Milk Chocolate Covered Honeycomb Candy

Trader Joe's is celebrating the season with these bright, citrusy sandwich cookies, which cost $5.99. Each one features two shortbread cookies and a layer of lemon-flavored jam.

"I ate the entire box in less than 24 hours. They taste……SO GOOD! lol," one Reddit user raved.
