Trader Joe’s Fall Haul!

I already loved fall but now I love it even more living next to a Trader Joe’s! They have the cutest fall themed food and beauty care products. Pumpkin flavored anything and everything are my go-to's. Here are the items I got this season and what I thought about each one. 

Pumpkin Bread/Muffin Mix: This one was a must for me since pumpkin bread is my favorite. I made the muffins and they turned out pretty good. My oven did cook pretty hot, so I didn’t need to leave them in for the full time that the box instructed, just be aware of that. The flavor was super good though and tasted a lot like my favorite pumpkin bread from Kneaders. 

Apple Cider Donuts: I was skeptical at first about these, but they did not disappoint. I think this is my favorite fall item at Trader Joe’s! We heated ours up for about 10 seconds in the microwave and it made it warm and delicious. It has good apple and cinnamon flavor and the outside is covered in the perfect amount of cinnamon and sugar. They come with six in a container and I have heard you can freeze them, but ours were gone in two days. We have already gone back for another box. A definite try if you like apple cider donuts.  

Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese: When I checked out at Trader Joe's the cashier said that this was the best Mac and Cheese. I would say if you like seasoned mac and cheese then you will probably like it! It wasn't my favorite. I felt like it had too much seasoning and didn't have the best smell. I did like the noodles and texture though. It was easy to warm up and was plenty to eat for a meal. 

Fall Themed Chips: They have potato chips that look like ghosts and bats which are adorable. They also have Tortilla chips that look like fall leaves that are colored in red, orange and yellow. There is maple popcorn and pumpkin chips to pick from as well. We tried the Ghosts and Bats potato chips, they reminded me of a veggie straw chip. Not much flavor to them, just lightly salted. They are a cute little snack.

Pumpkin Bagels: I tried the gluten free version of the bagels, but they have regular pumpkin bagels as well. These ones weren’t my favorite, I think it was the texture for me. I don't eat gluten free, but I'm sure they would be better if I was use to eating like that. I did prefer eating it plain rather than with the pumpkin cream cheese though. 

Pumpkin Cream Cheese: The pumpkin cream cheese has a strong flavor of pumpkin in it. I tried it with the pumpkin bagel and it was a bit strong for me. I think it would be good on a plain regular bagel more than the pumpkin bagels. It is a perfect size of cream cheese and in cute packaging. 

Pumpkin Joe Joe's: Pumpkin Joe Joe’s are a cookie that you have to try a few times before you fall in love with them. My first cookie I was a bit disappointed and then I ate a few more, then I thought they were super good. The cookie and the filling are both pumpkin flavored which I really like. The filling is yummy on it's own too! They came out with a yogurt covered Pumpkin Joe Joe this year that I want to try!  

Pumpkin Face Mask: The pumpkin face mask is my new favorite face mask. It is an overnight mask, so you put it on before bed and then rinse your face in the morning. It has a smell of pumpkin and spices but isn’t too strong. There is a cooling sensation when you put it on your face and then it dries pretty quick as well. I feel like my face has been clearer and rejuvenated after using the mask.  

Petite Pumpkin Spice Cookies: If you are looking for a sweet snack these little cookies are perfect for that. It is a pumpkin spice cookie with a yogurt coating. The flavor is strong at first, but it is a good flavor. The cookies are really cute and of course the packaging is too. I really liked these cookies.

There are so many cute fall themed items at Trader Joe's. If I missed any of your favorites let me know!
