Springle Jangle

• Price: $4.49

This spring-themed twist on the beloved holiday Jingle Jangle is a must-grab item. The Springle Jangle snack mix combines yogurt-coated pretzels, butter toffee peanuts, sprinkle-coated nonpareils, Joe Joe’s cookie bark and mini peanut butter cups in festive spring colors, according to Parade. These are perfect for snacking, entertaining or satisfying any sweet-and-salty craving.

This spring-themed treat is not yet on the Trader Joe’s website, but keep an eye out so you can grab some before they’re gone. Per Parade, the price last year was $4.49.

Mini Lemon Sheet Cake

• Price: $5.99

When you need a quick dessert that tastes homemade, Trader Joe’s mini sheet cakes deliver. The seasonal lemon flavor (not yet on the website) returns every spring, according to The Every Girl, and it features super-moist cake that’s perfect for spring gatherings.

The miniature size makes it dangerously easy to finish in one sitting — or split with a friend over coffee. Last year, the lemon sheet cake cost just $5.99, per The Every Girl.

Japanese Soufflé Cheesecakes

• Price: $3.99

If you’re looking for a lighter dessert option this spring, these Japanese soufflé cheesecakes are worth grabbing. Simply thaw them in the fridge for three hours before serving. They’re perfect topped with fresh strawberries or enjoyed plain for a delicate spring dessert.

Butter With Parmesan, Garlic and Herb

• Price: $2.99

This compound butter with Parmesan, garlic and herb is a game-changer for spring grilling season. Melt rounds over grilled steak or corn on the cob, spread it on baguette slices for instant garlic bread, or toss with roasted vegetables for restaurant-quality flavor. At under $3, it’s an effortless way to elevate simple spring meals without any extra prep work.

Sandwich Rolls

• Price: $3.49

Sometimes the basics done right are the most impressive products. These sandwich rolls have a slightly chewy exterior that gets wonderfully crisp when toasted, while the inside stays soft and light. The subtly sweet, yeasty flavor enhances whatever fillings you choose rather than competing with them, making them substantial enough for hearty sandwiches but not so dense that they overpower delicate ingredients.

Blood Orange Ice Cream Mochi

• Price: $4.99

These citrus-infused frozen treats are the perfect antidote to your spring sweet tooth. The chewy exterior contrasts beautifully with the sweet-tart ice cream center. They’re available for only a limited time, so be sure to stock up now.
