The best Joe has to offer

Almond Ring Danish The quality of this danish is frankly subpar. It’s reasonably tasty but kind of stiff and dry. Furthermore, the size at which this danish is baked is abominable. It’s far too large to eat in one sitting: the serving size is ⅛ of the full danish. Why bother? Trader Joe’s is selling an oversized danish that can’t be comfortably broken up. Just sell smaller danishes. Extremely disappointing.

Honey Wheat Pretzel Sticks I usually am not a fan of a salty and sweet combo in my savory snacks, especially with pretzels. These are a wonderful exception. They’re delicious; you cannot have enough in your mouth at once. The combination of honey wheat and salt somehow works; it’s magic.

Dark Chocolate Cherries I dislike dark chocolate. That being said, these are pretty tasty. The cherries are nice and tart and have an appropriate amount of chocolate on top of them. If you like dark chocolate, you’ll enjoy these. However, they can get surprisingly messy, as the chocolate is very crumbly, making them less transportable and less effective as an on-the-go snack than they seem at first glance.

Anita Beroza Raisin Rosemary Crisps These are top-tier. They’re incredibly versatile, able to go with other sweet or savory snacks without breaking a sweat. They went surprisingly well with the instant ramen. The raisins bring a nice variety of texture, and you can eat far more than the serving size without getting tired of them.

Chicken Ramen Soup This is the first instant ramen I’ve ever had, and it’s alright. It has a pretty solid flavor, but it’s nothing special. The noodles are delicious, and the preparation instructions are easy to follow. The broth is too salty, though.
