The Best Trader Joe's Candies Added In September 2026

Fall is in full swing at Trader Joe's, as we've already seen from the store's range of pumpkin-based goodies as well as the array of snacks that popped up in September 2026. As the winter months inch closer, we start thinking about hunkering down, and what better than something sweet to see us through the darker part of the year? With perfect timing, TJ's has lifted the lid on a fresh crop of colorful, chocolatey candies for us all to grab.

There's something for everyone, whether a creamy caramel is your ride-or-die snack, you're a sucker for a sour gummy, or you prefer your candy with a distinctly savory bent. There's even a lip butter balm set that's candy jar-flavored for anyone who wants the sweet taste with none of the sugar! As always, all information about prices and availability was correct at the time of writing, but if there's something particular that's caught your eye, get in touch with your local Trader Joe's to make sure it's in stock.

Could the Belgian company potentially behind TJ's Pound Plus chocolate bars also be responsible for this small, but perfectly formed box of delights? It's a question to ponder as you work your way through the white choccies filled with hazelnut praline and crispy rice, two dark kinds, with caramel toffee and raspberry respectively, and a milk cup that's bursting with almond praline. At less than 5 bucks per box, they're the perfect gift for a loved one — including yourself!

Love the sweetness of apple crisp? Love milk chocolate? Then brace yourself for the greatest candy ever, thanks to these milk chocolate caramels, which couldn't be more fall-coded if they tried. Produced by an Irish chocolatier (rumored on social media to be Lily O'Briens), they're a sublime blend of rich milk chocolate, apple, and cinnamon-infused caramel, flecked with tiny apple pieces.

Call us greedy, but we'd find the quietest corner we could to scoff — er, we mean enjoy — these naughty-but-nice candies. They come from the United Kingdom, so we should probably call them chocolates, but in all honesty, one bite and you really won't care. You get 36 truffles for your money in white, milk, and dark chocolate, all infused with either London gin, Prosecco, Navy rum, or Scotch whisky. Unfortunately, these may not be available at all Trader Joe's stores due to their 5% alcohol by volume content.

This made us go "oooooh" as soon as we clapped eyes on it, and if you're someone who loves to combine sweet and savory foods, this one's for you! TJ's describes it as a "symphony of rich, buttery, nutty, grassy, spicy, savory, and sweet." We'd call it hella flavor. Does it look neat and pretty? No, but it's bark, and that's not its job. Could Trader Joe's have a new classic candy on its hands? You betcha.

There's nothing like a product that does what is says on the tin — or in this case, bag. Although it gives an ice cream vibe, these candies are actually almonds (the yummy, dry-roasted California kind) slathered in a coating made of everything you'd find in the classic summery dessert. Right down to the cherry on top. Each bag is balanced in favor of the ice cream-and-fudge-covered almonds, but you get plenty of fruit-flavored nuts too. They work as a sweet, salty snack, and as a fun dessert topping.

If you prefer your candies to have an old-school, zingy twist, Trader Joe's has got you covered. Freshly arrived from its German supplier comes this new candy that sits somewhere between a gummy and a taffy, and packs an impressive sugary, yet tart punch. You can even feel a little saintly as the sourness bounces around your tastebuds, because these confetti chews are made with fruit and veggie juices, as well as plant-based colorings, including spirulina and turmeric.

We're intrigued by these limited-time gummies, made by a French supplier, according to TJ's website. They have a liquid center that offers up either a sweet red apple flavor or a sour green one, but both are soft, chewy, and delightfully moreish. The over 6-ounce bag is small enough for grown-ups to stash in an office bag or purse, but big enough to keep little ones digging into it for days.

Could these Belgian chocolates (from a "renowned chocolatier") be any cuter? Each box contains an assortment of milk, dark, and white chocolate shapes, including a pumpkin, a leaf, a corncob, and an apple, with some colored using natural ingredients. There's an array of fillings to enjoy too, like almond praline and — our fave — caramel cream. Whether you eat them all yourself, share them, or use them as edible decorations, we think these are going to fly out of stores.

Who could possibly say no to these fun, Halloween-themed candies? If the punchy packaging doesn't catch your eye, how about this: These sour-yet-sweet bats 'n' cats are made with natural flavors and plant-based colors, and are suitable for vegetarians as they're gelatin-free. Keep your eyes peeled too for TJ's Halloween Gummies, which are perfect for kiddiwinks and are also made with fruit and veggie-based colours.

If, like us, you're already starting to stock up on treat-or-treating candies, don't sleep on a bag or seven of these seasonal minis from Trader Joe's. There are 24 per bag, with four individually wrapped varieties, including perennial faves like peanut and caramel, and nougat. Keep them away from the tribe until the big night, and if you have any left over (we did say if ...), they're perfect for tossing into lunchboxes or your office drawer.

Buy Trader Joe's Wicked Good Mini Chocolate Bars for $4.99.

You can keep the sweet angel and salty devil on your shoulders happy at snack time with this delicious combo. The savory elements are all top notch: Salted pretzel nuggets and flax seed-flecked corn chips — that's a mouthful, but a tasty one! Weighing in on the sweet side of this 10-ounce bag are freeze-dried bits of Pink Lady apple, as well as dark chocolate-coated caramel popcorn kernels, decorated mini pretzels, and mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups. Candy heaven!
