1. Raspberry Mousse Cakes
These limited-edition mini cakes are flying off Trader Joe’s shelves, and for good reason. The brand describes them as “light, delicate, and bursting with ebulliently bright berry flavor,” and are made specifically for the store by a trained pastry chef.
“Each one starts with a thick layer of moist, delicious vanilla cake,” the Trader Joe’s website says. “Topped with an even thicker layer of silky, raspberry-flavored mousse” and “enrobed in a sweet, confectionary coating.”
And for 6 of them, it’s only $3.99! Customers are already raving about them on social media, calling them “perfect for those of us who aren’t super chocolatey!”

2. Heart Shaped Macarons
These Heart Shaped Macarons are actually found in the freezer section—so if you haven’t seem them with the rest of the desserts, head over to the dessert freezer section. The box comes with 8 macarons for just $4.99, with flavors including vanilla, strawberry, and raspberry.
Customers have described the filling in the center as “somewhere between a ganache and frosted middle” and “pleasant without being overpowering.” While these have been seen before in past years, there’s no guarantee they’ll be back next year, so stock up while you can!

3. Gummy Xs & Os
Trader Joe’s is known for its Scandinavian Swimmers, and these X and O shaped gummies are their seasonal take on the fan favorite. The “soft and chewy gummy candies” come in pink, red, and white colors, which represent all the red berry flavors: strawberry, raspberry, and cherry.
You can get a whole bag for just $2.99, but you might want to grab two or three, because customers who bring the bag home to their families often find they’re gone the same day!
