Trader Joe’s is a grocery store that is located all over the USA. It is known to have fresh produce and healthier food options while being set at a lower price. Trader Joe’s is well known in the younger generation for the candy options. I personally have tried almost every type of fruity candy that Trader Joe’s offers.

I will be explaining and ranking all the types of candy I have tried.

Starting at the bottom, we have the Fruit Jelly’s. These are square shaped jelly candies that have 6 different flavors. There is orange, raspberry, lemon, blackberry, grape, and mandarin. I personally did not like this candy at all. I thought the flavors were just too artificial and I also found that the texture was too gelatinous.

The next on my list is the Strawberry Field Gummies. The main reason I don’t like these is because there is only one flavor and I find that kind of boring. I do like the color combo of them with the green and pink.

After that is the Sour Strawberry Candy Belts. I do like these a lot. They have a good amount of sour to them without overpowering the flavor, but again there just is only one flavor so they get kinda boring after a few.

Next is the Scandinavian Swimmers, they are a classic at Trader Joe’s and there are two different types. They have just an original gummy and then they have the sour version. I personally like the sour ones more than the original, but they both are delicious. These are in all year unlike a lot of Trader Joe’s candy that often only come out during certain times of the year. There are four different flavors, and they are all shaped as different sea animals.

The last, and my overall favorite, is the Sour Jelly Beans. These are my absolute favorites. They have many different flavors and are definitely sour and that’s what I love about them. They also come in a smaller bag so you don’t become stressed out over how many jelly beans you have.

At the end of the day I think Traders Joe’s sells the best candy and if you haven’t tried any of them you definitely should!
