I love a good dip. A dip is something that I usually order as an appetizer when I go out to eat. But sometimes there are quiet nights where we just watch TV, Netflix, or a movie on DVD. So we make ourselves a couple of drinks and enjoy snack food rather and a real meal. Of all the dips I’ve tried Trader Joe’s Spinach and Artichoke Dip is my favorite. …

Trader Joe’s Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie Baking Mix
In my experience, there have been a number of products where the directions are less than perfect. Some have been outright wrong. However, there are some products where the directions could have been written a bit clearer which includes this Trader Joe’s Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie Baking Mix.

Trader Joe’s Cookie Trio Set
‘Twas a day or two before Thanksgiving and all through my house, was a lady scrambling to make a lot of stuff. Maybe you felt the same way too. Tuesday night was filled with making goodies for potlucks at work. Wednesday night was filled with making things for Thanksgiving.

Trader Joe’s Oven Baked Cheese Bites with Black Truffle
Don’t adjust your monitors. I nearly walked past this item on the new items display. Every now and again they put items that are currently on shelves on that display. I noticed the bag was a bit faded out and took a closer look, only to realize this is different, this is Trader Joe’s Oven-Baked Cheese Bites with Black Truffle.

Trader Joe’s Butter Toffee Coated Virginia Peanuts
So if it is that amazing combination of sweet and salty, then Trader Joe’s has a wide selection to satisfy that desire. Specifically, if it is the butter toffee sweet and salty you are hoping for then you have two solid options on shelves: pretzels and these peanuts.

Trader Joe’s Super Sour Scandinavian Swimmers
I remember as a kid, we used to compete who could stick the most sour candies into their mouth without spitting them out or tearing up. Sour patch kids were the start, but when Warheads came out that was a complete uplevel. Now, granted those lemon Warheads didn’t stay sour for very long without sweet relief, but for the time they were quite a challenge.
…
Trader Joe’s Vegan Ranch Dip
For the most part, when I want Ranch dressing or dip, I make it at home. I found a mix I really love and it only takes 2 ingredients to whip up a dip that tastes better than store bought. It doesn’t last as long as store bought, but then I make enough that I would consume. But usually those two ingredients are often: mayo and buttermilk. Neither are vegan friendly items. However, when I saw people raving about Trader Joe’s Vegan Ranch Dip I was curious as to how good it could be.

Trader Joe’s Ketchup Flavored Spud Crunchies
It wasn’t long ago that I reviewed Trader Joe’s Patio Potato Chips. If anything, I learned that I did actually like the ketchup flavor that was found in that bag. Now they’ve transformed the powdered flavoring and put it on a slightly different shaped spud. Enter Trader Joe’s Ketchup Flavored Spud Crunchies.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Carrots of Many Colors
You might look at this product and say, “Wait haven’t you already reviewed Trader Joe’s Organic Carrots of Many Colors before?” And the answer is sort of. You see these carrots are dehydrated, I’ve reviewed the fully hydrated bag of Trader Joe’s Carrots of Many Colors and Trader Joe’s Colorful Carrot Coins previously. This now makes the third colorful carrot product I’ve reviewed so far.

Trader Joe’s Mini Gummy Bears on a Chocolate Pool Day
Overall, 2019 has brought us quite a few sweet treats. This is pretty interesting considering I know I have a good number of my readers and friends who are low carb. So, I’m still wondering why Trader Joe’s hasn’t pushed harder on the low carb front. But nonetheless, there must be a good amount of people out there who have solid sweet tooths. If you are buying Trader Joe’s Mini Gummy Bears on a Chocolate Pool Day is just another way Trader Joe’s is appealing to those people.

Trader Joe’s Patio Potato Chips
When Trader Joe’s hits us with new snacks, it is usually something to get excited over. There have been some real winners in the past. Or at least some polarizing ones like the recently returned popcorn in a pickle and perhaps Trader Joe’s Patio Potato Chips belong in that polarizing category.
…
Trader Joe’s Soft Baked Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Growing up I know there were certain cookies that were more popular than others around the lunch table at school. Chips Ahoy was up there in popularity. I was probably the odd kid who really liked Keebler Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies. There was something in those that vaguely reminded of homemade cookies. So when I saw Trader Joe’s Soft Baked Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies I was hopeful.
…
Trader Joe’s Sweet Sriracha Uncured Bacon Jerky
Bacon. It’s like meat candy all on its own. Add something sweet and spicy and you have on heck of a combination. The combined saltiness and textural elements work so very well in Trader Joe’s Sweet Sriracha Uncured Bacon Jerky.
…
Trader Joe’s 5 Layer Dip
It’s been a while since Trader Joe’s added anything to the dips and hummus options. They’ve taken away items, but not too much has been added back. Well, consider this a vegetarian (at least based on the ingredients) spin on the familiar 7 layer dip. Trader Joe’s 5 Layer Dip is new, delicious, and just needs something to dip it in or scoop it on.
…
Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter Blondies
I love Blondies. I reviewed Trader Joe’s Blondies Bar Baking Mix not too long ago. When my Mom and Sister hear that I’m making a Trader Joe’s run, that is their usual request. That is one of my sister’s favorite items to make and bring to her workplace. Because who doesn’t love the dense blondie nature that reminds you of a big cookie?
…
Trader Joe’s Georgia Pecan Butterscotch Chip Cookies
Two new cookies have hit shelves: Trader Joe’s Georgia Pecan Butterscotch Chip Cookies and the Benne Wafer Cookies. Yes, this has been the year of the snack food. Now despite the words “Georgia” and the color of the bag, there is no peach in this. Nope, just straight up pecan and butterscotch.
…
Trader Joe’s Jerk Style Plantain Chips
Oh Trader Joe’s…how 2019 has become the year of the snack food on shelves. But you see, Trader Joe’s Jerk Style Plantain Chips are different. We’ve now officially elevated the snack into something completely delicious.

Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Caramel Crunch Medallions
I’m not sure if it is palate fatigue, so because I’ve done so many chocolate reviews, over 100 in fact just of Trader Joe’s chocolate products since 2016. That’s a lot of snacks, drinks, and desserts, so here is one more: Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Caramel Crunch Medallions.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Honey Hedgehog Cookies
Here is a quick work place truth: some time after lunch and before it’s time to go, I am some how hungry. If I were still working at an office job, I would have hit the vending machine. However, where I currently work there is no such thing anywhere near me. For better or worse. So that has left me with a plethora of snacks in my desk drawer to avoid spending money at the local stores.

Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chip Cocoa Meringues
If there was one holiday product, that I wish I could go back are review because it would have been helpful, were the Mini Peppermint Meringues. I loved and adored them. They were delicious, crisp, and melted in your mouth like it never happened. And for the most part, you could have had a relatively large serving of them and still felt pretty guilt free. Best of all, they were straight up excellent. Now, we have Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chip Cocoa Meringues to add to our carts.

Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups
I’m pretty sure every candy sale that I’ve ever done or witness that involved a case of chocolate, ended with the packs of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups being sold out first. And there is good reason for it: it’s just delicious. On the shelves of Trader Joe’s we’ve seen the addition of two new “cups” style candies: sunflower seed butter, and this almond butter.
…
Trader Joe’s Ruby Cacao Wafers
Behold! A perfectly timed product gracing shelves in time for Valentine’s Day that is chocolate, but quite different. The color you are seeing here is not the result of coloring of any sort. And apparently, this is a new type of chocolate you can be sure that you’ll be seeing more of whether you find it at Trader Joe’s or available commercially.
…
Trader Joe’s Candy Coated Chocolate Peanuts
I guess Trader Joe’s was feeling many people’s resolve about New Year’s Resolutions. They knew we would cave. So they came out with a long list of sugary items to expedite this process. They’ve welcomed vegan cookies, sunflower seed butter cups, and now these.
…
Trader Joe’s Chocolate Brownie and Vanilla Creme Sandwich Cookies
Vegan cookie review part deux. I figured these cookies need separate reviews. This cookie right here has certain similarities to the lemon variety like the fact it’s vegan, the cookies are huge, and they are new to shelves. However, the taste on these are quite different.
