Trader Joe’s 8 Mini Croissants

71 · Dec 30, 2019 · 49 Comments

An unopened box of Trader Joe's 8 Mini Croissants

Welcome to Trader Joe’s 8 Mini Croissants review 2.0. It should actually be considered 3.0 as I never got a chance to try the original mini croissants. But since publishing this more than a year ago, some very passionate fans of the old product have come out to share their thoughts. And I’m happy to report this product is back and improved from the ones in a bag.

Trader Joe’s Chocolate Croissants

91 · Dec 29, 2019 · 8 Comments

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Chocolate Croissants

Right before I got married, a coworker and I took a Croissant making class at Sur la Table. Yes, I had a fluffy white dress that was tailored to my exact frame and I was making buttered treats. Sorry, not sorry. When I walked away from that class I realized something important: they are a TON OF WORK (and a lot of butter). Labor of love is fine, but even Betty Crocker acknowledged women have things to do most of the time. Why mess with perfection when you can buy Trader Joe’s Chocolate Croissants in the freezer section….

I was beginning to wonder when we would see another cauliflower item appear in Trader Joe’s shelves. And now, it has found its way into breakfast through Trader Joe’s Egg Frittata. But don’t worry, the taste of cauliflower was quite muted.

A bagel and a schmear. As a life long New Yorker, I’m pretty sure there is a certain amount of Yiddish that has been added infused into the local lexicon. And when it comes to bagels there is a reason for this.

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Neapolitan Puffs Cereal

Neapolitan. The classic pairing of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. We first saw this recently with the seasonally available Neapolitan Joe Joe’s. Now we are seeing it in Trader Joe’s Neapolitan Puffs Cereal. Soon, we will revisit this combination where it all started: in ice cream but with Joe Joe’s. Yup, they seem to be capitalizing on that varieties success.

An unopened package of Trader Joe's Pancake Bread

I love a good coffee cake. In fact, I posted a recipe here for an easy crumb cake just the other night if you feel like turning your oven on. If you aren’t in baking, here is a store bought option for you. However, this Trader Joe’s Pancake Bread isn’t quite a coffee cake. It’s not quite a pancake either.

An unopened bag of Trader Joe's Chocolate Chip Pain Au Lait

I wasn’t going to write this review given the time of year. In fact, I’m shocked they picked now to release Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chip Pain Au Lait. I mean we have one Pain Au Lait. Why would we possibly need a second variety right after New Year’s?

An unopened bag of Trader Joe's Ginger Bread Spice Granola

So the Fall brought us Trader Joe’s Apple Caramel Granola, this winter we have been graced by yet another seasonal granola variety. This is Trader Joe’s Gingerbread Spice Granola. But if you loved the sweetness of the Fall’s seasonal granola, I’m not sure you are going to like this. And yes, this granola is vastly different from the Peanut Butter variety that is on shelves year round.

Trader Joe's Hot Cocoa Organic Frosted Toaster Pastries

The Fall items have landed. The Fearless Flyer for September will land in less than two weeks but Trader Joe’s has dropped what looks like a winter seasonal item on us. Yes, the Pumpkin Toaster Pastries are back. As much as I dig the pumpkin items, I do love a break from them as well.

Trader Joe’s 8 Mini Raspberry Pastries

Trader Joe's 8 Mini Raspberry Pastries bag

I remember the first time I went to Costco as a kid. It was a grocery store but smelled so much better. We went early as the first Costco by us was a considerable drive out to Long Island. But oh, the smell of the baked goods section. There are certain stores that the smell just hits you: the ravioli store where I grew up smelled of meats and cheeses, the chocolate store that smelled the way the chocolates tasted, and the fish store you knew that you should never go into.

O and H Danish Bakery Raspberry Kringle out of the package

The pros: O and H Danish Bakery Raspberry Kringle is the newest flavor to hit the shelves at Trader Joe’s, but represents a substantial savings over ordering it online.

The cons: The kringle flavors at Trader Joe’s are only seasonal, but fortunately, all the flavors I’ve tried so far have frozen very well.

My husband loves old movies. He prefers the old ones to the new ones any day of the week. I think I’m a bit snobbier when it comes to movies. I remember my grandparents introduced me to what a black and white TV. It was a Saturday morning. I was looking for cartoons.

An unopened package of Trader Joe's Cream Cheese Brioche Pastries box

There are two kinds of breakfast people: carb people and protein people. I am the first and my husband is without a doubt the second. In the morning, my breakfast for the most part needs to be of the grab and go variety. My husband on the other hand is heavy-handed with the protein whether it is bacon, eggs, steak, or anything else.

Trader Joe's Brioche Toasts box

The pros:  Trader Joe’s Brioche Toasts are a two to three bite size slice of brioche that are crisp and delicious. At under $2 it’s a great deal. It also might have some interesting other applications beyond just appetizers.

The cons:  If you are using this in place of crackers, then consider making sure you have napkins or plates because there will be crumbs from this toast.

The verdict:  …

Trader Joe's Almond Kringle Package

The pros: Trader Joe’s Almond Danish Kringle is not actually a Trader Joe’s branded product, but a well done one. It freezes well and this flavor was delicious. It can be ordered online through the company, however buying it at Trader Joe’s is the most cost effective.

The cons: The flavors of the Kringles can be seasonal. Might be too sweet for some.
