I’ve eaten most of Trader Joe’s seasonal fall foods. These are the 10 you actually must try.

• Some of the best things to buy this season are the pumpkin-spice Pretzel Slims and pepita salsa.
• I really enjoy Trader Joe’s pumpkin rolls and pumpkin-spice hummus. 

I buy several cans of Trader Joe’s pumpkin rolls to keep in my freezer all season long.

The pumpkin-spice Pretzel Slims are a perfect snack.

Whether you’re an experienced baker or have never used an oven, this pumpkin-bread mix is great to have on hand.

The loaf takes less than an hour to bake, and it’s so full of flavor that it totally rivals the ones offered at my favorite local coffee shop.

Nutmeg and clove dominate the flavor profile, but I can still clearly taste the cinnamon and actual pumpkin. I think it also tastes like it contains a hint of brown sugar (or something molasses-like) that deepens those spices beautifully.

Best of all, it isn’t overly sweet. I regularly pair a slice with my morning coffee between the months of September and December.
