no tricks, all treats favorite finds at Trade Joe's

PUMPKIN CEREAL BARS

Delicious and convenient, these bars checked every box for an on the go snack. The pumpkin flavor filling wasn’t super strong, but it was definitely there. They do taste a lot better than most cereal bars I’ve tried and are the perfect size. “If you’re going to buy regular bars anyway, you might as well switch it up with this festive option,” said Phoebe Griffiths, a second year studying computer science.

PUMPKIN OAT BEVERAGE

As someone who is always going the alternate milk

route, I was more than eager to try this when Jordan Kennerary, a sophomore studying health communications, recommended it. “This creamer is the epitome of fall,” Kennerary said“It’s creamy without being overpowering; be prepared to make the best drinks of your life.”

BUTTERNUT SQUASH MAC & CHEESE

The cashier was shocked when scanning this item but not for the reasons you might think. He told me he was surprised there were even any left, and now I completely understand why. The squash puree and three-cheese mix melts effortlessly, forming a mouthwatering combination with the pasta. I will totally be buying this again, no questions asked. Thanks Todd (the wonderful cashier)!

PUMPKIN SPICE HUMMUS I had no idea what I thought this hummus would taste

like, but I was definitely not prepared. It’s absolutely delicious. After three days, my roommates and I have devoured just about the entire tub. Julia Walker, a sophomore public health major, described the hummus as undeniable and addictive. “The dip is the perfect combination of a rich, sweet and fluffy pumpkin pie filling,”she said.

PUMPKIN GINGER “HOLD THE CONE”

These ice cream cones are another level entirely. I audibly let out an “oh my god” on the first bite. 10000/10. That is all.
