Hopping into the Easter season, Trader Joe’s shelves are blooming with fresh spring snacks, perfect for filling your annual Easter basket. Though most snacks follow a chocolatey trend, Trader Joe’s captures the vibrant spring feeling while adding a festive twist.
5: Trader Joe’s Break Apart Bunny
Despite being creative and interactive, the Trader Joe’s Break Apart Bunny ultimately disappoints and offers an unpleasant surprise within. Its milk chocolate shell is thin and flimsy, which makes it easy to break, but as a result, makes the bunny feel insubstantial and low-quality. When the bunny breaks apart, you’re met with a cluster of carrot gummies that unfortunately fall flat in flavor and texture. Overall, the chocolate and gummies do not complement each other well, and for 3.99 dollars, the Break Apart Bunny earns a rating of two out of five feathers.
4: Easter Joe-Joes
The Easter Joe-Joes are a festive twist on Trader Joe’s classic cookie sandwich, and are a perfect snack for any Easter celebration. While their flavor profile remains the same as the originals, these festive cookies stand out due to their beautiful decorative pastel colors and their seasonal appeal. Each cookie is coated in a thin layer of white chocolate, providing a satisfying crunch. Trader Joe’s has perfected the balance between creamy filling and crunchy chocolate cookies. Overall, these 3.99 dollar cookies are the perfect addition to anyone’s Easter basket and earn a rating of four out of five feathers.
3: Springle Jangle
Coming in an assortment of spring flavors, the Springle Jangle features a colorful array of snacks mixed together, much like a trail mix. Springle Jangle encapsulates the spring elements all in one bag. The textures and flavors are diverse, with crunchy pretzels, colorful candies, nutty peanut butter cups, and tasty cookie bark. Springle Jangles are always a flexible snack with something for everyone, though there’s nothing special about the snacks individually. Springle Jangle, going for 3.99 dollars, is a fantastic deal and earns a score of four out of five feathers.
2: Spring Gummies
Steering away from the rich chocolate eggs, the Spring Gummies offer a soft and chewy alternative. They come in three different flavors: Pineapple (yellow), green apple (green), and strawberry (pink). Although these gummies aren’t groundbreaking, they are a great staple and delicious snack that is a must-add to your Easter basket. For 3.49 dollars, these spring gummies earn themselves a four out of five feathers.
1: Trader Joe’s Chocolate Mousse Eggs
Ending on a high note, Trader Joe’s Chocolate Mousse Eggs are a people pleaser and perfect for any chocolate lover. Surrounded by a smooth chocolate shell, these eggs feature a layer of chocolate cake, topped with creamy mousse. The texture is velvety, allowing for a perfect combination of sweetness and rich chocolate in each bite. They are only 3.99 dollars for a pack of six, and for any chocolate lover, these are worth a try. This delightful treat receives five out of five feathers.
Although some treats were an immediate yes, and others a pass, Trader Joe’s spring edition snacks were well-executed and tasty. Any of these would be the perfect addition to someone’s easter basket or for someone to simply enjoy on their own.
