I'm a Brit who loves Trader Joe's. Here are 8 foods I brought home to the UK for my family to try.

I'm a huge fan of Trader Joe's award-winning chili and lime rolled-corn tortilla chips, and I almost always pick up a bag when I'm in the store.

I thought my family would enjoy them as well, so I popped a bag in my suitcase.

Though similar products are available in the UK, nothing compares to the spicy-yet-sweet flavor of these chips.

I immediately knew I wanted to take Trader Joe's super-seedy cheesy snack bites to the UK.

These bite-sized delights have a delicious Parmesan base and a lovely crunch from the seeds and quinoa.

They'd likely work well on a holiday spread alongside more cheese and chutney.

When it comes to dried fruits, Trader Joe's chile-spiced pineapple is hard to beat.

I love the sweet and spicy combination and think the pineapple rings are best when you're craving a sweet treat.

My mom prefers fruity flavors over chocolate, and these rings will bring a tropical twist to our holidays.

My dad always prefers a chocolaty snack or dessert, and Trader Joe's Snacky Clusters are sure to hit the spot.

These chocolate treats are jam-packed with sea-salt potato chips, corn-chip dippers, and salty mini pretzel nuggets.

This is one of my favorite snacks when I'm craving a chocolate fix, and I'm sure my dad will love it, too.

Trader Joe's dark-chocolate sea-salt caramels will make a great gift for my family, friends, and colleagues.

The box of sweet caramel treats is small and light enough to fit in my suitcase without having to shuffle too many things around.

I plan on gifting these chocolate caramels to my sister-in-law because she loves dark chocolate.

I can't wait for my family to try Trader Joe's PB & C snack duos.

The snack duos come with creme-filled wafers and a peanut-butter dip.

They'll be a great addition to my family's work lunches.

My best friend is a vegetarian, and, in my experience, jackfruit-meat alternatives aren't as widely available in the UK as they are in some parts of the US.

She's a huge foodie and loves to cook, so I think she'll be a fan of Trader Joe's pulled jackfruit in smoky BBQ sauce.

I also appreciate how the sealed pouch is very travel-friendly.

Cookie butter is available in the UK, but nothing compares to Trader Joe's speculoos spread. I'd simply describe the spread as Christmas in a jar.

The sweet caramel-like flavor of the crushed speculoos cookies reminds me of cozy holiday-spice flavors.

I love putting this spread on Trader Joe's pancake bread, having it with fruit, or even eating it straight from the jar.
