Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups

2 · Feb 17, 2019 · 2 Comments

An unopened package of 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

7 · Feb 7, 2019 · 6 Comments

An unopened bag of 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

5 · Feb 3, 2019 · 10 Comments

Trader Joe's Candy Coated Chocolate Peanuts unopened and on a dark surface

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 Dark Chocolate Mini Heart Cookies

17 · Jan 21, 2019 · 2 Comments

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Mini Heart Cookies box

There is something special about the holidays and Trader Joe’s. I’m not mentioning this because Valentine’s Day is coming up. I’m reflecting on this past holiday season.  As a foodie, going in there was almost as exciting as going into FAO Schwartz as a kid.  Now kids won’t even know what that is.   Alas, Trader Joe’s has found a way to extend the holidays for just a bit longer.  And perhaps your waistline too.  …

Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chip Pain Au Lait

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?

Trader Joe’s Brookie

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Brookie on a marble countertop

So in case you didn’t have enough sweets and cookies and candies yet, I figured I’d cover this item before New Year’s Day arrives when healthier eating seems in order. Yes, this is another example of a hybrid food much in the way a Cronut is kinda donut and kinda croissant.

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Chocolat En Croute

Let me apologize in advance for all the goodies that are going to be posted on this blog over the next month. I like reviewing real food, but this time of year all the goodies are out. Including this fancy breakfast/dessert that is so fancy it didn’t feel like it needed the “e” in chocolat.

Trader Joe’s Chocolate Salted Caramel Mug Mix

Trader Joe's Chocolate Salted Caramel Mug Mix

It’s been over a year since I last review Trader Joe’s Chocolate Lava Cakes. While both Trader Joe’s Chocolate Salted Caramel Mug Mix and Lava Cake desserts go into the microwave and yield a similar outcome in terms of texture, this mug cake won’t take up any space in your freezer.

Trader Joe's ABC Bars

Just in time for school to start are Trader Joe’s ABC Bars. I’m not sure if they chose the letters to coincide with the start of school or it just is one big Jackson 5 reference that they were running with based on the fact that these are Almond Butter Cocoa Bars….

Trader Joe's Hot Cocoa Organic Frosted Toaster Pastries

The pros: Trader Joe’s Hot Cocoa Organic Frosted Toaster Pastries is new and dressed up for cooler weather.

Trader Joe’s Milk and Dark Chocolate Butterscotch Bits Bar

6 · Aug 2, 2018 · Updated October 29, 2018 · 8 Comments

Trader Joe's Milk and Dark Chocolate Butterscotch Bits Bar

The pros:Trader Joe’s Milk and Dark Chocolate Butterscotch Bits Bar is basic chocolate. It’s inexpensive.

The cons: This bar is terribly designed. The ridges are too big for most mouths. I could not break off just a piece without reaching for a knife. The use of the word bits here is an understatement.

Trader Joe's Chocolate Covered Wafer Cookie package

The pros: Trader Joe’s Chocolate Covered Wafer Cookie are new and inexpensive. They are pretty decent.

The cons: I hoping for this to be Trader Joe’s copy cat Kit Kat. I did not rise to that level. They can’t be split easily for sharing or portion control. If you have allergies, this too contains a long list of possible allergens.

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Gone Berry Crazy box on a red background

The pros: Trader Joe’s Gone Berry Crazy are the perfect addition to the freezer aisle. If you loved Gone Bananas! then this will probably be a hit for you.

The cons: Milk chocolate fans need not apply here. This product does have dairy in it so it is not vegan. The box is small on this as well. I’m deeply hoping this isn’t a seasonal flavor.

Trader Joe's Ruggedly Adventuresome Cowboy Bark bag

The pros: Trader Joe’s Ruggedly Adventuresome Cowboy Bark is uniquely named and very rich.

The cons:  This product isn’t really bark and it isn’t appropriate for cowboys. Maybe if this were chocolate covered jerky the name would be more fitting.

The verdict:  …

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Chocolate Pecan Pie Bar box

The pros: Trader Joe’s Chocolate Pecan Pie Bar is a solid option in the baked good aisle. It’s a reasonable sized dessert if you are having company.

The cons: Like most Pecan Pies, this one does not shy away from the calories. However, one serving is quite a generous size. Would be better if this had some bourbon flavoring to it.

Trader Joe's Mini Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

The pros: Trader Joe’s Mini Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are addicting and a better balance of peanut butter and milk chocolate than the full sized ones they sell.

Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Truffles

6 · Mar 24, 2018 · Updated October 29, 2018 · 2 Comments

Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate Truffles

The pros:  Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Truffles have a nice shell and a soft interior that might remind you of something close to a Lindor truffle.

The cons: Wrapped this looks more like the Death Star than an Easter candy. No option for Dark Chocolate fans.

Trader Joe’s Chocolate Sunflower Seed Drops

7 · Feb 25, 2018 · Updated October 29, 2018 · 3 Comments

Trader Joe's Chocolate Sunflower Seed Drops package

The pros:  Trader Joe’s Chocolate Sunflower Seed Drops reminded me of peanut M&M’s except these are much smaller, more filling, and well, no peanuts in them but…

The cons:  While they taste like peanut M&Ms, the allergy warning does mention some possible cross contamination. Don’t leave these in direct sunlight as the natural food coloring will fade extremely quickly.

The verdict:  …
