There are many Trader Joe’s bestsellers that shoppers consistently swear by, and they all deserve a spot in your cart. Here are some of our favorites:

• Steamed Pork and Ginger Soup Dumplings: Delicious and easy to make with a satisfying bit of soup in every bite.
• Kimbap: This Korean tofu and vegetable seaweed rice roll is a mega-size vegetarian maki that’s viral for a reason.
• 5 Cheese Greek Spiral: The phyllo is light and crispy and the cheese is rich and warm, which really makes for the perfect snack or party plate.
• Crunchy Chili Onion Hummus: Chili crunch and hummus is a marriage made in heaven.
• Mandarin Orange Chicken: This has been a bestseller for years, thanks to its incredible crunch and not-too-sweet sauce. Also, a crowd-pleaser for kids, which is a bonus.
• Chicken Spring Rolls: Crispy on the outside and packed with herby flavor on the inside, these are the perfect party snack.
• Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups: Be careful not to pull these out as a TV snack — they disappear way too fast.
• Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce: Made with Calabrian chili peppers, this sauce packs a sweet heat that subtly builds.
• Chili and Lime Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips: For kids who love Takis.
• Artichoke and Jalapeno Dip: Artichoke dip is already great, but adding a little heat with jalapenos? Chef's kiss.
• Spanokopita: Our Greek Executive Editor says the Trader Joe’s version comes very close to the taste of an authentic Greek spinach pie.
• Chocolate Croissants: Leaving them out to raise overnight makes for fluffy yet crispy authentic chocolate croissants.
