One of our favorite things about Trader Joe’s (on top of the great prices on produce, friendly staff, and their incredible selection of unique sweet treats) is the fact that they’re constantly adding brand new items to shelves. Their returning seasonal items alone are enough to get excited about, but being able to try fresh finds each month is definitely the icing on the cake.
This summer, there’s no shortage of new products on the shelves—and we can’t wait to get our hands on them. Below, we’ve rounded up a few of the ones we’re most excited about, so that you can add them to your shopping list, too.

1. Pickle Cheese Curds
We love pickles, and we love cheese—but we’ve never thought of combining them. Of course, though, Trader Joe’s thinks of everything. Including these Pickle Cheese Curds. It’s safe to say this cult-favorite grocery store is no stranger to pickle-flavored goodies, and we’re a big fan of all their dill-icious products, so we have high expectations for these curds. But what do you think: has the pickle-craze gone too far, or is this a match made in heaven?
2. Tangerine Cream Bars
If you tend to prefer treats on the sweet side, you may be excited to hear about this next item on the list. TJ's is always rolling out the best frozen desserts around, and it seems they've done it again. These new Tangerine Cream Bars are fruity, creamy, and totally delicious. The description on the Trader Joe's website is enough to make our mouths water: "We’ve employed tangerine sorbet in place of the more traditional orange to deliver a tartness that pairs dreamily with the sweet creamy interior." We'll take ten boxes, please!
3. Dark Chocolate Pineapple Sticks
Craving some chocolate to go with your fruity snack? Trader Joe's has the perfect option for you, too. Introducing Dark Chocolate Pineapple Sticks. This is a limited-time candy you'll definitely want to stock up on. The TJ's website tells us that they feature "soft, silky, delightfully chewy, Pineapple-flavored center, coated in a rich, sturdy, delicious Dark Chocolate shell." Sounds delightful! Although reviews are mixed, many commenters on an Instagram post from @traderjoeslist seem to agree: "These are seriously amazing!"

4. Snacky Clusters
If you've ever struggled to decide whether you wanted something salty or sweet to snack on, these Snacky Clusters from Trader Joe's are the answer to all of your prayers. They combine the best of all worlds by combining an array of classic TJ's snacks: Sea Salt Potato Chips, Corn Chip Dippers, and Mini Pretzel Nuggets. The best part? It's all mixed together and coated with milk chocolate. It's really better than our wildest dreams.
5. Chunky Garlic and Jalapeno Hot Sauce
Okay, now something for the spice lovers who have been patiently waiting. It's time to put this Chunky Garlic and Jalapeno Hot Sauce on your radar! Trader Joe's says this thick sauce "effortlessly balances savory and spicy, salty and sour, chunky and pourable, all in a way that makes it a marvelous match for tacos, eggs, nachos, potatoes, and pretty much anything else that could use an extra kick of flavor." In short, we'll be putting it on basically everything.
