Trader Joe’s seasonal snacks never miss, whether it’s pumpkin-flavored everything in the autumn or warm and festive fare come the holidays. In fact, shoppers have plenty of limited-edition items that they wait all year for, from Apple Cider Donuts to Mardi Gras Kringles. Now, the grocery chain is bringing back another seasonal bakery item for the eleventh year in a row—which makes sense, given that it has some of the most positive fan reviews we’ve ever seen.
Trader Joe’s Chocolate Mousse Eggs Are Back
Spring is in the air, and Trader Joe’s is ushering in the Easter season with the return of its beloved Chocolate Mousse Eggs. The cakes are the same exact treats fans have loved for more than a decade, featuring velvety, moist egg-shaped chocolate cakes layered with silky chocolate mousse and dipped in Belgian chocolate.
Each egg is finished with pastel colored icing and sprinkles for an extra-festive touch, but beyond their adorable appearance, Trader Joe’s Chocolate Mousse Eggs also taste incredible.
“If you saw me buying three packs of these today…no you didn’t,” wrote one fan on a Reddit thread devoted to the treat. Another customer echoed the sentiment, reporting that they “bought two [packs] today at like 9 a.m. and one is already almost gone.”
“Filing this under: things that I absolutely do not need but if I get my hands [on them], they’re disappearing in three days MAX,” shared another shopper.
“They’re really delicious,” confirmed another Redditor on an older thread, adding, “it’s probably a good thing they’re not available year-round.”
In a way, though, the treats are available most of the year—the Chocolate Mousse eggs were so popular when they debuted in 2015, they inspired multiple seasonal iterations, from chocolate mousse pumpkin shapes at Halloween to mini presents for Christmas and even a raspberry-flavored version for Valentine’s Day.
Each pack of six mousse cakes retails for just $3.99, meaning the seasonal sweet is a wallet-friendly option for Easter dessert or springtime snacking. But, like all of Trader Joe’s festive finds, the Chocolate Mousse Eggs won’t be on shelves for long, so you may want to stock up now or forever hold your peace—at least until the pumpkin-shaped cakes roll back around in the fall.
