Trader Joe’s is known for its fun and unique snacks, and they just came out with three new ones: Soft Pretzels, Kettle Corn, and Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Cone Tips.
Soft Pretzels – ★★★★☆
Trader Joe’s Soft Pretzels come ready to eat, but it is recommended to heat them up. They have a slightly crispy texture on the outside but are super chewy and soft on the inside, making them taste as if they were just baked fresh in a bakery. The pretzels come with a salt packet to add before baking the pretzel, which gives control of how salty the pretzel is. While they’re yummy on their own, the pretzel flavor is elevated with pub cheese dip or covered in warm butter.
Kettle Corn – ★★★★★
Trader Joe’s kettle corn is the perfect snack that combines sweet and salty while bringing an addictive, satisfying crunch. The amount of popcorn in the bag is generous, making it awesome for sharing or eating all alone. This popcorn is the perfect light sweet treat. It’s dangerously addictive, so don’t be surprised if the bag is gone faster than expected!
Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Cone Tips – ★★★★☆
These little chocolate-filled cone tips are a smart idea. You can eat arguably the best part of an ice cream cone without having to actually eat the ice cream. They taste like the end of a Drumstick ice cream cone. With a smooth, dark chocolate filling and the crunch of the waffle cone, they’re perfect for snacking. Although they can be a little too rich if too many are eaten at once, they are a very fun and nostalgic treat.
Jo Gjersten, who is a sophomore at Olympia High School, is one of Trader Joe’s biggest fans. She goes to the shop there almost every weekend and is always in search of their new items to test out. She said, “I would most likely try the chocolate waffle cones because they sound delicious and I really like chocolate.”
Trader Joe’s continues to come out with new great snacks, with the kettle corn having the highest rating. The soft pretzels are a solid option for a quick, salty treat, and the chocolate cone tips are a fun novelty. Definitely worth trying if you’re searching for something new.
