SuperbOwl Snacks: Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter Cocoa Marshmallows

I rolled into Trader Joe's today hoping they'd have the Heart Macarons, but no dice. Instead, I got a bag of Trader Joe's Peanut Butter Cocoa Marshmallows and some chocolate-dipped Bamba (review to come). Both are great fast snacks for the upcoming big game between the Bengals and the Rams. If you need a…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Okie Dokie Non-Dairy Dessert

Things have been off to a slow start in the New Year, as far as Trader Joe's reviews go. We just aren't getting a lot of the new products that everyone in California has. And between major snow around New Year's and pass closures since then, it's just been a drag. Especially when what…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Ube Mochi Ice Cream

If you're a fan of Trader Joe's ube ice cream or Ube Mochi cake mix, you've probably been waiting for TJ's to bring the two together. Well, now, it's here: Trader Joe's Ube Mochi Ice Cream. The mochi is thinner and stretchier on these than the other mochi ice cream I've had from TJ's. Not…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Vegan Cookies and Creme Bon Bons

I like Trader Joe's Vegan Cookies and Creme Bon Bons. A lot. Even more than the similar non-dairy mint ones they had around the holidays. By the time I got around to trying the mint version, the ice cream was kind of icy and the mint was just ok. Could be I waited too long…

Trader Joe’s May Mini Haul

New (and returning) summer items are rolling into Trader Joe's every few days it seems like...today I picked up some of the new stuff along with my favorite Patio Potato Chips. I'm looking forward to the pineapple fruit spread as a glaze for chicken, maybe little hand pies, we'll see what else I come…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Non-Dairy Oat Milk Fudgesicles

Trader Joe's is killing it on the vegan products lately. But I've especially been liking their ice cream-type products. I mean, the Cold Brew and Boba non-dairy dessert, the Oat Milk Strawberry Ice Cream, love 'em! And now TJ's has a non-dairy Oat Milk Fudgesicle in its freezer section. ( It's got a longer, more…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Joe-Joe’s

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…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Fruity Chewy Candy (yeah, like Starbursts)

Trader Joe's Fruity Chewy Candy definitely lives up to its name. It comes in five fruit flavors -- cherry, strawberry, lemon, raspberry and orange. And, they are definitely on the firm side of chewy. Stick-to-your-teeth chewy! I think you might want to put them in a hot car for 15-20 minutes to soften them up…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Cold Brew and Boba Non-Dairy Dessert

Remember how amazed I was about the Oat Milk Strawberry Ice Cream Trader Joe's came out with last year? So unbelievably creamy for a vegan ice cream! Well, I'll just break it to you now, Trader Joe's Cold Brew and Boba Ice Cream (ok, it's non-dairy) isn't as creamy. But! I still really liked it.…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Stroopwafel Cake Mix

Trader Joe's Stroopwafel Cake Mix might be my fave new product of the 2020 Holiday Season. The one I would seriously like to see show up at other times of the year. I mean, they carry the little stroopwafel cookies all year, and bust out the big ones in a tin for Christmas, so why…
