Trader Joe’s is a fun place to shop if you want to taste-test all sorts of seasonal goods. This year, Valentine’s Day is no exception.
And the good news? You can stock up on these items without breaking your budget and enjoy them all year. Most of these items are on shelves for a limited time, so grab them while you can. Here are several Valentine’s Day items you can freeze or hide away to enjoy all year.
Conversation Hearts Candies
- Price: $0.99
These conversation hearts candies are similar to the heart candies you can find in most stores around Valentine’s Day, but with a Trader Joe’s twist. The hearts come with terms like “LOVE,” “WOW,” “YUM,” “FAVE” and “TJ’S” in a pastel mix of white, pink and yellow hues. Use them as a decoration or bring them to school for Valentine’s Day celebrations. Because they’re available for only a limited time, grab a few boxes to snack on well after Valentine’s Day.
Jelly Bean Hearts
- Price: $1.49
These jelly bean hearts are a sweet classic Valentine’s Day treat you can munch on all year or share with loved ones, or you can have the kids pass them out at school. They’re made with natural flavors and come in pink, white and red hues from fruit and vegetable extracts.
Dark Chocolate Caramel Hearts
- Price: $1.99
Trader Joe’s dark chocolate caramel hearts are made with caramel that’s coated with a shell of polished dark chocolate. You can enjoy them as they are or use them as a garnish for a Valentine’s Day dessert. Trader Joe’s recommends pairing the hearts with a cup of coffee.
Sugared Rice Cracker Hearts
- Price: $2.49
Looking for something besides chocolate? These sugared rice cracker hearts come in a bag of a 50/50 mix of white and red hearts dipped in a light layer of soy sauce and honey, sprinkled with coarse sugar crystals for some sparkle. Enjoy them on their own or add to a snack spread to share with loved ones throughout the year.
Milk Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Hearts
- Price: $4.49
These seasonal milk chocolate covered marshmallow hearts come with pink strawberry-flavored marshmallow hearts coated in a thin layer of chocolate. These are perfect to eat as-is, or you can throw them in a mug of hot chocolate for a sweet, melty treat. They also work well as a Valentine’s dessert add-on or a small gift paired with coffee or cocoa.
Dark Chocolate Bark
- Price: $5.49
Nothing quite says Valentine’s Day like chocolate. If you’re looking for something a little different, this dark chocolate bark from Trader Joe’s delivers. Every piece of chocolate bark is packed with puffed quinoa and freeze-dried raspberries. Enjoy now, throw it in the freezer or hide it away in the kitchen to enjoy whenever you wish.
