Trader Joe’s Fall Haul: Pumpkin Hummus Crisis & Mac & Cheese Bliss

Savanna Swain-Wilson, the self-proclaimed celeb of chewing Trader Joe's fall lineup, has committed years to sampling every festive treat from pumpkin-spice pretzel Slims to butternut-squash mac and cheese—the frozen indulgence that microwaves itself to artful al dente perfection with Gouda-cheddar-Parmesan teamwork. She's practically crossed fingers praying the pumpkin-and-ginger Hold the Cone ice cream doesn't vanish. The diva dip? Pumpkin-spice hummus, unexpectedly fabulous and thick enough to double as a Thanksgiving therapy session. Pepita salsa brings smoky-chipotle garlic heat balanced with pepita protein virtue signaling, while pumpkin-cranberry crisps elevate cheese boards from sad snack time to haute cuisine. A true autumnal saga of taste buds and saving fall in a freezer aisle near you.
