1. Hold The Cone Coffee Bean
The first item on our list can be found in the freezer section, and is a fresh take on a classic. The fan-favorite Hold The Cone that normally comes in vanilla and chocolate flavors now has a third sibling: Coffee Bean. Hold The Cones are the perfect sweet treat to close out the night with. Bite-sized ice cream cones coated in a layer of hard dark chocolate, these treats have only been elevated by the arrival of the new coffee-flavored ice cream.

7. Calabrian Chili Tomato Dumpling Soup
As much as we wish March meant spring temperatures every day, it’s really only warm for a select few days out of the month. The rest, we need something warm to ease the winter chill in the air, and the Trader Joe’s Calabrian Chili Tomato Dumpling Soup brings the perfect amount of heat. A creamy, tomato-y soup with bite-sized dumplings, this soup will thaw out any bad day. Serve it with the Trader Joe’s Garlic & Cheese Breadsticks for that extra comfort, and you’re all set for any last minute snow storms March may bring.
