10 Foods We Wish Trader Joe’s Would Turn Into a Spread

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Georgetown chapter.

We can’t thank TJ’s enough for thinking up cookie butter and bacon jam, but we can’t help but think that there are so many possibilities of things that could be jarred and spread on our toast/sandwiches/etc.

1. Sriracha

Sure, you could drizzle the spicy sauce on top of your toast, but we’re imaging something that you could spread over the entire piece without setting your mouth on fire. The millennial market waits patiently.

2. Girl Scout Cookies

We’re picturing Thin Mint toast, Samoa sandwiches, and Peanut Butter Patty paninis. Regular cookie butter just isn’t cutting it anymore.

3. Coffee

If you’re running late at frappuccino o’clock, save time in the mornings by spreading a sweet, caffeine-laced jam onto your toast (or donut, if you’re feeling the classic combo).

4. Mango

Ditch the typical strawberry jam and give your toast a tropical makeover with mango jelly.

5. Cookie dough

There’s already cookie butter, but it’s missing the feeling of delicious unfinishedness that eating unbaked dough has. Nothing screams yum like the nagging thought that you might get salmonella in an oh-so-worth-it way.

6. S’mores

Nutella is practically begging for someone to come swirl it with marshmallow and graham crackers to get that summer campfire flavor without the work that goes into perfectly toasting the treat. TJ’s, do the work for us, please.

7. Oreo

Oreo’s have already been fried, crumbled, and used for cheesecake, cake pops, and milkshakes; why not made into a spread?

8. Pomegranate

If you crave jam but don’t have the sweet tooth for it, pomegranate jelly could be the spread to give you the tang you need.

8. Pizza

The pizza bagel just got even easier. Skip the defrosting and layer your fresh bagel with some pizza spread for a mature way to enjoy the frozen favorite.

9. Mac ‘n Cheese

Make the mac and cheese grilled cheese sandwich instant, please.

10. Cinnamon rolls

Cinnamon toast is no match for cinnamon roll spread toast.
