Trader Joe's Easter Joe-Joe's
Price: $3.99
These aren't the same Joe-Joe's you're used to. The four-pack features an Easter-y spring theme, starting with the classic chocolate and vanilla creme cookies. But it takes a turn from there. Trader Joe's tops the treats with nonpareils, egg-shaped sprinkles, white chocolate, pink sanding sugar, seasonal decor, and more.
Trader Joe's Marshmallow Eggs
Price: $1.49
Sugar-coated marshmallows are an Easter classic you've always adored. But Peeps aren't the only option this year.
Trader Joe's dupe is almost identical to the original. But these pink, purple, yellow, and green eggs have a secret. The pretty pastel palette comes from natural sources like turmeric, veggie juice, and spirulina extract.
Trader Joe's Gourmet Jelly Beans
Price: $5.49
Hop on over to Trader Joe's and nab this 15-ounce bag of beans. Jelly beans, that is. The classic spring snack features 18 festive flavors.
If you just can't stop at a handful (or two), snag the smaller size instead. This gourmet goody is also available in a five-ounce box for $2.79.
Trader Joe's Chocolate Truffle Eggs
Price: $2.99
It doesn't get more decadent than this sweet truffle treat. The confection collection includes bite-sized Dark Praline, Crispy Milk, Milk Praline, Milk Coconut, Dark Pistachio, Dark Cookies and Creme, and White Praline Belgian chocolate eggs.
Trader Joe's Break Apart Bunny
Price: $3.99
Break this bunny apart to reveal a special surprise. Spoiler alert: Trader Joe's popular carrot-shaped gummies are hidden inside.
Some shoppers think the hidden candy is the best part. Redditor InteractionVisual843 admitted, "I just saw the bunny as an obstacle to eat around to get the best gummies ever made."
Trader Joe's Freeze Dried Strawberry Pieces
Price: $4.99
Don't confuse this sweet snack with the store's plain freeze dried strawberries. While we're fans of the unsweetened, unsulfured version ($3.49 for 1.2 ounces), this pick has a strawberry yogurt candy coating.
Snack on the bold berry bites straight from the bag, blend them into a batch of homemade trail mix, or enjoy them on top of a cool bowl of French vanilla ice cream.
Trader Joe's Garlic Butter Irish Potato Chips
Price: $2.99
Craving something salty? These chips typically land on store shelves right before St. Patrick's Day.
A savory blend of zesty garlic and rich butter flavors gives these crinkle-cut chips a taste that Trader Joe's shoppers can't get enough of. Reddit user Naranj9781 gushed, "I am not keen on potato chips, but these are addicting…Garlicky deliciousness in a bag."
Trader Joe's Sour Jelly Beans
Price: $2.79
Fans of the retailer's Gourmet Jelly Beans need to nab the classic candy's sour cousin. The four-ounce bag includes five zesty flavors: tangerine, lemon, green apple, blue raspberry, and cranberry.
Trader Joe's Fruity Gummy Candies
Price: $2.29
Skip the same plain gummies you always buy and try this fruit juice-flavored find. The pineapple, grapefruit, mango, blueberry, and watermelon candy is a refreshing spring snack with just the right amount of soft, chewy goodness.
This returning product gets plenty of praise from Trader Joe's shoppers. Redditor lusacat wrote, "These are so awesome! The flavors actually taste like the flavors they're supposed to be."

Trader Joe's Watermelon Freeze Dried Candies
Price: $3.99
Some of our favorite Trader Joe's finds, like this one, come and go. Now that spring is in the air, these rainbow-hued freeze-dried watermelon balls are back in stock. The crunchy confection flawlessly blends sweet and sour, making it a tangy treat that you'll enjoy.
Forget about chemical dyes. These candies get their color courtesy of paprika, spirulina, turmeric, and fruit/veggie juices.
Trader Joe's Organic Guava Fruit Spread
Price: $2.99
While technically not a "treat," this sweet spread has a dessert-like deliciousness that you'll want to enjoy straight from the jar. But we suggest using it to top toast, pancakes, or an ice cream sundae. You can even mix it into a marinade or use the organic guava jelly to make a spring salad dressing.
Trader Joe's Japanese Mini Taiyaki
Price: $4.99
What would happen if you combined a thick, flaky waffle with indulgently creamy pudding? You might get this seasonal treat.
The custard-filled pastries are a returning item that deserves a 10/10 for taste and texture. Hint: We recommend air frying the fish for maximum crispiness.
Trader Joe's Organic Raw Honey Infused With Cardamom
Price: $5.49
We think this is one "honey" of a deal. The brand-new buy features the warm, subtly spicy flavor of cardamom mixed with the sweetness of honey. The bright, bold taste adds something special to your morning cup of tea, cookies, oatmeal, or yogurt.
Trader Joe's Organic Beary Tiny Gummies
Price: $1.49
Snap up this returning product when you see it. What do shoppers think about these minis? According to redditor amahency22, "The organic Beary Tiny Gummies are so delicious…And I don't really even like gummy bears."
Bottom line
Hurry into Trader Joe's and snag these spring treats before they're gone. With summer on the horizon, a whole new crop of limited-time deals is about to hit store shelves.
Even though we're absolutely obsessed with these seasonal selections, the retailer's springtime specials aren't the only ways to save. If you're looking for easy (and affordable) Easter meal options, tackle high grocery costs and stock up on Trader Joe's popular heat-and-eat frozen entrées, sides, and starters.
