Parmesan Pastry Pups
Trader Joe's Parmesan Pastry Pups have fans singing their praises, with one Redditor saying, "They are so good! We always keep them in the freezer, I find the pastry to be light and more delicate than traditional pups in a blanket."

Mini Vegetable Samosas
This isn't the first version of vegetable samosas Trader Joe's created. Now, with a new supplier, and determined to find a dough that creates a perfectly crispy, flaky outside, TJ's has another iteration of the classic that fans are ranking 10/10, no sauce needed. Full of curry-spiced peas, potatoes, carrots, onions, and lentils, these bites are such a treat at dinner parties that guests may think they're the main course.
