When we first heard about Trader Joe's Coffee and Dark Chocolate Joe-Joe's last week, I wondered out loud if they could possibly be even better than the peanut butter version. Welp, here's the verdict. No, they're not.
Now look, don't get me wrong, these are perfectly tasty, but when we're talking about 6g of…
I'm forever the person who finds a lot of Trader Joe's desserts on the too sweet side, so I expected these Trader Joe's Shortbread Sandwich cookies with Raspberry Filling would be too much for me. Much the way those Strawberry Shortcake cookies were a sugar bomb. But I gotta tell ya, for me, these are…
So much of the cult of Trader Joe's is built on FOMO over new products. And though supply chains seem more stable this year, people are still hoarding and reselling TJ's products on ebay and elsewhere. Well, I've got two new products that you definitely SHOULDN'T be worried about missing: Trader Joe's Caramel Apple Mochi…
Trader Joe's French Chocolate Crepe Wafer Cookies are a really effective way to get chocolate into your face. The crepe layers are seriously so thin and crunchy. And wrapped, dare I say, enrobed(?) in milk chocolate? Delicious.
There are three cookies stacked in each compartment for a total of 21. A few on the…
I've got some good news and some bad news. Ok, bad news first. There are only 8 cookies in a box of Trader Joe's Chocolate Peanut Butter Joe-Joe's. The good news? Now you know you should buy two boxes on your next TJ's trip.
So, this is a Joe-Joe with a peanut butter filling, dipped…
So, I know we're past Valentine's Day, but I had to go ahead and document Trader Joe's Heart Macarons. Holiday-related items have been flying out the door and I knew I wouldn't get a second shot at picking these up. And I didn't want to be the jerk buying the last two boxes at…
Trader Joe's Coconut Crispy Rolls are super addictive ($1.99 for 2.82 oz box). There's not a lot to them - it's just like, coconut milk, eggs, black sesame, tapioca starch.
In Thailand, they're called thong muan and they're made on hot presses, almost like Italian pizzelles. They have the texture of French pirouline cookies.…
While Oreo has been on a tear introducing limited edition flavors over the last few years, Trader Joe's effort has been more measured, lining up with their pushes around various flavors. There have been Mango Joe-Joe's, Mocha Joe-Joe's, Matcha Joe-Joe's, and everyone's perennial holiday favorite: the Peppermint Joe-Joe. Now, Trader Joe's has delivered an old…
This month, @RainyDayBites' Instagram-based cookbook baked from Sweet by Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh. There have been some pretty impressive bakes and a whole lotta butter spread across several feeds. The two challenges for the month were Blackberry and Star Anise Friands (p. 103) and Take Home Chocolate Cake (p. 152).
I don't consider myself an…
You may have breezed past these Pretzel Linzers with Salted Caramel when you picked up Deb Perelman's latest, Smitten Kitchen EveryDay. When I did my first look at the book, they caught my eye, but weren't the first thing I made. The linzers are tucked in the back with desserts, right next to a bakery style…
