Vanilla Cake Mix
Very simple, not too rich but very flavorful and quite delicious! I prefer to make my cakes from scratch, but in a pinch, this tastes nothing like mix and impressed my guests.

Savory French Apple Tart
This light and delicious apple pastry is in the Alsace-Lorraine style. If you like Trader Joe’s carmelized onion, ham, and gruyere tart, you’ll like this as well. It’s the same style tart in a sweet version, instead of savory. Paper thin pastry is coated with a thin cream custard and then …
Trek Mix Cookies
Oh my. these are dangerous. If you’re a fan of the “sweet, salty and nutty” combo in food, you’ll find these cookies as wonderful as I did. TJ’s has taken it’s popular Sweet Salty Nutty Trek Mix and added it to a very crispy cookie base. The result is the new …
Mini Peanut Butter Cups
These are the mini version of the larger peanut butter cups that TJ carries. I thought these would be great for portion control, but THEY ARE NOT. These are so good!! I usually keep them in the freezer, b/c I like them frozen or I mix with vanilla ice cream.
Dark Chocolate Covered Soy Nuts
These pack a lot of soy protein into each serving and the chocolate is dark and rich. Totally addictive. I hope they never discontinue these.
Dark Chocolate Roasted Pistachio Toffee
Better than sex. Great dark chocolate flavor, savory toffee and deliciously fatty pistachios. I should stop buying these, but I can't.

Trader Jacques Fleur de Sel Caramels
Soft butter caramels with sea salt in wooden slat container. Holiday item.
Liquer Cake Cointreau Flavor
Normally I would pass on these but they were on sale for .99 each, so I had to try them. This is basically a pound cake drenched with Cointreau. Very moist and full of flavor, this is a steal at the price I bought it. I would say it was worth …
Dreaming of Venice
All the taste of this classic Venetian torte but without the bad smell from the Grand Canal. I don’t know if this is really an authentic Venetian torte, or if a native of Venice would even recognize it, but here is what the box says: Caramel and hazelnut cream, pistachio biscuit, …
