Westwood would not be the same without Trader Joe's and its aisles of delectable snacks. There's always something new to try at every visit to this yummy wonderland. Some days call for sweet treats while other days call for savory bites. For whatever the day calls for, there's a Trader Joe's snack for every craving. Here are some of what I consider to be the best Trader Joe's snacks.

1. Butter Almond Thins

So much flavor is packed into these thin crisps. Just the right amount of sweetness complements the rich buttery flavor of these thins. Slivers of almonds infuse a nutty flavor and crunchy texture throughout the whole crisp. As a fan of anything crunchy, these butter almond thins hit the spot for those crunchy cravings. The thinness of the crisps only make it easier to finish the whole box in the blink of an eye.

2. Spud Crunchies

These aren't your usual potato chips. Slightly dense with a hearty crunch, these spud sticks deliver on the potato flavor with a unique spin on the classic chip. Not only are they delicious, but they're also fun to eat because of the shape and unique airy crunch they have that also feels lighter than the traditional potato chip. Try satisfying your french fry cravings with this (slightly) healthier alternative!

3. White Truffle Potato Chips

When I first tasted these chips, I felt like I was transported into an unexplored territory of umami. These chips have such a deep, savory taste that comes from the truffle oil that it can be almost be described as having the flavors of a full course meal in one chip. Once you've tried this, no other chip flavor can compare to the depth of this flavor. In my opinion, these chips play a big role in putting Trader Joe's snacks on a level higher than others.

4. Butter Toffee Pretzels

These are essentially pretzel version of the butter cookies in the metal tins. Sweet. Extremely crunchy. Buttery. When I first had them, I did not thing they were anything extraordinary. But the more I ate them, the more they grew on me. Once you start, there's no stopping with these. The best parts of these treats are the thick clusters of crystallized toffee that give such a satisfying crunch into a burst of sweetness.

5. Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips Chili & Lime Flavored

Thank you Trader Joe's for giving us a way to enjoy the flavors of Takis without the guilt. The savory tortillas have a strong corn flavor that pairs well with the coating of tangy lime and spicy seasoning. It packs all the flavors without being overwhelmingly salty or spicy. This trader Joe's snack is truly a strong contender against classic chips like Hot Cheetos and Takis.

6. Hold the Cone! Mini Ice Cream Cones

Cold. Crunchy. Creamy. These small cones are the perfect size to satisfy your ice cream cravings. It comes in two flavors vanilla and chocolate. For those who like a balance of flavors with chocolate, vanilla will do just the trick. Have one cone... or one box! They're mini-sized, so having the whole box won't hurt.
