Jelly Bean Hearts
Trader Joe's offers jelly beans throughout the year, but now, shoppers can score something extra festive. Crafted by the same Irish candymaker that makes its standard jelly beans, these Jelly Bean Hearts, priced at $1.49, come in shades of red, pink, and white. As depicted in a video from @traderjoesobsessed, these cute candies come in four flavors: black currant, strawberry, cranberry, and coconut.
Valentine Sprinkle
If ice cream sundaes, cookies, or cupcakes are on your Valentine's Day menu this year, Trader Joe's has the perfect topping to add: Valentine Sprinkle. Made by the same supplier of its seasonal Christmas Sprinkle, these pink, red, and white morsels come in multiple styles, offering a dash of fun to any any confection. Each bag costs $1.99.
Chocolatey Dipping Kit
Round up your favorite fruits, cookies, and marshmallows. If you're looking for a delicious activity, Trader Joe's recently dropped a new Chocolatey Dipping Kit for $3.99. Each box includes two packets of chocolate discs—milk and dark—and two types of Valentine's Day-themed sprinkles. All you need to do is melt the chocolate and let the dipping and decorating begin!
As one shopper noted, "It was super easy to heat up; definitely fun if you wanna do something small with little prep."
Ricotta Cuoricini Ravioli
Ditch the cheesy pickup line and whip up some cheesy ravioli instead. Trader Joe's just brought back its Ricotta Cuoricini Ravioli, which earned high marks in a previous Eat This, Not That! taste test. Each pink, heart-shaped raviolo is stuffed with a mixture of ricotta cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a balsamic reduction. The rave reviews extend to social media, as well.
"These were amazing last year," one Instagram user wrote on a post from @traderjoeslist. "This was so freaking good!" another one added.
