Nuts About Rosemary Mix: 

Every good party needs a good bar mix. While you may not have a literal bar set up at your to-do, if you’re serving beverages of any kind – alcoholic or no – your guests will want some type of snack they can just grab by the handful. To that end, last year, we introduced Step Up To The Bar Snack Mix to, honestly, tremendous applause. Of course we knew it was good going in (that’s why we brought it in, silly), but we were truly surprised by the level of excitement the mix generated. It got us thinking… a savory mix made entirely of nuts… and we were on a mission.

That mission led to the creation of this year’s mega mix, Trader Joe’s Nuts About Rosemary Mix. As intended, this one’s all about the nuts. Inside the canister are copious quantities of roasted almonds, cashews, hazelnuts (aka Filberts), and pecans, blended with a rosemary-sea salt blend and spiked with just a touch of sugar (when we say just a touch, we mean less than one gram of added sugar per serving). This is the kind of Mix you can add to a cheese tray at an elegant soirée one night, and enjoy by the handful during a football game the next. No matter the party occasion, this Mix presents a delicious opportunity to mix things up a bit. In case gift-giving is on your mind, it’s worth noting that it also makes an excellent addition to a gift basket for a favorite foodie.

 

Pound Plus Milk Chocolate Bar: 

This is a craveable bar of lusciously creamy Belgian milk chocolate with rich caramel, crunchy pretzel bits, and just enough flaky sea salt to tickle your taste buds and tempt you to take another bite. It’s wrapped in a festively-designed package (especially festive for the pretzel lovers out there), and scored for easy breaking apart — whether this is for portion control, shareability, or ease of individual eating is for you to decide.

Like its Pound Plus counterparts, this Milk Chocolate with Caramel, Pretzel Bits & Sea Salt makes a great stocking stuffer, is big enough to wrap and gift, and serves as a satisfying in-car snack after an exhausting holiday shopping day.

 

Dark chocolate organge: 

Sometimes the latest technology produces the most interesting results. But other times, it’s the things you remember from long ago, the things that create comforting waves of nostalgia, that really hit home. Especially at the holidays. Over the years, Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Orange, our orange-infused chocolate treat, has evolved from the former to the latter.

We’d like to think that our Dark Chocolate Orange is what a tree-grown orange would be if it could choose its own destiny. (Right!?) Like a tree-grown orange, each Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Orange is made up of flavorful individual segments—ours come apart quite easily with a hearty whack on a hard surface (a rather enjoyable activity, we’ll admit). Both versions require peeling—though we’d posit that peeling the foil from our chocolate variety is much simpler than peeling a “real” orange. But the real test is in the tasting, and, well... a Trader Joe’s Chocolate Orange is chocolate, for goodness sake. And really good chocolate, at that, flavored only with natural flavors. It’s an easy win, really.

A Trader Joe’s Chocolate Orange makes an excellent gift and very amusing party favor—just imagine a group of jolly holiday revelers whacking Chocolate Oranges in your living room as the fireplace roars and the music plays. (We didn’t tell you this, but they’re also great for throwing at guests who get a little out of hand...)
