14 Trader Joe's 2026 Fall Sweet Treats That Aren't Pumpkin Or Pumpkin Spice Flavored
Fall is always overrun by pumpkin spiced lattes and the introduction of too many pumpkin-flavored foods — some of which probably never should have hit the market. If you're not a pumpkin person, Trader Joe's has you covered. The fan-favorite grocery store launches so many fall treats this time of year, and while many are pumpkin-flavored, we found 14 delicious fall treats flavored with anything but pumpkin.
Apple is an iconic fall flavor right up there with pumpkin, so a few of those are on the list, but we also found some tasty maple-forward treats that we had to include. Fall fruit flavors, such as plum, make up at least one or two of these choices, and there's a great balance between cookies, chocolates, and even donuts. If you're a TJ's fan who craves the warmth of fall flavors but longs to escape the world of pumpkin everything, treat yourself to one — or all — of these sweets.
Apple Crisp Milk Chocolate Caramels
This treat has all the flavors of an apple crisp, but it's wrapped in a milk chocolate caramel treat rather than in the typical baked dessert. These are finished with a streusel-like crunchy bottom, too.
The Apple Crisp Milk Chocolate Caramels are $5.99 per package.
Plum Torte
The Trader Joe's Plum Torte is a great dish to buy if you're hosting a fall brunch, or want a fruit-forward dessert to serve guests. The torte is frozen, so just bake it until it's warm. Serve it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you wish.
Grab the Plum Torte at Trader Joe's for $7.99.
Cinnamon Powdered Sugar Mini Donuts
These packaged donuts are perfect for grabbing a sweet fall treat on the go, for dipping into coffee, or even for enjoying as a post-breakfast dessert. They're coated in the perfect blend of cinnamon and sugar (always a winning donut combo) and offer a crumbly, yet dense, texture.
The Cinnamon Powdered Sugar Mini Donuts are at Trader Joe's for $4.49.
Autumn Leaf Sugar Cookies
Nothing says autumn like falling leaves. While the flavor of these sugar cookies is pretty standard, it's the shape that gives them the fall twist. These are great for adding to a dessert tray, or even as a sweet element of a charcuterie board.
The Autumn Leaf Sugar Cookies are available for $3.99 per box.
Apple Cider Donuts
What is fall without indulging in at least one or two apple cider donuts? These are often found at orchards and farmers markets, but Trader Joe's makes them easily accessible to anyone. If you toast these, or microwave them for just a few seconds to warm them up, you won't regret it.
The Apple Cider Donuts cost $4.99 per box.
Wicked Good Mini Chocolate Bars
These chocolate candies are perfect to hand out on Halloween. They have fall-themed wrapping foil and come in four flavors: nougat, nougat and caramel, peanut and caramel, and caramel and wafer. The trick or treaters should appreciate them, but don't forget to set a few aside for yourself.
Grab a bag of the Wicked Good Mini Chocolate Bars for $4.99.
Halloween Joe-Joe's Cookies
These cookies have pumpkin patterns, but we promise they aren't pumpkin flavored. The Halloween Joe-Joe's are similar to Oreos, but the filling is dyed orange, and each chocolate wafer has the face of a Jack-o'-lantern.
A bag of Halloween Joe-Joe's Cookies is available for $4.49.
Rustic Apple Tarte
The Rustic Apple Tarte is a frozen treat that makes your whole home smell like fall once it goes in the oven. It's made with both sweet and tart apples, combined with cinnamon, sugar, and cream cheese, all at the center of a flaky pastry. This is the perfect addition to a brunch, or a wonderful fall dessert when paired with ice cream.
The Rustic Apple Tarte costs $5.99.
All Butter Apple Shortbread Cookies
A melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookie is hard to resist. When it's apple flavored, it becomes the perfect fall snack. These are great for eating on their own, or for turning into mini fall ice cream sandwiches with a scoop of vanilla between each cookie.
The All Butter Apple Shortbread Cookies are available for $3.79 per package.
Salted Maple Ice Cream
Ice cream can (and should) be enjoyed any time of year, and this salted maple ice cream — made with real maple syrup — is the perfect way to indulge in the cooler fall months. A little sea salt balances out the sweetness. Enjoy this ice cream on its own, add a scoop to some hot chocolate, or smush it between those apple shortbread cookies.
The Salted Maple Ice Cream is available for $3.79 per pint.
Mini Maple Flavored Marshmallows
You might pop a handful of these mini marshmallows in your mouth for a quick snack, but they're better when baked into a dessert. The maple flavor makes these a great fall ingredient for mind-blowing Rice Krispie treats, but these also work with homemade brownies or even cupcakes.
The Mini Maple Flavored Marshmallows cost $2.99 per bag.
Maple Butterscotch Blondie Baking Mix
Maple blondies sound amazing, and we could see them becoming a yearly fall staple at TJ's. It's a boxed mix, but these aren't hard to put together (all you need to add is an egg and some melted butter), and you can tell your friends they're sort of homemade. The maple and butterscotch flavors really go to work here.
The Maple Butterscotch Blondie Baking Mix costs $4.99.
Harvest Chocolate Collection
The Harvest Chocolate Collection is the perfect host or hostess gift for the fall season. The chocolates are just as pretty as they are tasty, and there are nine to a box. It includes milk, dark, and white chocolates in fun fall shapes, with an assortment of fillings and flavors including caramel and hazelnut.
The Harvest Chocolate Collection is available for $5.49.
Pumpkins Sugar Cookie Dough
This treat is great when you want the house to smell like sugar cookies, but don't want to make them from scratch. There are pumpkins, yes, but no pumpkin flavor. The sugar cookies are a break-and-bake style that come premeasured and ready for the oven.
Grab a package of Pumpkins Sugar Cookie Dough for $3.99.
