Trader Joe’s (Various)

I rarely drop a shout-out for a grocery store, but the Blarney Scone round loaf from Trader Joe’s is so darn delicious that I want to “can” it from the rooftops. It’s an Irish soda bread studded with raisins and a brilliant Caraway seed essence. Don’t miss your chance to take this seasonal bread home.
