We Tried Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Liege Waffles

DUDE. Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spice Liege Waffles ARE SO SWEET. People went ga-ga over the regular ones in the light blue bag, so I thought, well, maybe these will be good, too. I was skeptical when I saw how small they are for the nutrition facts they're packing, but thought hey, we'll throw one in…

When you get a scone at the store, it seems like there's a 75% possibility it'll be dry and chalky. Trader Joe's is solving that problem by serving up ready-to-bake pumpkin ginger scones in its frozen section. I baked up a few this morning for breakfast. And I think these are gonna be one of…
