11 Best Trader Joe’s Finds To Add To Your Cart This April: Dulce De Leche Ice Cream & More

Spring is in the air, and incredible items are on Trader Joe’s shelves. Pumpkin-palooza may get a lot of hype, but we can’t forget about all of the limited-time items available at other times for year. This spring is a great example. From baked goods to sour candy, there’s a whole plethora of seasonal groceries to get your hands on during your next Trader Joe’s trip. Below, we’re rounding up a few of our favorites.

1. These Sprinkles Walk Into a Sandwich Cookie

Attention, dessert lovers! If you were disappointed in the “Hold the Cone” tips, maybe you’ll be more satisfied by these sandwich cookies. Simple but delicious, they give us everything we could want in a sweet treat: cookies, butter cream, and sprinkles. “These are my absolute favorite Trader Joe’s cookies,” one shopper on the Trader Joe’s subreddit raved. You can grab a box for $3.49.

2. Peas & Carrots Sour Gummy Candies

Gummy candy fiends absolutely have to get their hands on this seasonal sour candy from Trader Joe's. These spring-forward treats are shaped like carrots and peas—but don't worry, they taste perfectly sweet and sour. They've even naturally colored! You can stock up for $1.29 per bag.

3. Cheery Lemon Animal Crackers

There's nothing quite like a frosted animal cracker, and according to Trader Joe's shoppers, these lemon-flavored treats really hit the spot. We love a good lemon dessert in the spring (shoutout to those Lemon Sheet Cakes!), so we can't wait to add these to our carts on our next TJ's trip. "They are SO good! Love! I wish they would make them year round!" one Redditor raved. Plus, at just 99 cents per bag, why wouldn't you stock up?

4. Baked Lemon Ricotta Cheese

Speaking of lemon... if you haven't tried this Baked Lemon Ricotta Cheese yet, it's time to take a trip to Trader Joe's. TJ's really knows how to do cheese, and this option is no different. This delicious Italian ricotta is blended with lemon paste and baked to perfection. Serve it up with your favorite fruit, crackers, and even cookies for a cheese plate that's sure to impress your guests this spring.

5. Springle Jangle

If there's been a Jingle Jangle-shaped hole in your heart since the holiday items left Trader Joe's, maybe this Spring edition will be some consolation. This snack mix features mini chocolate-covered pretzels, mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups, butter toffee peanuts, non-pareils, and dark chocolate Joe Joe cookie bark. What more could you want? You can grab 10-oz bags in the snack aisle.

6. Salted Caramel Swirl Danish

If you're looking for some of the tastiest treats around, you should always check the Trader Joe's bakery section. This Salted Caramel Swirl Danish is a new edition that definitely has our mouths watering. Each package contains three Danish pastries that are filled with almond cream and swirled with caramel custard. Of course they're baked to perfection, too. For just $3.99, they're definitely worth a try.

7. Mini Chocolate Chip Croissant Swirls

Speaking of swirls, these Mini Chocolate Chip Croissant Swirls should also be on your grocery list. Stop by the freezer section and throw 'em into your cart for $3.99.

A 9 oz. tub is just $4.99.

9. Dulce de Leche Ice Cream

Our hearts are still breaking over the fact that When Life Gives You Lemons ice cream isn't making a return this spring, but there is one amazing flavor to fill your freezer with in its place: Dulce de Leche. We always love trying the new limited-edition Trader Joe's desserts, and this one is to die for. It features a caramel ice cream base and mixes in Dulce de Leche-style caramel swirl. Grab a spoon and dip into a pint!
