I found these Trader Joe's Mini Peppermint Meringues in the seasonal aisle and grabbed them on a whim. They turned out to be one of my favorite recent snack discoveries - crisp, sweet, peppermint-fresh, and endlessly convenient.
Where to find them
You'll find these in the seasonal desserts or holiday snacks section. They come in a clear container showing dozens of little white meringues with pink peppermint swirls. They're easy to spot and disappear fast once the holiday rush hits.
What they taste like
Each bite is tiny, crunch-first, then melts into sweetness. The peppermint flavor is clean and bright - not too overpowering, but just enough to remind you it's peppermint. The texture is exactly what I want in a meringue: crisp on the outside, airy in the middle, and melts away with your coffee.
If I'm drinking a cup of strong black coffee or a mocha, these are the perfect partner. I often find myself saying "just one more" and then suddenly I've eaten a bunch. They're snack-friendly in the best way.
Why I love them
- They feel festive without being heavy or messy.
- They're portion-friendly - tiny size means you can eat several without the guilt.
- They're perfect with coffee, tea, or even hot cocoa.
- They hold up well: the crunch stays if the container stays closed.

Final thoughts
Trader Joe's Mini Peppermint Meringues are a clear yes. They're tiny, delightful, and practically designed for coffee breaks, afternoon treats, or keeping a festive snack stash. I'll be buying them again - and hiding a bag away before they sell out.
