Whether you're plopping down on the couch and need something to munch on or you're road-tripping, the moment calls for something sweet, salty, crunchy, or maybe even gummy. We consulted POPSUGAR editors to pull together the best snacks at Trader Joe's.

The most perfect blend of sweet and savory. Really good with a soft cheese or just on their own; I have to cut myself off so I don't polish off the whole box in one sitting!

Dried Pitted Tart Montmorency Cherries ($5)

Most dried cherries on the market are sweet cherries, like bing. Not these; they pack tons of tart, juicy flavor. I like to add them to oatmeal cookies or a sweet snack mix of bittersweet chocolate chips and slivered almonds, or I eat them straight.

So creamy and delicious. Hands down, 1,000 times better than Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

The Powerberries Trek Mix is my go-to snack. I never feel guilty munching on the mix of chewy dark-chocolate-coated fruit pieces and crunchy nuts.

These are salty, sweet, chocolaty, and perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. I have made myself stop buying them, because I eat them too fast.

I was recently introduced to these smoky, addictive almonds at a party, and I immediately rushed out to grab a bag. Pro tip: this perfect snack tastes best straight out of the fridge so the seasoning doesn't get all over your fingers.

I grew up eating tons of white-cheddar popcorn, so popping open a bag paves the way to instant nostalgia. It's impossible not to scarf this umami-rich popcorn by the fistful.

OK, this stuff isn't for the faint of heart, but if you're a fan of fish, you'll love the sweet-salmony chews. I will definitely be bringing these on my next camping trip.

Roasted almonds drenched in dark chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt and turbinado sugar . . . Need I say more?!

These are pretty much on par with all of my favorite Mexican candies; you really can't beat the spicy-sweet combo.

Salty and perfectly-roasted, Trader Joe's rosemary marcona almonds rival those sold at specialty food stores at a price that's easier to swallow.
