Trader Joe’s Fall Leaf Corn Tortilla Chips Review

Trader Joe's really knows how to make snacks look festive, and these Fall Leaf Corn Tortilla Chips are no exception. They're shaped like little autumn leaves in red, orange, and yellow shades - the kind of snack that instantly makes your table look cozy and seasonal.

Location in store

You'll find them in the chips and snacks section, usually near other seasonal items. They come in a large bag and tend to sell out fast once fall products start taking over. I always grab a few because they're perfect for parties, movie nights, or even to dress up a snack board.

Taste and texture

Flavor-wise, they're simple and familiar - classic salted corn tortilla chips with just the right crunch. The color comes from natural vegetable powders like beet, pumpkin, and carrot, which gives them their fall hues without changing the taste.

The chips have a medium thickness, sturdy enough to hold dip without breaking but not too heavy or greasy. They're fresh, crisp, and slightly nutty from the corn. I liked that the salt level is balanced - flavorful but not overwhelming.

I will say that they're best eaten within a couple of days after opening the bag. If you leave them out, they lose that perfect crunch pretty quickly, so I keep mine sealed in an airtight container.

Best dip pairing

The best way to enjoy these is with Trader Joe's Fall Harvest Salsa. The sweet and tangy flavor of that salsa works beautifully with the saltiness of the chips. The salsa's mix of butternut squash, apples, and pumpkin really brings out the autumn flavors and makes this combo feel like a proper seasonal treat.

It's a great mix of textures too - crisp chips with a chunky, slightly sweet salsa. Honestly, I don't even bother with other dips when I have these two together.

Pros and cons
