Trader Joe’s shoppers know that the beginning of fall signals a deluge of the store’s seasonal grocery items. And while we love pumpkin, apple, and cranberry flavors, sometimes it’s nice to have a snack that looks as festive as others taste. Unsurprisingly, one of Trader Joe’s fall staples does exactly that, and this customer-favorite fall snack is back once again just in time to double as autumnal decor.

Lightly fried in sunflower oil and sprinkled in sea salt, these corn tortilla chips are delicious, and the snacking possibilities are endless. Just like your standard tortilla chips, they are perfect for dipping in salsa or hummus, or topping with sharp cheddar, Colby Jack, or sour cream for the ultimate fall loaded nachos

What sets these chips apart from everyday tortilla chips, however, is that they’re equally decorative. These adorable chips are shaped like different types of freshly fallen autumn leaves and are dyed with all-natural beet, carrot, and pumpkin powders to give them their warm yellow, orange, and red hues. 

These chips are great for after-work or after-school snacks, but they’re also a supercute choice for entertaining guests throughout the fall and into the holiday season. At only $3.99 per bag, they’re affordable and instantly set the seasonal mood in your space. And unlike regular festive decor, you never have to pack it up and put it in storage at the end of the season.

The Fall Leaf Corn Tortilla Chips won’t be at Trader Joe’s for very long, as the store will soon have to start making room for winter holiday fare. Now is the time to scoop up a bag or two to have on hand when family and friends come over for a fun, festive, fall visit.
