When I saw The Impulsive Buy‘s “Spotted On Shelves” feature on these Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Speculoos Cookie Butter Cups, I had to zip out to Trader Joe’s and get some to try for myself. I had previously loved the chocolate bar version of these, so I was excited to try them in cup form. The…

Trader Joe’s Chocolate Covered Sea Salt Butterscotch Caramels
These chocolate covered sea salt butterscotch caramels are the last of my weekend Trader Joe’s candy finds. They came in a stand-up bag with a resealable zipper top. The description on the back was loquacious: “intense and creamy, deeply flavored butterscotch caramels are tinged with sea salt and enrobed in dark, slightly bitter chocolate to…
Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Salted Caramel Truffles
I’m so terrible about impulse buys at Trader Joe’s. Everything looks awesome! Like these Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Salted Caramel Truffles. What a mouthful of a title! Which came with a mouthful of a blurb on the box: “our three most popular flavors combined to create a sensational, sweet, salty bite. Rich, melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate…
Trader Joe’s Organic Stone Ground 70% Cacao Extra Dark Chocolate
These disks of Organic Stone Ground 70% Cacao Extra Dark Chocolate (what a mouthful!) caught my eye at Trader Joe’s. They looked suspiciously similar to Taza’s Mexicanos (previously reviewed here), and Trader Joe’s is known for unbranding and selling name-brand things at a discount. The Trader Joe’s version was $3.99. Taza Mexicanos currently run just shy…
Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Bar – Toffee with Walnuts and Pecans
Today I’m reviewing a second Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Bar on the heels of Wednesday’s review (that I briefly accidentally posted on Tuesday; oops!). This time, it’s toffee with walnuts and pecans. Here’s its epic description from the back of the box: “The beauty of caramelized sugar reveals itself in flying colors when mixed with…
Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Bar – Caramel with Black Sea Salt
This Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Bar comes with fun old-timey art on the front and a lengthy narrative on the back of the box. Ready? “Exotic Hawaiian Black Sea Salt hails from the Pacific seawater that surrounds the Hawaiian islands. This stunning black salt is evaporated in above ground pools that form naturally from lava…
Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Almond Toffee
These Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Almond Toffees are packaged and priced like their Tahitian Vanilla Caramels. I somehow missed them when I bought the caramels, but I nabbed them for a taste test on a recent visit. The bag called them “crunchy toffee and roasted California almonds, covered with premium dark chocolate.” They were shiny…
Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate filled with Chocolate Buttercream
Here’s my second (and final. ARG!) review of the Trader Joe’s Belgian chocolate bars, the Dark Chocolate {filled with} Chocolate Buttercream. As with Monday’s review of the milk chocolate and caramel bar, we shall now dispense with the silly {}s. This bar was also comprised of six attached, filled segments. The dark chocolate was nicely…
Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate filled with Caramel
Trader Joe’s recently introduced a new line of Belgian chocolate bars {filled with} stuff. They made a big splash on my radar because one of them was {filled with} speculoos cookie spread, which is SO MUCH NOMS!, and my Trader Joe’s didn’t carry them and probably never will. Instead, it carried the other two, caramel…
Trader Joe’s Soft Peanut Brittle
Happy Leap Day! If you cry, Leap Day William might bring you some candy… This bag of Soft Peanut Brittle was yet another Trader Joe’s impulse buy for me. I think its proper name is Trader Joe’s Soft Peanut Brittle Covered in Milk Chocolate. The bag deemed it a “flaky, crispy peanutty treat.” It came…
