastes fine but the cupcake left thawed in the refrigerator still remains so “stiff”, “solid”, “firm” that it doesn’t have the qualities of homemade freshly baked such as softness, moistness, Mmmmmmm satisfaction.

They tend to disappoint me, but that’s me. They might trip your trigger. Won’t know unless you try. I do not intend to buy again.

I love these. I saw some reviews complain about the texture and the crème filling. Well first, I will say they should be thawed a few hours at room temp. When the crème is completely thawed is best, and do not microwave them.

I love the chocolate flavor and the crème is delightful. They can be a little dry, but with a glass of milk, they are just the best!! I have had a lot of GF foods over the years (I’ve been doing this for about 20 years) and these are great.

I also found that these don’t give me a stomach ache like some other GF treats.

These have been a favorite of mine and they absolutely do not seem Like they are GF because they are sooo good! I would say these are the closest thing to a hostess cupcake. Keep them in the freezer and pull one or two out and put them in the refrigerator, but I like them best at room temperature! You have to try these! Yum! You’re great to take a long if you’re going someplace that you know people will be eating dessert.

Plus… it’s chocolate and what is not to like about that!?!.

These are addictive! They don’t taste artificial like the most common brand of peanut butter cups. The peanut butter is creamy and tasty. My only warning is that they can melt quickly so don’t have them in a hot car for long.

I literally cannot believe how good these dark chocolate peanut butter cups are. I typically do not eat dark chocolate because they taste bitter to me. The Trader Joe’s ones taste delicious and is worth every penny.

This is my second box. I’ll probably buy another one soon.

So, let me start off by saying that as a Chef, I am a “food snob”. I can’t do cheap chocolate!! Enter Trader Joe’s Pound Plus 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate. This is my current obsession. It’s made in Belgium so you know it’s high quality but without the gratuitous high price! I have been enjoying this chocolate for several years and at this affordable price($4.

99 per 17. 6 oz bar), I can buy this regularly. The 72% Cacao mass is important to me. Not only for eating as is but, for baking as well. I use it exclusively for my Orange infused cranberry-chocolate chunk cookies which someday I will share.

This dark chocolate melts evenly and never burns. It has a very decadent mouth feel as it slowly melts on the tongue. Get out there and pick up a bar or two!!! #TraderJoes #AffordableChocolate.

I love these! I love them for a little something sweet for dessert or mid day. They are super affordable, the flavor is amazing, and I personally like Trader Joe’s chocolate more than other brands. Every time i go shopping I manage to throw some of these in my cart.

Best chocolate and healthy too. Amazingly no cholesterol!! Melts in your mouth as it’s soooo sooo smooth. LOVE it…highly recommended ! This comes from a chocolate lover.

Haven’t had a hostess cake in a long while so thought I’d buy myself a little treat. LITTLE is exactly what I got. These cakes should be called minis. They’re barealy as long as 3 small postage stamps (about 2 inches long) and only about 1/2 an inch thick.

The cake layer is so thin that it measures just 2mm thick (that’s just 1/12 of an inch)!! Hate to sound like Debbie Downer (no offence to anyone named Debbie), but it was quite a shock. Unfortunately I won’t be buying them again.

They’re just too small, and now waaaay too sweet.

I have loved these little delicacies since childhood but hasn’t everyone? The impossibly thin layer of chocolate shell and the cloud-like cream filling all rolled up with the best thing on earth, chocolate cake! What’s not to love I ask you? I have a very hard time choosing between these and Ding Dongs as my favorite! Don’t you? : ).

These bring me back to my childhood. Always the best thing to find in my lunch as a kid. The flavor is delicious and the inside is light and chocolaty. There are other brands that make similar treats, but Hostess brand is by far the best.

I love having these in my pantry.

Theses are not the fresh soft cake or the creme centers that they use to be. In fact they are smaller. Not fully creme filled n definitely not fresh soft cake. It all stopped when hostess was bought out due to financial reasons.

Think I will see if twinkled are different. But so far the company that bought hostess has ruined the product. Even the pictures don’t match what the product really Ike. Pictures are better than the product.

Hostess Ding Dongs are a childhood favorite. The outside has this nice thick layer of chocolate that has a nice, not sure how to explain it, but like crumbly texture. The cake inside is moist. And the cream is delicious.

I appreciate that it is not too much cream either. A great sweet treat snack! I highly recommend!.

These are a throwback from my childhood too. They’ve gotten smaller over the years, but they’re still great. The chocolate coating is smooth. The cake inside is rich and moist. The cream filling is lightly sweet and delicious.

I still love these, but I miss unwrapping the tin foil that they used to be wrapped in all those years ago.

tastes great! love eating after dinner before bed sometimes. good snack. Repeat Customer. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Okay, so I am officially a Vegan and try to avoid sugar but I have a teenager who still knows about junk food!! He loves the traditional snack foods like most teenagers. One of his faves are Twinkies.

Little sponge cakes with Vanilla crème inside. I took major points off because they have high fructose corn syrup as one of the ingredients.

With a gluten-free almond base, and really tasty orange flavor — this is a delicious cake that’s perfect as a dessert. We’ve had several of these and we’ll order some more. We highly recommend this — and the other cakes from the Biscuiterie de Provence.

we ordered the cake without any extra flavors and we liked that so much that over time we’ve now tried all of them and they are not only delicious but good for you. They keep for a long time after you eat one slice and you can also order more than one and keep others in reserve in case you need something sweet and delicious in a hurry.

Sounds delicious. I love orange-flavored goodies.

They bring me back to my childhood. Reminding me of simpler days. Now that I am older gotta watch the fat intake. I would not change the products for anything. They always meet my expectations. They are the best.

I will always buy. Never change a good thing.

Taste yummy but not worth the calories, fat and gluten that’s in there. If you’re buying them for your kids as a treat or you simply don’t care about the sugar, fat and gluten that’s in these, then yes they’re yummy.

Chocolatey and soft and sweet. But, not so great that I’d risk the nutrition factors.

What a wonderful item! I really enjoyed this. no cons, it doesn’t need perfection it’s already great! I wouldn’t improve this product as I just said. Very affordable non expensive, would highly suggest this to all of my friends and family!.

Even as a kid myself I have always loved these cakes. They are delicious no matter what holiday special or regular got a sweet tooth? Go for one of these babys. They aren’t healthy but what kids treat is lol.

The prices on these are always great and having kids this is a great thing to have around for me.

All of the little debbie’s pastries are amazing. I could sit down and eat a whole pack of any of the flavors of brownies to cakes to crisps. Everything is so good. But my absolute Favorites are the little debbie’s brownies! They are so chocolatey and moist I love them.

These take me back to my childhood! I try not to buy these too often because I have no ability to pace myself 😂 However, I do get them every once in a while and I’m never disappointed. The fall look is festive, but taste-wise I feel that these are basically the same as Zebra Cakes except with sprinkles instead of stripes.

These cupcakes are pretty good. Not the best but they are tasty if you need something quick and sweet to munch on. The cream inside is light and fluffy. The chocolate cupcake part is alright. Just a regular cupcake though.

If it didn’t have the cream or the icing on top I’d probably pass on them.

Totally tradition ,I am so happy these are still around. Little Debbie and I go way back. Definitely an heirloom food product. My kiddos love these as much as I did when I was there age. They are so moist and chocolaty , the frosting is trademark of Little Debbie.

The filling is silky sweet like a marshmallow cloud.

These are so good, I spent months working on a copycat recipe. One of the three little debbie cakes I have semi-regularly. I enjoy the milder cream taste to offset the richer chocolate. If only they didn’t have so many calories, I would eat them more often!.
