Summer can\u2019t come soon enough. At least, that\u2019s the theme of the latest Inside Trader Joe\u2019s podcast<\/a> episode. Cohosts and employees, Matt Sloan and Tara Miller (along with special guest and Trader Joe\u2019s product developer Alex), are sharing over a dozen of the new and returning items hitting shelves now through early July.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n So what can we expect? A new take on a classic hummus, lots of frozen desserts, pastas, condiments, candles, candy, and more. Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Your eyes are not deceiving you. This RRPH (Roasted Red Pepper Hummus<\/a>) is decidedly different \u2014 and better, according to Matt \u2014 than the tubs of yesteryear. It\u2019s topped with a \u201croasted red pepper relish of sorts,\u201d says Tara, versus the previous version, which was a \u201chomogenized, blended thing,\u201d says Matt. We can\u2019t wait to sample the newbie for ourselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The hotly anticipated frozen dessert bar is (finally) back. For the uninitiated, it\u2019s a vanilla ice cream bar coated in a tangerine-orange sorbet \u2014 or, as we like to say, summer on a stick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Another item we repeatedly check the freezer case for its yearly return, these unforgettable purple yam ice cream bites with a pistachio-vanilla-y flavor and oh-so-satisfying chewy texture will arrive in stores \u201cprobably [the] end of June,\u201d says Tara. We\u2019re officially on watch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The pints at TJ\u2019s are practically legendary: Not one, but three have landed on a coveted spot on our list of the 10 best Trader Joe\u2019s desserts<\/a> of all time. This newcomer \u2014 with its graham cracker-flavored ice cream and marshmallow and chocolatey swirls \u2014 is bringing serious contender energy to the freezer case. The endlessly riffable<\/a> summer campfire sweet is showing up (and showing out) in frosty form.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Made in Italy, these bars are a solid<\/em> twist on the classic summer sip. But if drinking lemonade is more your speed, do as Tara suggests and pop these off the stick and into the blender with some tequila and make yourself a frozen margarita. Like the mochi, these frozen bars are also \u201cexpected in stores around the end of June.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n1. Roasted Red Pepper Hummus<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
