Some customers love Trader Joe's best for their healthier and affordable options — but the popular grocer also has its fair share of delicious sweets.

And just recently, the chain introduced Mushroom Shaped Gummy Candies for a limited time, and they've certainly got fans buzzing online for their festive cuteness and citrusy, sour flavor.

The gummies got some love from Martha Stewart's website recently, for example.

"Their chewy texture and fine coating of sour sanding sugar are reminiscent of other pucker-inducing sweets and are perfect for tucking into Easter baskets or stashing in your tote," reads the enticing write-up on Stewart's site.

The Instagram account @traderjoesobsessed also plugged the gummies in a recent post, boasting that they're "so cute and would be a perfect cake topper for a mushroom theme or for cupcakes $2.29." Check out the product's preview image below.

"Made for us in Germany, these whimsical Gummy Candies are shaped like rosy little Mushrooms, complete with pink button caps and pale stems, courtesy of fruit & veggie juice," reads the product description on Trader Joe's website. "Each mini Mushroom offers a lively combination of sweet and sour, with a charmingly chewy texture and pixie dust-like coating of sour sanding sugar (an extra-fine blend of sugar, citric acid, and malic acid—the latter of which works in tandem with apple juice concentrate to enhance the Gummies fresh, apple-y flavor profile)."

On that note, if you're now enticed to stop by your Trader Joe's location to purchase a bag or two, Parade recently offered a friendly word of advice for customers: Make sure the insides of your reusable bags are in decent shape for the employees at checkout!

There have been online forums created by frustrated cashiers, believe it or not, who have dealt with packing customers' items into noticeably gross bags. One reported on Reddit that they once found a cockroach inside, for instance.
