Easter Sunday is a big day for chocolate bunnies, candy-filled plastic eggs, jelly beans, and of course, brunch. Whether you're heading over to your family's house or hosting your friends for a pastry-filled get-together, building out snacks and drinks can feel like a total pain. Fortunately, Trader Joe's is stocked up on new spring items for 2024, fruity breakfast croissants, fresh salad mixes, and the like to make your celebration easy-breezy. Here are the 10 best Trader Joe's spring item to bring to your upcoming Easter brunch.
1. Mini Chocolate Chip Croissant Swirls
These new Trader Joe's Mini Chocolate Chip Croissant Swirls are sure to be a hit. After all, what's brunch without a few pastries? These are ready-to-bake and ready to be gobbled up before the breakfast casserole comes out.
2. Salted Caramel Swirl Danish
If you can't be bothered to bake anything, just secure your own Salted Caramel Swirl Danish from TJ's baked goods section. Filled with rich ribbons of salted caramel custard, your friends and family won't be able to resist this tempting morning treat.
3. Springle Jangle
Christmas gatherings often call for Jingle Jangle, so obviously, Easter celebrations call for Springle Jangle. This mix of yogurt-covered pretzels, candied peanuts, milk/dark mini peanut butter cups, dark chocolate bits with Joe Joe's, nonpareils with spring-colored sprinkles, and spring candy gems is good for keeping out in little bowls all around the party.
4. Lemon Mini Sheet Cake
Spring time calls for citrus-laced delights, and that includes this divine mini lemon cake. Even brunch calls for a little bit of dessert. Trader Joe's is also selling lemon scones and Madeleine cookies in its baked goods section, too.
5. Orange Peach Mango Juice
Level up your morning mimosa game with more than orange juice. The orange peach mango juice is a personal fave, but TJ's also has strawberry lemonade, sparkling watermelon juice, and more fun options. Don't forget to grab Prosecco for $9 in Trader Joe's wine aisle.
6. Hashbrowns
Hasbrowns and brunch go hand in hand. These make the perfect addition as a brunch side item or as an appetizer. Just fry or air fry your hashbrowns, top with avocado or your choice of breakfast meats.
7. Lemony Arugula Basil Salad Kit
Not all salad kits are created equal. IMHO, this Lemony Arugula Basil Salad Kit is top-of-the-line when it comes to springtime flavors and freshness. Pro-tip, buy two bags if you have a lot of people to serve.
8. Crunchy Chili Onion Hummus
You can never go wrong with bringing a good dip to the event, including this Crunchy Chili Onion Hummus from Trader Joe's. It has a little bit of a kick for your mid-morning meal. Don't forget to grab some naan crackers or pita chips for dipping.
9. Quiche Lorraine
What's an Easter brunch without quiche? They basically go hand-in-hand. But, if the notion of making a quiche from scratch feels daunting, fear not, because Trader Joe's has you covered with its frozen Quiche Lorraine offering, big enough to feed a family.
10. Raspberry Croissant Carré
This giant croissant is a dream come true, filled with raspberries and topped with coarse sugar. It's so big, it feeds 4 to 6 people, according to Trader Joe's.
