Synergistically Seasoned Popcorn
Natasha’s List, formerly known as Trader Joe’s List, is an online haven for Trader Joe’s aficionados. The titular Natasha loves to share her Trader Joe’s hauls and during one early spring shopping trip, she shared her love of the Synergistically Seasoned Popcorn.
“It’s almost like popcorn had an identity crisis with a spice drawer,” she said.
She’s a fan of the smoky, spicy, and tangy flavors. However, this tasty snack is a seasonal item, so get it while you can.

Milk-Chocolate Covered Honeycomb Candy
Natasha called the Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Covered Honeycomb Candy, “the most dangerous candy that Trader Joe’s has ever come out with.” She can back up the claim with the fact that, despite having a resealable package, she’s demolished an entire bag in one sitting.
At just $3.99 a bag, that’s a whole lot of sweetness for a low price.

Jalapeño & Cream Cheese Crispy Wontons
When Bon Appétit magazine ranked the top spring offerings from Trader Joe’s, writer Alex Beggs anointed the Jalapeño and Cream Cheese Crispy Wontons as the favorite — even going so far as to say it was the most important item to be added to the Trader Joe’s frozen food section this year.
“It’s exactly the snacky treat that gleams at you from the freezer when you’re exhausted and desperate,” she said. At $4.99 a package, you’ll be able to keep your freezer stocked all season.

Cinnamon Twist Danish
Beggs enjoyed almost everything about this sweet treat, from the “groovy packaging” to the “dough interwoven with cinnamon-sugar butter, akin to a cinnamon roll.” While she would have preferred a slightly thicker texture, she said she managed to finish every bite with a cup of coffee.
You’ll have to check your local Trader Joe’s for prices for this limited, seasonal item.
Sous Vide Chicken Thighs
Looking for a decadent dinner this spring? You’d do well to snap up some Trader Joe’s Sous Vide Chicken for only $8.99 on your next haul.
Beggs called this selection, “a pleasure.” She added that the thighs, which are broken up into nuggets, are “a blank, juicy canvas” for you to create your own delicacies. You can eat them in a salad or sandwich, or even serve them with vegetables as a full meal.
