Trader Joe's Has Pumpkin Empanadas, and We're Already Wondering How Many We Can Fit in Our Mouths

When the fall season hits, pumpkins are basically everywhere — in decorations, candle scents, piled high at the store for carving, and baked into almost every food [1]. While we all know and love treats like pumpkin scones and pumpkin donuts, we can't wait to ditch our usual go-to orders and try these pumpkin empanadas from Trader Joe's [2]! (We also definitely plan on pretending they're pumpkin pasties from Harry Potter [3] while munching on them during our many HP movie marathons this fall.)

The empanadas are a warm, flaky pastry filled with a sweet, creamy pumpkin filling, which pretty much sounds like the best fall treat ever. You can pick up a box of them at a Trader Joe's [4] near you for $4, and all you have to do is warm them up in the oven and they're ready to eat! Instagram user @traderjoesoc [5] described them as "sweet and good for a cold night." Keep these stored in the freezer and pull one out whenever you feel like eating some decadent pumpkin goodness (read: every day). It's like a mini fried pumpkin pie that you don't have to bake from scratch!
