Everybody's got their favorites in the cornucopia of Trader Joe's fall offerings. But as soon as I got wind of Trader Joe's Maple Leaf Ice Cream Sandwiches, I knew they were gonna be at the top of the Must Try list. I've been a fan of the Maple Leaf cookies with maple creme filling, so…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Passion Fruit Sorbet

It's no secret that I am a big fan of passion fruit (aka lilikoi), so I am loving Trader Joe's being in their Passion Fruit era. From the Passion Fruit Rounds to the Passion Fruit Spindrift to Passion Fruit Meringue Tartlettes, I am all about it. Now, Trader Joe's has added a concentrated punch of…

Trader Joe’s New Chocolate Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches

Trader Joe's Chocolate Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches are a no-brainer. But what you need to know is, there are only 2 to a box ($4.99). So make sure you get enough for everyone, because there will be fights over these. The box advises letting them thaw for 5 minutes, but you really don't need to.…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Blood Orange Mochi Ice Cream

Orange is not typically my go-to flavor. And in most desserts it's whatever, take-it-or-leave-it for me. But blood orange is something special. There's something about that slightly berry note in it, maybe? So Trader Joe's Blood Orange mochi ice cream? Into the basket it goes! For me, the ice cream is somewhere between sherbet…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Bubble Waffles

There are only 4 waffles in a package of Trader Joe's Bubble Waffles ($4.49). So let me tell you upfront, you might want to grab 2 boxes. They live up to the description on the box: crispy edges with a chewy mochi-like middle. Making them perfect for bending in a taco shape. Especially since they're…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Salted Caramel Hold the Dairy Cones

I was a big fan of Trader Joe's original non-dairy Hold the Cones in Chocolate, so I had high hopes for this salted caramel follow up. Now, I know a lot of people are sick of salted caramel, but when it's done right, it's still one of my faves. Trader Joe's Salted Caramel Hold the…

What’s New at Trader Joe’s – August 14, 2023 Edition

It's a light week for What's New at Trader Joe's. But at long last, the Hold the Dairy Salted Caramel mini cones landed! I liked the original chocolate version a lot, so I have high hopes for these. The Salted Caramel ice cream is rice beverage-based (versus coconut in the chocolate version). And interestingly, they're…
