Product of Italy
Nice little Milk and Honey cookies that are terrific and a great price. I’m calling them tea cookies as they are perfect with tea, or milk, or coffee, or pretty much anything. $2.49 a package. Very tasty. I would buy them again.

Mochi is a very Japanese food product made of “sticky” (glutinous) rice pounded or ground for a long time until the texture becomes very chewy. Mochi has that wonderful chewy texture prominent in many Asian food cultures. Trader Joe’s MOCHI ICE CREAM product is a terrific combination of this plus ice cream and you can find it in the frozen desserts. TJ’s took a hockey puck of ice cream which has the soft chewy mochi dough wrapped around it to encase it. This combination is delicious. TJ’s mochi ice cream treats come in 3 flavors: Strawberry, Vanilla and a Green Tea (Matcha) flavor. All the flavors are really good and worth trying. These little Mochi Ice Cream treats make for an unusual, interesting and yummy dessert that everyone seems to love. I know we do, we buy them all the time, and yes a box seems to go pretty fast. You get six pieces in the box, and the package now goes for $4.79. Well they are a bit special, its not just ice cream. They’re a special dessert, and these are well worth a try. TIP: keep them frozen as it says on the package and take out just before eating (defrost for 3-4 minutes) If they get too melted its very messy to eat but with a plate for run-off you will be safe and yes you will be licking your fingers like we do.

SEASONAL ITEM (ST. PATRICK’S DAY)
I guess someone at Trader Joe’s thinks naming this “Blarney Scone” is pretty funny, huh? It’s Irish Soda Bread just so you know, and not a scone. It’s quite good. Loaded generously with raisins (or are they currents?) I like this best sliced thin and lightly toasted, spread with good butter. Yum! The Irish Soda bread goes for $3.99 for a 20 oz loaf. If you want some, grab it up as I don’t think Trader Joe’s will stock this much more than a week or two around St. Patrick’s Day every year.

Trader Joe’s DARK CHOCOLATE COVERED HONEY GRAHAMS WITH SEA SALT
They are a little thick so quite crunchy. Each small graham is covered with a thick layer of dark chocolate.
The perfect blend of sweet and savory. Thick chocolate covering. Delicious and addictive.
These are my new favorite treats from Trader Joe’s!
$3.99 a package.
I would buy them again.

RAVE
Trader Joe’s Ultra Chocolate Super Premium Ice Cream is a chocolate lover’s dream. This TJ’s ice cream is super rich, intense chocolate flavor that will satisfy any chocoholic’s cravings — and as a self confessed chocoholic I promise you I know what I’m talking about. This is a really terrific high quality premium ice cream, so good it can be a bit hard to stop yourself from having, “Just one more spoonful.” So be warned. Lest you find the 1 quart tub of ice cream half empty and wonder what just happened? It doesn’t come with a Warning label, but it should.
TIP: Sometimes I will grind up dark espresso beans very finely, and sprinkle a bit of espresso coffee over this ultra chocolate ice cream for one of the world’s best combos, coffee and chocolate. The bitter espresso matching perfectly with, and tempering the rich unctuous chocolate. In fact one might match a scoop of this dark chocolate ice cream with a scoop of the also outstanding TJ’s COFFEE BEAN blast ice cream to make another heavenly combination of coffee and choclolate ice creams. Uh oh, I’m getting cravings, just writing that.
Speaking of tempering, let this soften up a wee bit before eating it to enjoy the full flavor. Like any premium ice cream, it’s dense, not full of air like cheap brands of ice cream.
This super premium ice cream goes for $3.99 for a quart tub.

Trader Joe’s OLD FASHIONED CINNAMON GRAHAM CRACKERS
I loved graham crackers when I was a kid and these kind of remind me of the graham crackers we used to eat, which I am guessing were Nabisco’s, except for one thing. These Trader Joe’s cinnamon graham crackers are WAY BETTER than Nabisco. Far better. Besides probably having better sourced ingredients these TJ’s grahams are thicker, heartier and have a way bigger cinnamon flavor. One might call these “gourmet” graham crackers. Both adults and kids will love these as well.
When my wife and I both tasted these for the first time, the two of us immediately gave a big thumbs up at how delicious they are. They have a great blend of cinnamon and sugar. They are simply delicious. I tried them with milk (big thumbs up) as well as with some tea, with coffee, and even ice cream. They were great with those too and great just on their own.
Trader Joe’s Old Fashioned Cinnamon Graham Crackers are $3.99 for a 1 lb box.
I like making a kind of parfait with these and GREEK YOGURT with Honey. They match well together. Layer them, put in the fridge and wait about an hour till they blend together. Yummy and easy dessert.
Bakers: If you make graham cracker crusts these would be fabulous.
I would buy these again
