Trader Joe’s Chocolate Mousse Pumpkins
Grade: A
These things are absolutely ridiculous. I was hesitant on grabbing them, but thank god I did. They are about 1” Thick, but they are chocolate cream filled pumpkin cookies and they have a mousse filling. Think about taking a moist chocolate cake and throwing it inside a pumpkin shaped cookie with layers of chocolate. These things are deadly good, and what is crazy these are only around 120 calories.
Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Cookies
The cookies are crispy and crunchy...and pack a lot of pumpkin spice flavor. In addition to fall spices, the cookies definitely have a yogurt pretzel quality, minus the salt. Good to have on hand when you're craving a little hit of pumpkin spice. Think about a yogurt coated pumpkin cookie, it just does not hav a whole lot of pumpkin spice going on. That's ok, but it still is a good cookie and worth the grab. These are small cookies, but delicious and very moist/soft.
Grade: B+
Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Granola Bark
The crunchy granola is made with oats, almonds, quinoa, cornflakes, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin purée, Vermont maple syrup, coconut oil, and pumpkin season spices. It’s pressed flat and baked, then generously spread with rich dark chocolate (66% cacao), and topped with maple-sea salt-seasoned pumpkin seeds. If you ever had Cowboy bark this stuff is just as good if not better if you are a pumpkin fan. The chocolate coating at the bottom is a very rich and dark chocolate. For dark chocolate lovers this is a must. The granola is loaded with flavor that has a sweet aspect from the maple syrup, and then the savory aspect of all the pumpkin spices. You are hit with a lot of different flavors, but it meshes together really well. Its amazing how these are in the stores and off the shelves in 2 weeks. I see why, they are huge sellers.

White Fudge Covered Oreo’s
Invalid Link Removed
Plain and simple – its just an Oreo cookie getting dumped on with white chocolate. While it may seem basic, it can go very well with the sweet cream center. The Cookies are pretty darn thick, and pack a punch of flavor. The White chocolate goes very well with the chocolate shell to give you the best of both worlds if you like white chocolate. Just picture a regular oreo dunked in white chocolate and then hardended. . The rich taste of white chocolate/fudge, sweet and creamy, which then mixed with the bitter taste of the chocolate cookie and the super sweet creme filling. It was sort of like eating an inside-out Oreo cookie, to be honest. It seems like the cream filling is a bit shy compared to a regular oreo, but the outside coating makes up for it. A must grab, and for only 100 calories its nothing to complain about.

Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Caramel Corn.
Invalid Link Removed
The caramel corn texture is exactly as you would expect it to be. Very crispy , crunchy, and packs a lot of flavor. The pumpkin spice flavor is there, but it is not very strong. It's sweet more than spicy, and slightly more caramel than pumpkin, I'd say. Pumpkin seeds add a nice nuttiness to the product and blend well with the salty aspects of the corn. If you like Caramel corn its hard to really pick up on the amount of pumpkin and pumpin spices in here. You really get more of the caramel corn aspect with minimal hints of pumpkin. Even those who are not huge pumpkin fans should enjoy this product. Needs more pumpkin IMO
Grade: B
Trader Joe’s Pumpkin-y pumpkin bites
They taste like above-average pumpkin cookies. Lets not confused these with the Choolate/mouse layered pumpkin cookies though which were far superior. They're nice and soft, and the coating of brown sugar and spices on the top gives them just a hint of a firmer, almost crunchy texture. They combine the elements of pumpkin flakes, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spices to give you a tri-fecta of flavors. These are good if you like very soft pumpkin bites, but could use some more flavor in each and every bite. Some of these tasted a bit stale in the flavor, which was a bit of a turnoff. They are not bad, but nothing to write home about. Worth a pickup

Double Chocolate Chip & Blueberry Muffin:
Invalid Link Removed
This place literally has a full sized room based off just desserts. Roommate bought these for me. These were so moist, fresh, and melt in your mouth it was insane. The blueberries goosed in your mouth and the chocolate chips were melting biting into the muffins. The chocolate was so rich my head started to spin. Almost reminded me of straight dark chocolate. The amount of cinnamon sugar on the blueberry went perfect with the muffin. All in all these were solid. Maybe I was just starved after dieting for 6 months, but these were GOLD

Super moist, rich, and milk chocolate base loaded with a peanut butter filling, chocolate glaze, and a full reese peanut butter cup
