Trader Joe’s Just Dropped A $4 Dessert That Shoppers Say Is “The Best” Easter Treat

Lofthouse Soft Spring Frosted Sugar Cookies

These super soft cookies are way too easy to shovel into your mouth – and sometimes, that's just what you need. This $4 dozen is geared up for spring with a darling butter yellow frosting and plenty of rainbow sprinkles that bring on all the festive feels. They're perfect for bringing to the office to share with your coworkers or just keeping around at home when a sugary snacking session calls to you.

Baker's Corner Strawberry White Chocolate Blondie Mix

Name a better spring flavor combo than strawberry and white chocolate, we dare you! All this $3 blondie mix asks of you is adding one egg, some butter, and water, then baking it up to dessert-y perfection. This treat would be stunning at an outdoor potluck after you've downed a satisfying amount of hot dogs and spring cocktails.

Benton's Belgian Chocolate Easter Cookies

Easter is upon us, after all! These $3 cookies are such a tasty way to celebrate, too, since they come ready to snack on in festive egg and bunny shapes. Each one is delightfully dipped in Belgian chocolate and coated in sprinkles for added crunch. These would totally amp up any Easter-themed charcuterie board or dessert spread, thanks to their cute shapes!

Bake Shop Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies

Eek – we need to be eating these, ASAP. Filled with an insanely sweet cream cheese filling, this $5 Aldi dessert find boasts two thick, chewy, carrot cake-flavored cookies that form a yummy little dessert sandwich.

Jar Joy Death By Chocolate Cheesecake Jar

We love chocolate so much that the phrase "death by chocolate" doesn't even scare us much anymore. That's why we're absolutely stoked to snag this $1.49 jar stuffed with chocolate cheesecake! It's presented in the best way possible – a single serving – meaning you definitely don't have to share.

Bake Shop Blueberry & Cherry Strip Danish

Yummm. We definitely want to keep this pre-baked danish in our kitchen for an easy breakfast to enjoy with our morning coffee (or as a cheeky midnight snack, if we're being honest). With brighter notes of both blueberry and cherry, each bite is filled with plenty of springtime flair. Plus, it's topped with a sweet sugary glaze that makes every serving taste like heaven!

Choceur Easter Mini Chicks Shaped Chocolates

Stop, these are so cute! Shaped like lil' chicks and wrapped in coordinating foils, these Easter chocolates bring spring joy no matter when or how you enjoy them. They'd be excellent as Easter basket stuffers, too!

1. Use them as spreads for sandwiches or wraps.

2. Use them as pasta sauces.

3. Stir them into soups.

Adding creamy dips like TJ’s Vegan Tzatziki Dip to certain soups can be such a fun way to add the desired texture you want, all while getting playful with the exact flavors. Any creamier dip can easily be stirred into your soup’s broth or you can top off your bowl with a heaping spoonful!

4. Add them to baked potatoes.

I need you to try this TJ’s dip hack as soon as possible. Topping a baked potato with either the Pimento Cheese Dip or the Everything And the Elote Greek Style Yogurt Dip in place of cheese or sour cream is insanely tasty – you won’t want to eat your ‘taters any other way.

5. Use them as pizza sauces or toppings.

Just like you spread them on sammies and wraps, certain Trader Joe’s dips meld well as pizza sauces or toppings. I’ve used their Reduced Guilt Spinach & Kale Greek Yogurt Dip as a ‘white’ sauce before, topping my pizza with mozzarella, artichokes, and olives for an insanely tasty meal. You could also top a Mediterranean flatbread with dollops of TJ’s Crunchy Chili Onion Hummus for a spicy flair!

6. Turn them into salad dressings.

7. Use them for stuffed mushrooms or peppers.

8. Use them as marinades.

9. Add them as fillings for breads or pastries.

Certain Trader Joe’s dips can also be baked into focaccia or sourdough loaves. I’ve never tried it myself, but I think the Pimento Cheese Dip could be stunning with something more savory. Their Sweet Cannoli Dip would be iconic in sweeter bakes like croissants or babka!

What are some popular Severance season 3 theories?

During a panel at Bell Works in New Jersey (where the show is filmed), Britt Lower revealed a theory the whole Severance cast is "getting a kick out of [is] Ricken being a goat," she tells People. "I think that's everyone's collective theory. You never know."

Michael Chernus (who plays Ricken in the show) says that "people have all kinds of theories about Ricken that he's a goat or that he's an Eagan or he's part of the board. I think, you know, we don't see a ton of Ricken in season 2, so I think the fact that he isn't around much makes him seem very suspicious to some people."

Fans love getting caught up in the theories, but for the team behind-the-scenes, it's a little tricky to navigate. "You have to like take all that with a grain of salt and sort of appreciate that everybody has different ideas, but we have to have our own sort of clear idea of what we're doing that is independent of that," executive producer Ben Stiller says.

However, that doesn’t mean he turns a blind eye to online chatter, saying, “I'll read a theory and I'll be like, 'Oh I wish we were making that show because that sounds cool.' But generally, I have to sort of turn the other way," creator Dan Erickson agrees.

Is there a season 3 of Severance coming?

Yes, Apple TV renewed Severance for a season 3 on March 21, 2025.

“Making Severance has been one of the most creatively exciting experiences I’ve ever been a part of,” executive producer and director Ben Stiller says in a statement. He jokes that, “While I have no memory of this, I’m told making season three will be equally enjoyable, though any recollection of these future events will be forever and irrevocably wiped from my memory as well.”

“I couldn’t be more excited to get back to work with Ben, Dan, the incredible cast and crew, Apple and the whole Severance team,” executive Adam Scott (who also plays Mark) adds. “Oh hey also — not a huge deal — but if you see my innie, please don’t mention any of this to him. Thanks.”

When is Severance season 3 coming out?

We don't have an official Severance season 3 release date yet, but we do know it won't take another three years for new episodes to come out. (We all remember the three-year wait between seasons 1 and 2).

During an appearance on New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Ben Stiller promises that "the plan is not, definitely not" to release Severance season 3 in 2028.

Who's in the Severance season 3 cast?

Based on the end of season 2, we can include the Severance season 3 cast to include all our favorite stars:

• Adam Scott as Mark Scout: a Lumon employee leading his team in Macrodata Refinement (MDR). In the real world he's mourning his late wife Gemma.
• Britt Lower as Helena Eagan/Helly R.: one of Mark's coworkers with a shocking outie identity: she's the daughter of Lumon's CEO.

What happens at the end of Severance season 2?

The Severance season 2 ending is truly devastating. In the final moments of the episode, outie Mark and Gemma finally reunite in the moment we've been waiting literal years for. They decide to make their escape, but when they slip back into their innie selves, Mark S. decides he doesn't want to sacrifice himself for his outie. He stays with Helly at Lumon while Gemma (who had managed to escape, reverting to her outie self) looks on, screaming his name and beating on the door.

Where does Severance film?

Severance has been filmed in locations like New Jersey's Bell Labs, as well as various locations around New York, including York Studios, Kingston, Nyack, Marine Park Golf Course, Ulster County, and Beacon.
