Grocery stores have evolved beyond housing your essential produce, deli, and pantry items for all your weekly meal needs. They now have unique frozen, pre-prepared, and ready-to-eat dishes that make dinner on a busy night equally delicious and easy. Plus, there are so many varieties of snack foods that it can be hard to keep up on new arrivals.
While you can typically rely on your favorite grocery store to have the items that frequently end up on your shopping list, there’s always new seasonal options and limited-time offerings from our favorite brands. Such as Trader Joe’s Danish Gingerbread Snaps or the Baking Brie Cheese from Aldi that wins shoppers over every year. Here are seven can’t-miss grocery releases from the past week that we can’t wait to try for ourselves.
Dollar Tree Beyoglu Dubaco Dubai Style Chocolate Bar
Allrecipes / Dollar Tree
Dollar Tree has added the Beyoglu Dubaco Dubai Style Chocolate Bar to its candy aisle, and for good reason. It’s made with pistachio and kataifi (also known as kadayif)—a Middle Eastern pastry similar to shredded phyllo dough—with a hint of cardamom and dates, making it the perfect treat to enjoy when a craving for Dubai chocolate hits.
Allrecipes writer Terri Peters tried the chocolate bar and declared it a 10/10. “It tastes exactly like pricier Dubai chocolate that I’ve purchased in recent months, for a fraction of the price,” she said. “It’s perfectly chocolatey with a bit of crunch, and just enough pistachio flavor. The texture is spot on.”
Walmart’s Bettergoods Ube Dinner Rolls
Allrecipes / Walmart
If you’ve had King’s Hawaiian products, you know just how good they are. But Walmart released an all-new Bettergoods Ube Dinner Rolls copycat for $5 that tastes just as heavenly. They are soft and have that pillowy texture we love from a Hawaiian roll, but with a delightful ube twist.
Ube, a vibrant purple yam native to Southeast Asia and a staple in classic Filipino cuisine, lends a sweet vanilla and coconut flavor to these rolls. You can smother them with melted butter, top them with cinnamon-sugar, or even turn them into donuts or sliders—the opportunities are endless.
Oreo Cookie Dough-Flavored Sandwich Cookies

Oreos have been a staple pantry item in many of our homes for years. The brand is known for releasing limited-time flavors fans rave about, and its latest offering may just be at the top of my list. The Cookie Dough Oreos first made their debut ten years ago and are now back and better than ever.
On Instagram, food reviewer @snackolator shared a video of the returning cookies, and fans were thrilled to see the flavor making a comeback. “Finally. I’ve been dreaming about the chocolate chip cookie dough Oreos,” one person wrote.

Ring Pops have a whole new look with this latest flavor: Milk Chocolate with Sprinkles. Spotted at Walmart, the never-before-seen version of the lollipop is gem-shaped and made of solid milk chocolate.
Ring Pop shared the new flavor on Instagram with the caption, “Chocolate Ring Pop has landed, and yes… it’s everything your stockings, cocoa, and treat cravings needed.” Fans were beyond excited about the announcement. One person commented, “Omg a must have for sure.” Another wrote, “We love these!!”
Trader Joe’s English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich
Allrecipes / Trader Joe’s
There’s nothing better than having easy, hassle-free breakfast options to get your day started. And Trader Joe’s new English Muffin Breakfast Sandwiches fit the bill! They’re very similar to the beloved McDonald’s breakfast sandwich, featuring a fluffy English muffin filled with a pork sausage patty, scrambled eggs, and a slice of Cheddar cheese.
Trader Joe’s shoppers are excited about the new item as it can be heated up in a flash in the microwave or air fryer. The Instagram account @trader_joes_treasure_hunt shared the find, and fans commented that they couldn’t wait to get their hands on it. “Wow!! Count me in,” one person wrote. Another said, “I’ll take two please.”

Allrecipes / Lays
Lay’s has such a wide variety of chip offerings for people to enjoy. And now, its Lay’s Baked lineup is expanding even more with two new flavors: Roasted Garlic & Herb and Loaded Baked Potato. The new chips are full of flavor, and each bite has that perfect crunch that the baked Lay’s are known for.
On Instagram, @snachwithzach posted about the new release, and fans were thrilled to learn about the delicious flavors heading to shelves at major retailers across the U.S. “BAKED GETTING NEW FLAVORS???” Another wrote, “I can’t wait to try them.”
