2. Almond Danish Kringle Pastry

This traditional Danish pastry took the coveted No. 2 spot. It’s a seasonal item, so be sure to scoop it up whenever you see it in stores.

3. Chocolate Hold the Cone! Mini Ice Cream Cones
- Price: $3.99
Trader Joe’s Hold the Cone! Mini Ice Cream Cones are the perfect size for when you just want a little something sweet. While they’re available in many flavors, the chocolate was the winner among shoppers.

4. Chocolate Chip Hold the Cone! Mini Ice Cream Cones
- Price: $3.99
If you’re not a fan of chocolate on chocolate, you may prefer the Chocolate Chip version of the Hold the Cone! dessert. This one features chocolate cones filled with chocolate chip ice cream, coated in chocolate.

5. Mint Chip Ice Cream
- Price: $4.99
Another winner from the frozen dessert aisle, shoppers voted the Mint Chip the top ice cream flavor available at Trader Joe’s. The store’s version is made from a simple mixture of cream, milk, sugar, egg yolks, peppermint extract and fudge chips — and lacks the green dye that usually gives mint ice cream its typical look.
