The pros:Â Trader Joe's Brownie Crisps is an easy way to get your chocolate fix. Vegan & gluten free if that is important to you. $2.99 which is reasonable for something in the snack aisle. Another nice alternate for making yourself a 100 calorie snack.
The cons:Â A bit gritty or grainy in texture. Smells like a brownie, tastes like a crisp chocolate cookie. A lot of my crisps were broken from their original square shape.
The verdict:Â ...

Chimichurri sauce for the uninitiated is a South American condiment that contains garlic, cilantro, oil, vinegar, parsley and some form of heat courtesy of either a jalapeno or red pepper flakes. It adds a nice acid to a dish as well as fresh herbs. How is it in Trader Joe's Peruvian Style Chimichurri Rice? I thought it was quite nice. For $2.99 it wasn't a bad deal....
The pros: Â Trader Joe's Buenalba with Sweet Paprika Cheese is a unique tasting cheese that is hard to place. It says that its raw goat and sheep's milk cheese. It truly ended up tasting like Bleu Cheese (If you are into that sort of thing). It's not spicy at all.
The cons: Trader Joe's Buenalba cheese tasted like Blue Cheese and not the velvety smooth goat cheese taste I was looking for.
The verdict: Â ...
Some combinations Trader Joe's come up with are magical. Some are a disaster that leave you in awe that some corporation let it go to market. This is one of those disasters. The concept was good. Cheddar and apples go well. Cinnamon and apples go. Add texture to cheese with a pumpkin pie spice, it just didn't work in Trader Joe's Apple Pie Cheddar Cheese. For $10 per pound, it worked even less. I'm willing to pay for good cheese, but this isn't it. I really wanted to like it. I'd still like to know who approved of this product without tasting it first.
The pros: Â Not that I could think of. Nope. Nothing.
The cons: Â Strange and bizarre taste. Cheddar taste, odd consistency, almost an pumpkin pie taste to it. It was a nice concept, but totally gross.
The verdict: Â ...
