This month, Trader Joe's has everything you need to spice up your Valentine's Day or your game day, and we can't wait to try them all. We’ve gathered the 16 newest February must-haves to make your grocery haul even more delightful than it already is.

The 16 Best February Trader Joe's Finds

1. Artichoke Bottoms

We'll kick it off with something that TJ's fans are very excited about: these cute little artichoke bottoms that are ready to be filled with whatever your little heart desires. Available for a limited time, this 14-ounce bag has people talking after only a short time on shelves. "These were outstanding!!! Sauteed in butter garlic and lemon. Running back to get 5 more bags of these hearts," says one Redditor. Trader Joe's suggests filling them with chicken salad or their Artichoke Jalapeno dip. Either way, you're in for a treat. Find them in the freezer section now for $2.99.

2. Portuguese Donuts

Ready for something a little sweet? These new Portuguese Donuts are in stores for a limited time and the chatter is loud on this one. "We bought these and ate them last night! I was so impressed," says one commenter. "They're so damn good. My husband and I killed the box the same day," says another. These donuts are "hand-fried, hand-split, and hand-filled with a captivatingly creamy and remarkably rich Chocolate Hazelnut Filling," according to TJ's. They're finished with a sprinkle of sugar—what could be bad about that? Redditors recommend air frying for the best results. Find them in the frozen dessert aisle for $3.99 for four donuts.

3. Homestyle Angus Beef Meatballs

Nothing says winter like a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. Bonus points if those meatballs contain a few (not-so-secret) ingredients like these do. A mixture of 100% Angus beef joins is mixed with onion and garlic purée, panko breadcrumbs, basil and oregano, as well as grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses for a meatball that will taste like your nonna made 'em.

Some fans are stirring them into soups, while others are pairing them with pasta. But one particularly inventive Redditor takes the prize for the most creative meal idea: "These were great! Picked up a jar of the Thick, Bold, and Spicy red sauce and dumped it on top after searing the meatballs, then put in oven for 15 minutes. Ate in sourdough buns with havarti on top YUMMY." Find them with the meat and sausages for $7.99 for 12 meatballs.

4. Sweet Ripe Plantains

If you've never had plantains, get ready for a serious treat. This starchier cousin to the banana has a myriad of uses for mealtimes and many fans are super excited to pick up a bag. Trader Joe's recommends heating these up in a frying pan, air fryer, or conventional oven. To help make sure they're browned and caramelized, one Redditor says: "Don’t have a super high flame, and flip a few times if you need to." Enjoy these with grilled steak, roast chicken, or, as TJ's says with some "steamy Black Beans and crumbled Cotija." Yum! Find them in the frozen aisle for $2.49 for a 16-ounce bag.

5. Dark Chocolate and Almond Cookie Tiles

It just wouldn't be Valentine's Day without something chocolate, right? Lucky for us, Trader Joe's has these cute pink boxes of chocolate almond "cookie tiles" (basically really crispy cookie bites) all lined up and waiting for you on the new product shelf. A golden cookie batter with slivered almonds and dark chocolate bits has people pumped. "These are so bomb. Definitely getting a second box cuz they’re gonna get finished tonight 😂," says one Redditor with another saying they're "addictive." Others mention that they're a tad too salty for their liking, so be mindful if you're not a sweet and salty fan (but who isn't?). Grab a box in the cookie section for $3.99 for a limited time.

6. Sprinkle Cake Bites

Move over, Starbucks! This month, these new sprinkle cake bites are giving the coffee chain a run for their money. This 8-pack of (stickless) moist cake bites is made for TJ's by a supplier in Denmark, dipped in a confectionary coating and covered in all-natural sprinkles (the color comes from fruit and veggies). As Trader Joe's puts it, "Cake is far too delicious a food group to be confined to birthday celebrations and formal occasions." We couldn't agree more. Find 8 cake bites for $3.99 in the bakery section.

7. Dark Chocolate Covered Bon Bon Cookies

Did you ever wish you could lay around watching TV and eating bon bons? Well now, thanks to Trader Joe's you (kind of) can. These new bon bon cookies are vanilla cookies with chocolate mousse on top, enrobed in dark chocolate and covered in crispy cacao nibs. "Save your NY resolution and don’t buy the Bon Bon Cookies," says one Redditor. They're that good. Find them in with the cookies for $2.99 per box.

8. Conversation Hearts Candies

With sayings like "“LOVE”, “WOW”, “YUM”, “FAVE”, and, of course, “TJ’S” the new conversation hearts are around for a limited time and are only 99 cents, making a WFH office candy bowl that much more attainable. One Redditor reports that these have citric acid so they’re tart, unlike the traditional sweet and chalky conversation hearts of your youth. "Tastes like a blend of OG convo hearts and Smarties," says one reviewer.

9. Organic Turmeric Twist Cold Pressed Juice Blend

Some people aren't thrilled about the grams of sugar in this new juice (30 grams) but others are excited to have a fresh-pressed, organic juice blend that they can keep in their fridges for cold and flu season. Made with carrot, orange, ginger, turmeric, lemon and apple juices, this one hits on the flavor and can also help you fight whatever cold is going around. "Add black pepper for the full benefits of the turmeric," says one Redditor. "Oh I’m going to absolutely destroy these bad boys," says another. Find it in with the juices for $4.99.

10. Family Nijland Clover Gouda Cheese

Last month's "Spotlight Cheese of the Month" is still around in most stores, so if you see it, grab it to add to your cheese board, sandwich or lunchbox. The Family Nijland estate creamery makes cheese using an authentic Dutch recipe, with the milk from their own herd of 250 cows. The cows' diet of clover imparts a sightly floral taste to this cheese, which has reviewers swooning. "Oh my gouda," says Natasha from TJ's account @natashasklist. Find it for $11.99 per pound in the cheese case.

11. Dark Chocolate Covered Caramels

"I do NOT need this in my life. But I want it in my life," says one fan of these new chewy, dark chocolate-covered caramels. And we totally understand. Lightly salted vanilla-tinged caramel covered in a dark chocolate shell—if that doesn't say "Happy Valentine's Day," we don't know what does. Find the 10-ounce bag for $5.49 in the candy section.

12. Korean Style Yangnyeom Sauce

This one isn't on shelves yet but @trader_joes_treasure_hunt broke the news of this sweet and spicy sticky sauce coming to stores soon. Made with gochugang, soy sauce, black strap molasses and spices, this one immediately caused a stir online with fans watching their new product sheves carefully for the day it drops. "❤️❤️ holy smokes!!! Been waiting for this!!!!!" says one Instagram fan and "Oh that'd be so good with my momofuku noodles... or beef, haha," says another. Grab a bottle soon for $3.99.

13. Sugared Rice Cracker Hearts

This limited-time buy is sure to make hearts race. This salty-sweet snack is a rice cracker dipped in soy sauce and honey, then sprinkled with coarse sugar. Pair them with cheese, a glass of rose, or as a midnight movie snack. "Love them! Not too sweet, like cereal, very umami," says one Redditor. Find them in with the crackers and chips for $1.99 per bag.

14. Whipped Feta Spread

"A salty spreadable dip made with whipped feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt and olive oil" explains the popular TJ's account @trader_joes_treasure_hunt. This tub has a ton of uses—dip veggies into it, spread on a sandwich, or use it as a dip for their spicy Chile Crackers. "I've been eating it with tomatoes, balsamic glaze, cracked pepper and pita crackers. Super good," says one fan. Find this one for a limited time in the spreads and dips refrigerated case for $3.99.

15. Cheesy Bagels

Too new to even have any social media presence yet (or any reviews) this new 4-pack of bagels is sure to change up your breakfast game. A soft and chewy plain TJ's bagel with a cheesy crust that comes from a pile of shredded Asiago cheese on top is going to pair amazingly well with a fried egg and their chicken sausage patties. Of course, TJ's recommends a swipe of salted butter or their Chive & Onion Cream Cheese, but you can decide for yourself. $3.49 in the bakery section soon.

16. Chocolate & Peanut Butter Lover’s Nut Mix

If you're looking to up your snack game in 2025, look no further than the new Chocolate & Peanut Butter Lover's Nut Mix. "I can't even begin to explain how delicious this mix is," says one fan. "I am PLOWING through the one bag that I bought. I eat it by the handful but am also loving it in my yogurt," says another. Made with a mix of cashews, cocoa-dusted almonds, plain almonds, pretzel sticks, mini peanut butter cups, and their Tiniest Chocolate Chip Cookies, there's something for everyone in this bag. Grab it before it's gone! Find it for $5.49 on shelves now.
