From returning seasonal items like all the pumpkin spice goodies to brand new foods that we get to try for the first time, there’s always something delicious to look forward to at Trader Joe’s. This month is no different. In fact, fall is arguably the best time to shop at Trader Joe’s. And believe it or not, there’s a lot more to look forward to than just pumpkin-flavored pastries! Below, we’ve rounded up a few of the best options you can find on shelves this October, from savory to sweet.
1. Garlic & Asiago Cheese Dip
Who doesn't love a good dip?! Whether you're hosting a Friday Night Football party or just putting together a tasty "girl dinner" for yourself, it's never a bad time to indulge in some creamy cheese dip. And when your cravings for something truly delicious pop up, Trader Joe's has you covered. This new Garlic & Asiago cheese dip features sour cream, cream cheese, mozzarella, and asiago. All you need to do is warm it up and serve it with your dip vehicle of choice, whether that's your favorite chip or some healthy veggies. Find it in the refrigerated section!

2. Caramel Apple Mochi
Trader Joe's knows how to make a great mochi. We can't forget the cult-favorite Ube Mochi that we look forward to every year, but this fall rendition is equally unique and tasty. If you love a good, crunchy, gooey caramel apple, we're going to bet you'll love this Caramel Apple Mochi, too. The ice cream is flavored with apple purée, apple juice concentrate, and caramel, and the rice dough is perfectly chewy and tasty. If you're a fan, we definitely recommend stocking up on a few boxes, because they'll only be in stores for a limited time this fall.
3. Brigadeiros
Attention, chocolate lovers! You'll definitely want to get your hands on Trader Joe's Brigadeiros before they're gone this year. These chocolate, Brazilian truffles are made right in Portugal. They feature condensed milk, cream, cocoa, and cultured butter, all blended together and rolled in chocolate sprinkles for a delicious, rich treat that you're going to want to eat a whole box of. And why shouldn't you? Chocolate has health benefits, right?
4. Truffle Glaze
Truffle is all the rage lately; fans of the rich, umami flavor should give this Trader Joe's balsamic glaze a try. It combines the unbeatable flavor of black truffle with authentic Aceto Balsamico di Modena, and it tastes great on pizza, pasta, or even mixed into a dressing for your favorite healthy salad. Trader Joe's even recommends trying it out on a bowl of vanilla ice cream. Don't knock it 'til you try it!
5. Double Chocolate Croissants
If Trader Joe's knows how to do anything, it's make a delicious pastry. These Double Chocolate Croissants are no different. Shoppers can't get enough of 'em! Found in the freezer section, these bad boys feature layers of crispy, cocoa-y croissant dough. And as if that wasn't chocolatey enough, they're also filled with two sticks of semi-sweet chocolate. The really fun part is that you can play bakery by leaving the frozen dough out overnight to proof; in the morning, they'll be twice the size and ready to bake in your oven. Easy, delicious, and perfect for all the chocolate lovers out there.
