Trader Joe’s New $5 Fall Baking Find Is Pure Maple Bliss

Trader Joe’s always has some of the best seasonal finds, and its Maple Mania is making its way back to stores for fall. And one of the most mouthwatering finds is undoubtedly the new Maple Butterscotch Blondie Baking Mix.

The combination alone sounds like fall baking at its best, with sweet maple flavor, rich and salty butterscotch, and chewy blondies all wrapped into one easy mix. And at $4.99 a box, it doesn’t take much convincing to toss one into the cart.

You can see it in store in this September 1 Instagram post from @traderjoesgeek:

Trader Joe’s Limited-Time Maple Butterscotch Blondie Baking Mix Is the Sweetest Fall Treat

The new 17.49-ounce Maple Butterscotch Blondie Baking Mix keeps things wonderfully simple. According to Trader Joe’s, all you need to add is one egg and a stick of melted butter before mixing the batter, pouring it into a pan, and baking.

But the best part may come after they leave the oven. Each box includes a packet of butterscotch syrup to drizzle over the finished blondies. You can add it however you like, or follow the instructions on the package to create the pretty feathered pattern pictured on the box.

Trader Joe’s describes the finished blondies as buttery, sweet, and salty, with slightly crisp edges and a chewy interior. The retailer also recommends baking them on the lighter side if you prefer an even chewier texture.

And while these would be delicious on their own, a maple butterscotch blondie sounds even better alongside a hot cup of coffee or served warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Like so many of Trader Joe’s seasonal finds, the Maple Butterscotch Blondie Baking Mix is only expected to stick around for a limited time. So if maple and butterscotch are some of the flavors you look forward to most when fall rolls around, this is one box you may want to grab when you see it.
