Re: Trader Joe's-New/Fall Seasonal Items!!!

They also have blurry writing regarding trans fats. They claim "no added Trans Fats", which could mean different things depending upon how one adds ingredients (because some ingredients have trans fats already, so not adding to that will not mean no trans fats).

You need to check YOUR facts, WFM does indeed sell products with GMO ingredients. http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/faqs-gmos

We LOVE that pumpkin bread pudding. It's probably our favorite pumpkin item from TJs - and that's saying a lot!

Pumpkin flavor is a big draw...Starbucks sales have just increased by 40 percent since they are now selling pumpkin/fall seasonal options.

Where do you find the kringle? I looked around but didn't see it and didn't ask. Now I'm just too intrigued!

TJ's had the kringle at the table/bar where they prepare & offer samples. And I think they keep them in the open freezer section by the dessert items-pies, cakes ice cream. Asking a store employee is your best bet, esp if they have temporarily sold out.

I don't have a TJ's where I live but was out of town yesterday and went to one. Definitely in pumpkin heaven and could have spent quite a bit but held back. Now I rather regret that decision.

I'd have to say it's my favorite too, but their pumpkin spice coffe is de-lish. That's a close second. I stopped on the way home from work today & got kringle, bread pudding & waffles. Just had to, after this thread ;-)

Thanks, I didn't realize it was frozen.

At our store, they had them by the fresh bakery items as well as a few place on top of the freezer-maybe because of space. It's fresh, not frozen.

Re: Trader Joe's-New/Fall Seasonal Items!!!

So funny because I was just in TJoe's tonight...went into Whole Foods first but what I was looking for were a little weak there ( croissants lol)...TJoe's are much better and less expensive...while on line I sampled that incredible Pumpkin Kringle...I was in a hurry and didnt want to get off the line, but I'm definitely going back for that Kringle..it's fantastic lol!!!
