Here’s what new at Trader Joe’s today as spotted in the Pacific Northwest. For those tracking the return of Kimbap in the freezer section sometime this month, it wasn’t at my local today. Anyway, let’s get to it.I’d seen a couple folks mention this Butternut Squash & Caramelized Onion tart online. What they didn’t mention is it’s $9.99! I try not to be the “you could make that” guy, since I know not everyone is big on cooking or has a fully stocked kitchen. But in this case, $9.99 is too rich for my blood. I’d just make it with a frozen pie crust. This was the last one, so maybe I’m...…Here’s what new at Trader Joe’s today as spotted in the Pacific Northwest.

Today we’re going inside a new trick-o-treat candy candidate — Trader Joe’s Wicked Good Mini Chocolate Bars. When I saw the bag online, for some reason I figured it was single serve, but no, this is a 24-piece bag of candy.It features four varieties: Nougat Chocolate Bar (yellow), Caramel & Wafer (black), Nougat & Caramel (purple), and Peanut.& Caramel (dark blue). They’re product of Germany and best I can tell we have Snickers and 3 Musketeers knock-offs plus two others.You’d think with 4 flavors, you’d get 6 of each, but no I only got 5 of two of the flavors. If you’re giving...…Today we’re going inside a new trick-o-treat candy candidate — Trader Joe’s Wicked Good Mini Chocolate Bars.

Today I’ve got a roundup of three quick hit Trader Joe’s reviews for you featuring three of TJ’s newest fall items. Read on for my take on Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Overnight Oats, Brigadeiros, and Butternut Squash Lasagna.I’m not a huge overnight oats person but the Pumpkin Overnight Oats leans pumpkin pie with some oats. The ingredient is straight forward and it’s got dates in the mix, so it’s not overly sweet. But something about eating it cold is weird for me, so I’d get it again, but I’d probably end up mixing half the container into a hot bowl of oatmeal. It does stick to your bones. I had...…Today I’ve got a roundup of three quick hit Trader Joe’s reviews for you featuring three of TJ’s newest fall items.

Not everybody goes bonkers over fall flavors, so let’s do a not-pumpkin What’s New at Trader Joe’s this week.First up, brigadeiros. I usually associate these little fudgy truffle-like bon bons with Brazil rather than Portugal. I’ve got a few thawing on the counter now. It says to let them thaw for 2 hours, but we’re not gonna be able to wait that long. Find them in the freezer section.Next up, dill pickle chips. If you like chips rather than spears, Trader Joe’s got ya covered. My store still had the ones in the tub, so I don’t know if this is gonna be a 1:1 replacement. Find them in the...…Not everybody goes bonkers over fall flavors, so let’s do a not-pumpkin What’s New at Trader Joe’s this week.First up, brigadeiros.
