Pickle Popcorn
Sprinkled with dill seasoning, this snack takes your average movie popcorn and gives it a savory, slightly tangy kick.
Apple Pie Cheddar Cheese
Some people like to put a slice of cheese on their fresh-baked apple pie. TJ's apparently wants to do the opposite, offering a block of cheddar that's marbled with apple, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg so you can enjoy the sweet-and-savory experience anytime.
Bacon Jam
As weird as this sounds, bacon jam is quite the dream. Here's how it's made: applewood smoked bacon is simmered down slowly with onions, dark brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until it's dark and rich, then it's whizzed through the food processor until relish-like. Try it it on your next BLT, swirl it into whipped cream cheese, or slather it on baked brie.
Mochi Rice Nuggets
The culinary minds at Trader Joe's apparently first spotted these at a Japanese airport. They're made from a glutinous, chewy rice paste that's cut into squares and fired to puff them up. They're tossed in sea salt so you get crispy, crunchy, salty snack that's totally addictive.
Rice and Mushroom "Sausage"
Though these are mostly soy-based, they look and taste like real meat sausages. The texture isn't rubbery but rather meaty, with a good chew and notes of rich mushroom and rosemary.
Turkey Stuffing Chips
A new seasonal specialty for TJ's, these chips taste just like the real thing and it's surprisingly amazing.
Teriyaki Seaweed Snacks
Seaweed snacks are pretty popular but flaky sheets of roasted seaweed that's kissed with teriyaki sauce is next level. You've gotta give them a go.
"Sponge" Candy
The name might sound totally off-putting to those unfamiliar with this nostalgic treat, but this airy, toffee-life confection is coated in chocolate and will quickly become your new favorite sweet treat.
Bollywood Popcorn
Spice up your average popcorn with this tikka masala-inspired flavor that's a blend of spices like turmeric, mustard seeds, cardamom, and garam masala.
Kefir
If you've never tried kefir, you need to. It's a nutritious, drinkable yogurt that's made from whole milk.
Spicy Dill Potato Chips
A step up from the dill-pickle popcorn, these spicy kettle chips are a force to be reckoned with. Sure, it's a lot going on, but why shy away from something so awesome?
