These 13 Halloween Snacks From Trader Joe's Are Scary Good

Fans of blended salty-sweet snacks will dig into this seasonal popcorn. With the crunch of traditional corn and the vanilla-caramel flavor of the candy variety, they're sure to please even people who hate candy corn. TJ's is offering them for $2 a bag.

Nothing creepy or crawly about these spiders. The colorful gummy candy is chewy, slightly sour, and priced right at $2. Buy a few bags to pour into a bowl and serve at your Halloween party.

Some ghosts go "Boo," but the ones from Trader Joe's go "crunch" — and so do their bats, for that matter. Their holiday version of their popular potato-crisp snack ($2 per bag) comes in fun shapes that will get your goblins gobblin'. A bonus: They're gluten-free, too!

"Spooky" is a bit of an exaggeration; the only thing scary about these shortbread-style sugar cookies is how quickly they'll disappear once you get them home. The $4 assortment is just the thing to go with a cup of tea or hot cocoa on a chilly fall afternoon.

Trader Joe's famous store-brand sandwich cookies get the Halloween treatment once a year. The seasonal treats come in four jack o'lantern patterns, but don't let the "costume" fool you. Underneath the disguise is the same familiar combo of chocolate wafers and vanilla-bean cream. Selling for $3 per one-pound box.

In addition to their Spider Gummies, Trader Joe's has a mini-bag assortment of gummy candy. Made by a French confectioner, they contain no gelatin (vegans take note) and are colored with natural plant extracts. The pouches are perfect for tossing into kids' lunch boxes or into your purse for the midday hungries.

Let the trick-or-treaters have their mini-candy bars and lollipops. This is a big-kid treat. The decadent Belgian chocolate comes in an assortment of seven autumn designs, all with rich nut-praline or caramel fillings. A box sells for $4.

Can't get enough holiday Joe-Joe's? TJ's has you covered. In addition to their jack o'lantern version, they offer pumpkin cream-filled sandwich cookies ($3) that just beg to be served alongside a glass of milk.

For those who like their treats bite-sized, these mini pumpkin-shaped cookies are rich with nutmeg and allspice, coated with either white yogurt icing or pumpkin-spiced orange frosting. Further proving that good things come in small packages, the cookies aren't an over-the-top indulgence. They're going for $3 per box.

In true Halloween fashion, these mini-cakes ($4) only look orange-flavored. The pumpkin-colored fondant icing disguises the indulgent chocolate layer cake underneath. Adding to the treat: the creamy chocolate mousse between the cake layers. Great for a snack or an after-dinner treat.

A brand-new addition to the TJ's Halloween mix is this extravaganza of a candy bar ($3). The milk chocolate bark on the bottom is topped with candy corn, candy gems, and chocolate eyeballs, plus pieces of Joe-Joe's Cookies. Break off a piece when the afternoon slump strikes, or be nice and share it among your family or friends.

The popular black-and-white cookie gets a Halloween makeover from Trader Joe's. Soft and moist vanilla cake cookies ($4 per box) are decorated with a half-black, half-orange frosting. You and the kids can debate which half is best saved for last.

Into seasonal flavors, but can't do dairy? Trader Joe's has you covered here, too. Pour a glass of this totally dairy-free almond-based beverage, thickened with real pumpkin purée and flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg. Hot or cold, it's like Halloween in a glass. Each carton retails for $3.
