The Trader Joe’s Goodies Every Galentine’s Day Gathering Needs

If all you want on Valentine's Day is to host a swoon-worthy party with cheesy appetizers and chocolatey desserts, you can make it happen without doing any cooking, courtesy of Trader Joe's. We're *very* into the pre-cooked shareable bites that make for a low-stress and extremely satisfying Galentine's Day feast. Most of these treats are ready to serve straight from the package, and they'll all make your guests say, "I love you."

Organic White Truffle Potato Chips ($3):Cocktail hour would be incomplete without these funky, salty, crispy potato chips. Put them in a big bowl by the wine station.

Cheddar Cheese Sticks ($3): Put a glass of these crunchy cheddar straws by the drinks area, too. The savory cheesiness will cut through any too-strong martini or margarita.

Cheese Party Tray ($5): Avoid long lines behind the cheese board with conveniently pre-sliced Colby Jack, Swiss, mild cheddar, and pepper Jack cheeses.

Italian Deli Selection ($5): Speaking of cheese board, no spread is complete without thinly sliced Italian meats like salami, prosciutto, and capocollo.

Fruit & Nut (& Other Stuff) Crisps ($4): These versatile crisps will pair with just about any cheese (like nutty manchego) or spread (sweet fig jam!) you serve.

Chèvre With Honey ($3): Be sure to leave room on the board for this smooth, tangy goat cheese which pairs especially well with berries.

Antipasto Cherry Tomatoes ($3): These slowly dried, olive-oil-and-oregano-soaked cherry tomatoes will count as your fruit for the day, even if you serve them with mozzarella and focaccia.

Parmesan Pastry Pups ($4): A slightly more adult version of pigs in a blanket, these smoky, cheesy bites will get the festivities bumpin.'

Spanakopita Filled With Spinach, Ricotta, and Feta Cheese ($4): Be sure to buy a few extra boxes of these three-bite wonders. The flaky exterior and gooey interior tend to make people go in for seconds.

Pastry Bites With Feta Cheese and Caramelized Onions ($5): These classy poppers get their great taste from the feta and sweet onions, mellowed out by the buttery pastry crust.

Mushroom and Black Truffle Flatbread With Mozzarella Cheese ($4): This crispy, gooey, aromatic flatbread tastes expensive. Topped with glorious amounts of melted mozzarella, it's the ideal party food.

Gluten-Free Cheese Pizza With a Cauliflower Crust ($5): Even those avoiding gluten can join the pizza party with this lower-carb pie topped with herby tomato sauce and mozzarella and provolone cheeses.

Macarons ($5): TJ's selection of macarons means you can match your dessert to your party's color scheme: black and white (chocolate and vanilla) or pastel multicolor (fig, lemon, apricot, coconut, pistachio, and salted caramel).

Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies ($4): There is nothing quite like a melt-in-your-mouth hazelnut cookie to remind you that love is real.

Ice Cream Bon Bons With Chocolate Cookie Crust ($4): These crunchy-creamy bites allow you to serve ice cream without hauling out bowls and spoons, so you won't have to miss a single moment of your own party.

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups ($4): You might feel like your cart is at capacity, and that's fair. But when the carton of these crispy-on-the-outside, light-on-the-inside treats magically disappears at your party, you'll know buying it was the right decision.
