I tried it so you don’t have to.

Brutally honest, occasionally dramatic, and always snack-obsessed—this is where I spill the tea on what’s worth your cart space and what’s better left on the shelf. No fluff, no filters, just real-deal reviews with a side of sass.

Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels

I’ve been eyeing this sweet treat for months and I finally pulled the trigger (the $1.99 trigger). These did not disappoint. The dark chocolate was rich and the caramel was creamy. The caramel is a fudgey consistency, not liquidy. I really enjoyed how thick the dark chocolate was because that gave a luxurious feel. I took off one point because of the salt inconsistency. A couple of chocolates had a huge block of salt on top, whereas others had barely any. Despite the inconsistency, the plethora of sea salt balanced out the chocolate nicely. This product is perfect for satisfying your dark chocolate sweet tooth (on a budget) and would be so cute in a gift basket! What is your favorite dark chocolate dessert?!

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

This is my favorite chocolate candy, in a mini version. You all know what I think of dark chocolate (*cough cough* superior), so this should come as no surprise. This little $0.99 baggy allows me to indulge without having temptation. Who isn’t tempted by the big container of pb cups?! There are 3 servings in the bag which is equivalent to 1 MTJ serving. Perfect. Just kidding, I actually ate this in two sittings but I’d have no problem eating them all! I think having to unwrap them slowed me down. I would definitely pick these up over Reese’s. Have you tried these?!

Dark Chocolate Almonds

We all know that I find dark chocolate to be superior, but the ratio of chocolate to almond was too much. The chocolate coating was extremely thick which took away from the flavor of the almond. I do love that they carry $0.99 options so you can have a little treat in your bag or to bring to the movies (aka what I did). I also enjoy the sizing because then I don’t have to worry about plowing through a big container of them in one sitting! This definitely isn’t my first choice when it comes to the $0.99 options, but I could see myself picking this up again if I were heavily craving something dark chocolate heavy. What’s your favorite little treat item from TJ’s?

Strawberry Licorice Twists

This is one of my most favorite Trader Joe’s candy! It’s taken me months and months to review this product because I’ve never had the self control to take pictures before devouring the bag. This definitely is not like a Red Vine and is not like a Twizzler so I can’t make a comparison. But I can tell you that these are fantastic. I can easily eat a whole bag in one sitting. The strawberry flavor is so good without being too sweet! These are super thick so I consider them to be a two-biter… and that’s ME saying that.

If I weren’t clear enough, these are an all time favorite of mine. I can’t ever get enough of these! I eat them as a dessert, a sweet snack and I always bring them on trips. Speaking of, I just went to Disneyland and brought a bunch of TJ’s snacks! Check out my newest YouTube video where I show you all the snacks I brought! Have you tried this candy?!
