Trader Joe's has plenty of pumpkin-flavored products to offer this year, but its Pumpkin Caramel Kringle certainly takes the cake.
Trader Joe's Pumpkin Caramel Kringle is a flaky, pumpkin-flavored pastry that's perfect for a crisp fall morning. The seasonal product starts with a croissant-like texture made by the O&H Danish Bakery of Racine, Wisconsin. Inside the pastry shell, you'll find a sweet filling of pumpkin and salted caramel. Some eagle-eyed Trader Joe's fans may remember this product from previous years, but there's no doubting why this sweet treat has made a triumphant return.
Trader Joe's Pumpkin Caramel Kringle – along with dozens of other seasonal pumkin products – can be found now for just a limited time.
