They have a new corn salsa that's really good. Skip the blue tortilla chips that are the recommended pairing for it though. I like blue corn chips but did not like these for whatever reason.
The garlic naan is a treat for me. I put it in the oven for longer than recommended and then slather it with butter/olive oil.
The orange chicken holds up overnight really well, so I make that at least once a week with some frozen fried rice to take to lunch the next day.

Their mango sorbet is pretty good if you're into sorbet.
Otherwise, I've been very into their gyro slices as of late. You can of course put them on pita bread, but I've just been making sandwiches out of them with homemade tzaziki sauce, mayo, and onions on toasted potato buns.

So many tasty things at Trader Joe's...here are some good suggestions OP: https://www.resetera.com/threads/what-are-your-favorite-items-at-trader-joes.87603/
Ever since Brigham's stopped selling their chocolate sauce in grocery stores, I hadn't been able to find a decent alternative until I stumbled upon Trader Joe's version.
Much better than that Smucker's crap you find elsewhere.

Pretty sure this is the fourth one of these Trader Joe threads across this site and the old one. Not that I'm complaining, I love the suggestions, but you can check these out too:

Seriously I'm hooked on that, best frozen mac & cheese out there.
Their chocolate definitely hits the mark for me, and even the non-TJ's brand offerings are worthwhile. The "Dark Chocolate Lover's" and "Milk Chocolate Lover's" bars are quite nice, and I'm a fan of the Peanut Butter Roundels and the Smashing S'mores.
Off the top of my head...
Green Dragon Hot Sauce
Everything Bagel Seasoning
Shawarma Chicken Thighs
TJ's Taco Seasoning
Also their cheese crisps which are just all cheese is a great deal, and great for a crunchy snack while doing Keto.

Their Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels are pretty great:
I just had these: One of the best dark chocolate candy.
The dark chocolate + caramel + salt combo works wonders in your mouth.
Some of the grains of salt on the top of the chocolate can be too big or too much though, but you can take off a few grains with your hand easily to make it less salty.
This so much. I haven't found anything like it on any other store shelves and it's so damn good.
Just curious, what do you use the everything bagel seasoning for? I love everything bagels so the idea sounds great but I just don't know what I would out it on.
Orange chicken of course. I really like their "restaurant style" tortilla chips, I think they're called. They have some lime flavor. I get that with their reduced guilt guacamole (which uses greek yogurt).
I also get their giant dark chocolate bar because I love dark chocolate and it's cheap compared to other dark chocolate. They have some frozen chocolate croissants that are amazing but require some time out the night before so they can rise

It's incredible on white rice, it's like furikake without the seaweed.
Bro you serious? I got that once and thought it was so gross lol.. They have so many good things.I need some ideas.
I really miss this:
Don't know why they discontinued it. :(
My personal fave - Those frozen caramelized onion and cheese bite things. Absolutely incredible; however that may be discontinued as well.. Didn't spot em' last time I was in.
Did you get them in a 4 or 12 pack (box pictured in my original post) by chance? The past few times I've been at Trader's, I could only find them in the small 4 packs sadly.
Habanero hot sauce
Elote flavored corn chips
Bamba (kind of like peanut butter flavored puffed rice, melt in your mouth or crunchy if you bite, fucking delicious if you like peanut butter snacks)
Those three I get every single visit to TJs. The frozen stuff, there are tons I could recommend but none I get every time. Honestly most of it is great and worth it.
When I was a kid, fruit leather was the epitome of a taste treat, but they were pricey and small. When these bad boys are on the shelf, it means I can eat as much as I want.
Also, their fake meat orange chicken is wonderful.
They only have them for 2 weeks around Christmas, but the Sticky Toffee puddings are sublime.
They sell shelf-stable Heavy Cream which is really convenient.
The Multigrain pancake mix is really good.
The "Mediterranean" Hummus is the best Hummus you can get in a grocery store anywhere.

Do you know the name of the fake orange chicken? Those fruit bars look tasty

I fell in love with Hatch chiles on a vacation to New Mexico a few years ago, ever since I've been a fan of this stuff.
They're more fruit leather than bars - very thin, like a thicker Fruit Roll-Up.
The chickens are "Chicken-less Mandarin Orange Morsels" and my wife says that the sauce is "less tangy, a bit sweeter" than Panda Express' Orange Chicken, if that helps.
