Top Crunchy Snacks at Trader Joe's

Peanut Butter-Filled Pretzel Nuggets

We have to kick things off with the ultimate snack: Peanut Butter-Filled Pretzel Nuggets. These crunchy, salty delights have earned their spot in the Trader Joe's Hall of Fame, having been a #1 fan favorite year after year. When a snack reaches this level of popularity, Trader Joe's retires it from the competition to make room for other contenders. It's no surprise they made it this far—after all, who can resist the combo of peanut butter and pretzel?

Chili & Lime Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips

You're probably already familiar with these beloved chili lime tortilla chips, but if not, think of them as a tribute to the popular snack Takis. They’re spicy, tangy, zesty, and utterly addictive. While they’re perfect for pairing with your favorite dip, you won’t have any trouble snacking on them straight from the bag.

World's Fluffiest White Cheddar Corn Puffs

These cheesy corn puffs are similar to Pirate's Booty, but puffier, lighter, and crunchier than the nostalgic snack you remember. While they have a bit more texture, they melt away in your mouth with each bite.

Organic Corn Chip Dippers

These Corn Chip Dippers are often compared to Fritos' Scoops. Their unique shell shape makes them ideal for scooping up salsa, guacamole, or any dip you can think of. I personally love dipping them into chili or sprinkling them over a taco salad for extra crunch.

Organic Elote Corn Chip Dippers

It’s easy to see why these Elote Corn Chip Dippers were contenders for the #1 snack for three consecutive years. While the original Corn Chip Dippers are great, these Mexican street-corn-inspired chips take the cake. Packed with bold flavors, they’re seasoned with chipotle and habanero peppers, finished with a hint of lime.

Crunchy Curls

I won’t lie—I always keep an extra bag of these Crunchy Curls stashed away in my kitchen. They're everything you want in a crunchy snack: crispy, salty, and just plain fun to eat. Made from potatoes and lentils, they're not the most intensely flavored snack, but they always manage to hit the spot.
