The pros: Super chocolatey waffles that are good for breakfast, a snack or dessert. Trader Joe's Chocolate Chip Waffles is a nice flavor addition to the fruit and spice flavors already at Trader Joe's, but is seasonal.
The cons: If you don't like chocolate, you will certainly not like these. Flavor and texture of chocolate chip wasn't really there.
The verdict: For $2.29 these are slightly more expensive than the other varieties, but so worth it. This waffle is very chocolatey but is light on the chips part. My suspicion is that chocolate chips won't hold up well to a waffle iron. This can be enjoyed with a number of syrups, not just maple. Whipped cream and ice cream would go well here too. Sadly, these were around for the holiday season and are a seasonal product. This is one product that I wish would be made permanent.

Would I buy this again? Yes! Absolutely, while Trader Joe's Chocolate Chip Waffles are not particularly beautiful to photograph, they were very tasty, chocolatey and not overwhelming in calories. While lacking in chocolate chips, they would compliment almost anything dessert related, so chocolate chips could be added then. They only thing I can't see them complimenting is chicken and waffles. A nice addition to the freezer aisle.

We absolutely love these!!!!! But the are a "seasonal" product! Booooo! If I would have known.....
Any idea who manufactures these? Our Trader Joe's might be discontinuing them!!
I'm not sure who manufactures these. Trader Joe's likes to be vague and secretive. I haven't seen these around since last year. They were seasonal so they appeared and disappeared right after New Years. I hope they bring them back. They were pretty good.
Are they going to bring it back at Trader Joe’s the chocolate chip waffles ? My kids love them but I don’t see them anymore?
Hey Aurine! I haven't seen them since this post was last published. I loved these too. They were seasonal unfortunately.
In what months do they usually have this in stock? I need!
Hey Linda! They only offered it once during the holiday season and I haven't seen it since. I wish I had a better answer.
