I've tried both the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip and the Chocolate Ghram Tocans and both are delicious. The small size of the individiual cookies means you get several in the small bag, so it really feels l ...
This is my default desert nowadays. I've had it maybe 15 times. The cake itself is fairly heavy, dense and rich, not fluffy. What I find unique here is the cream cheese icing, which- SURPRISE!- tas ...

I tried this a few years ago for the first time and was underwhelmed. The main problem for me was the phylo dough which came out dry and crispy. For some reason, I tried it again and with one simp ...
Four elements combine here to produce an almost perfect desert. The right amount of rich, creamy flan, flavorful apricots, a rich crumb topping, all topped on a buttery phyllo crust. Each element ad ...
Sells for $4.99 for just under a pound. It's not too sweet, but is rather sticky. On the whole I liked it, but some pieces were tastier than others. I'd give it a 7/10. It's something different and ma ...
These are some delicious cookies made with wheat, sugar, butter, almonds and not much else! Very tasty with milk, coffee, or tea. A very grown-up treat!
One of the more unsusual products at TJ's. It is a sorbet made from the Acai berry, from Brazil, along with some bananas. It is dark in color and has a berry-banana taste, as would be expected. Rec ...
You can find these with the other boxed cookies. They are described as soft, chocolate brownie cookies with mini chocolate chips. Excellent cookies, just realize they are brownie cookies, not real ...
You may have noticed the flurry of new deserts at your local TJ's in the past few weeks. The Blueberry Blintz Cheesecake is the one that really caught my eye. I am a lover of the traditional, but ...

For crust: 6 ounces gingersnap cookies (about 24 cookies) 6 tablespoons butter, melted 2 tablespoons sugar For filling: 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened 1 jar Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Butter 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping, thawed 1/3 cup jarred caramel topping 1/4 cup chopped salted peanuts To make crust, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the gingersnaps in a food processor and process until finely ground. Add butter and 2 tablespoons sugar, and process briefly until thoroughly combined. Press the mixture on the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Cool completely on rack. To make the filling, place the cream cheese in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the pumpkin butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla and beat until well blended. Gently fold in the whipped topping. Pour filling into cooled crust. Drizzle caramel topping over filling, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Not bad but a bit disappointing. Not nearly as good as Ross sugar-free chocolates which feature good qu ...
I was on the hunt for a new dessert. Tired of ice cream, cookies, and the effort to create everything in between, I went to Trader Joe’s in search of a treat not tried before.
Weaving my way in and out of the aisles like a serpent seeking a mouse, and almost gave up. I had resigned my search and decided to settle for a cold quart of ice cream – until I happened to glance to my right. What do we have here? I spotted something I had never seen before, and (admittedly) had trouble pronouncing the word “Clafoutis” printed so delicately on the box.
This was it! Trader Joe’s cherry Clafoutis had been here, hiding, awaiting my discovery. The picture of the twin tarts had me sold, and up to the register I went.
I got home, and placed them in the freezer. Then, a funny thing happened. I didn’t try them that night – or even the next week. The time just didn’t seem right. I just had to have a great dinner as a precursor to my perfect dessert.
As I was preparing dinner, I began thinking about those cherries enveloped just so, in the soft pockets of the clafoutis. The urge was too compelling; I opened the box, and popped them into the oven at 350°.
Five minutes later, like the instructions said, I took my Clafoutis out of the oven and onto a plate, like a doctor delivering a baby.
They smelled AMAZING. I would describe the aroma like a cross between French toast and cherry pie. And to my delight, that’s exactly what they tasted like! I drizzled a tiny bit of Wholesome Sweeteners Blue Agave Nectar (which is also available at Trader Joe’s) on top, and I was in heaven.
Spongy like custard, and oh so moist, the cherries were perfectly tart. Imagine a pancake crossed with French toast, flan and a Danish - with cherries on top. These would have been great served with breakfast too!
These are the best little cookies! I was lured into buying them as they had them out at the sample kitchen and I couldn't resist. Normally, I am not a big cookie person, but these are unusually good ...
I have been waiting a few years for Trader Joe's to come out with a cherry pie. Most cherry pies I see are loaded with corn syrup and are usually dissapointing. This one however, is made with all go ...
These little tartlets are an amazing combo of crispy, flaky pastry, chewy caramel and smooth chocolate. They are, not surprisingly, very VERY sweet and so I eat them one by one every now and then. The ...
