Sure, Pinterest-ing your way to a delicious dessert is fun when you have time to kill - but generally speaking, our sugar cravings don't just wait for the weekend. The solution? Trader Joe's. Our favorite grocery store has tons of (seriously fancy!) pre-made dessert options that are just as delicious as homemade. (And don't present the opportunity for a major Pinterest fail!)

Dark Chocolate Cookie Butter Cups

Once you try these I promise you'll never want to eat another peanut butter cup again. Think the classic candy favorite, with the peanut butter replaced by TJ's famous cookie butter.

Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches

If it wasn't already indicated by the name, these aren't your average grocery freezer aisle ice cream sandwiches. Instead of being sandwiched between two pieces of soggy chocolate, the vanilla ice cream comes surrounded by doughy chocolate chip cookies and rolled in chocolate chips. Need we say more?

Sweet Bites

Is it just me or does a teeny size make any dessert feel fancier? These bite size cakes are the perfect no-fuss dessert to make up in a flash if you're expecting guests - they'll never guess they came from a frozen Trader Joe's box.

Brownie Crisp

Brownie crisp is basically brownies in snack form. (It may or may not be ridiculously easy to look down and realize you just ate the whole bag!)

Salted Caramel Bread Pudding

Okay, so I know "bread pudding" might not sound like the most appealing dessert in the world, but trust me when I say that the vanilla custard and salted caramel in this make it so much more delicious than just eating plain bread for dessert.

Cookie Butter Sandwich Cookies

The idea here is to eat cookie butter in as many forms as possible, and these sandwich cookies take it to the next level.

Belgian Flaked Truffles

Whether you're a milk, dark, or white chocolate person, you won't be able to eat just one of these flaky, melty truffles that taste way too good to have come from Trader Joe's.
