Milk Chocolate Covered Honeycomb Candy

Social media users have compared this item to multiple candy products, including Violet Crumble, an Australian candy bar, as well as Cadbury's Crunchie Bar. Additionally, Instagrammer @traderjoeslist, who raved about this new product, noted the texture is similar to a Butterfinger.

Lemon Flower Cookies

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.
