  2. You must try them frozen. They go from being addictive to straight-up crack.

  3. That is so dangerous, Joanna (giggle)..I love almonds!!

  6. Trader Joe's in general is my addiction. Have you seen their honey wheat pretzel sticks?! Unbelievable.

  7. Joanna, I work at a Trader Joe's. I've tried almost everything there, and these are, hands down, no contest, the BEST thing they sell. They are so very, very dangerous that I won't let myself buy them anymore. Now if we happen to have a container open at work, that's an entirely different story! I can't eat them without smiling...something about the yummy dark chocolate followed by that burst of salty almond flavor...so good!

  10. Heavenly. I could eat the tub in a 5 minute sitting. But then I would have to sit for 5 minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Oh, I LOVE these! Salty, sweet, chocolaty, nutty ... perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I like their dark chocolate+ espresso beans + toffee nuggets at the check out counter. They come in a happy round tin. I save the tin and spray paint it and use it to house little button magnets. Delicious first, upcycled second!

    ReplyDelete
  13. oh my - LOVE LOVE LOVE - wish we had a Trader Joe's in TX

    Sun Harvest does sell dark chocolate covered almonds w espresso that do come in a close second....

    ReplyDelete
  14. YES! My husband, who doesn't like dark chocolate, finished the WHOLE CONTAINER. I was livid. : )

    ReplyDelete
  15. oh my gosh.. these things are THE BEST.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I am obsessed with these!!! they also come in a mix of milk chocolate and dark chocolate which are also divine

    ReplyDelete
  17. oh these seem really good - I wish there was a Trader Joes in Ireland

    ReplyDelete
  18. I heart Trader Joe's! Only problem is that I live in Texas... however, just read an article yesterday that they are scouting new sites for TJ stores in Texas and should be opening in early 2012! Thanks to your lovely post, now I'm even more excited!!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  22. Aahh Joanna! I LOVE Trader Joe's. I have yet to try these (although I pretty just made them a necessity pick-up on the way home - especially after Rachel's comment) but I HAVE had their Dark Chocolate Covered Pomegranate Seeds - which are heavenly. Check 'em out. :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hum...probably delicious :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. No I haven't, but they are now on my "Gotta try 'em now" list!! ^_^

    ReplyDelete
  25. I am a big fan of any of TJ's dark chocolate candy - but this I will have to try! Happy Mom's day! xxoo :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. so funny, i bought these last weekend only because the guy at the register saw me eyeballing them and he opened one container for us to try.. needless to say, they barely lasted one day!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Pomegranate Seeds?! amazing!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. My favorites are the dark chocolate covered-cranberries and blueberries. It's healthy because it's fruit, right?

    ReplyDelete
  29. my husband and i LOVE those!!! and they're vegan too :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. I have and I am craving them so bad now.

    ReplyDelete
  31. My mom got me these for Valentines day one year - they are so delicious!! We sadly do not have a TJ's in Texas :(

    ReplyDelete
  32. Whenever I would get any of the Trader Joe's covered nuts I would think that they would last me a week, but they would always be gone within two days. I use to be addicted to the praline ones. I miss Trader Joe's!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Danger! I can't let myself buy those, they are SO goooood!!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. i don't think i could let myself buy them either! i love chocolate and with a little sea salt on top!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Oh man! I'm going there today and picking up some. I could stare in their snack aisle all day long. So many great treats!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yes... Oh my gosh. They are delicious!!! Love TJ's.

    Come visit me on Tumblr!

  37. YEEEEESSSSSSS! I've only had them once - and I ate the whole container in one sitting. Thank goodness TJ's isn't in Colorado or else I'd have a serious issue on my hands.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I used to be an addict as well... to those:)

    ReplyDelete
  39. haha. I love this post! cute.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  41. Um, those are amaziing. AMAZING. And yes, addictive. I used to keep them in my fridge.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Makes me want to CRY!! Our Trader Joes stopped carrying these!! Waaaahhhhhh!! Along with the all time best tortilla chips (Indentity Crisis chips if you have not tried them you must go back now!!!) AND their frozen chocolate covered bananas-- It's a sad sad TJ's time here!! Enjoy!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. YUM! there is no trader joe's within 100 miles of me, but if you're feeling friendly, ship some over? ;) ;)

    ReplyDelete
  44. man i wish i didn't have to drive and hour and a half to get to trader joes.

  45. This is the type of thing I can't keep in the house, because I know I will inhale them all in a day or two. Same with Pirate's Booty...it's so fluffy-crunchy and addictive that I usually eat at least half the bag as soon as I bring it home!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Trader Joe's has some of the best stuff... & I say this a an Canadian where I have to go south to shop there

    ReplyDelete
  47. omg these are crack. I had to force myself to stop buying them because I was making my tongue sore from all the salt.

    ReplyDelete
  48. no I'm on a diet

  49. I there anything that isn't absolutely the best at Trader Joe's? There aren't enough of them in this country!

    ReplyDelete
  50. It's so funny how many people are calling them dangerous- that is wxactly the word that popped into my head when I saw your post!

    They go down far too easy, dunked in my morning coffee.

    ReplyDelete
  51. These sound literally amazing! Salt, chocolate and almonds all together, why don't we have good things in th UK!? xxx

  52. Have you ever tried the chocolate covered edemame beans?? They are SO delicious!! Find them in the same place as the almonds :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. I'm addicted to trader joe's. these are awesome. Have you tried the cocoa batons? They're like crisp little bite size ladyfinger-ish things of perfection.

    ReplyDelete
  54. No but I've heard about them! :D
    I prefer the peanut butter cups myself though!

    ReplyDelete
  55. yes, they are awesome. they were actually my addiction last summer; so much so that it actually makes me nauseated to think about them. they were my "meal" on many summer afternoons. so, enjoy but - be careful! :)

    ReplyDelete
  56. oh man, i practically just inhaled a huge handful of chocolate-covered cashews they were so good! i know i'd love these as well!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Trader Joes makes the best dark chocolate covered esperesso beans!

  59. So good! You should try the Dark Chocolate Blueberries from TJs!

    ReplyDelete
  60. these are my absolute favorites!!! totally and completely addicting.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I have to second (third? fourth?) the choc-covered blueberry rec. I keep them in the fridge - it's especially nice for a cool treat in summer (:

    ReplyDelete
  62. those things are amazing!! almonds and dark chocolate are healthy so you shouldnt feel so bad...hehe.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Ooh, haven't had those, but did eat a whole container of the dark chocolate rocky road bites. Delish!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I love these....I just bought some a couple weeks ago...I live 2.5 hours from the nearest Trader Joes...so as much as I want to devour them all I must make them last!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Ok, here is another addiction for you to add to the mix: dark chocolate covered almonds that look like golden eggs. SO pretty and SO delicious!!

  66. Haven't tried them, but MAN, they sounds delicious! I horribly miss not having a TJ's where I'm living now!

    ReplyDelete

  72. These. Are. Straight. Crack. For the love of a scale, these are straight up delish.

    ReplyDelete
  73. umm...so I was actually already eating some when I pulled up my blog reader and saw this post. Ha!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I agree like whoa.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Definately Delish!! Have you tried their biscotties?...well, don't cause you won't EVER put them down!


    Love Trader Joes!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Trader Joe's always does it. Somehow they seem to get me hooked on everything they sell. If you think those are habit forming, stay away from the dark chocolate peanut butter cups. You will need rehab after those :)

    ReplyDelete
  77. Everything good comes from Trader Joe's.

    ReplyDelete
  78. While at Trader Joe's yesterday, I convinced myself that I did not need these. I guess that I was very very wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  79. don't try dark covered acai berries then...

    ReplyDelete
  80. joanna, i don't know whether to love you or hate you for this recommendation! i just dropped my husband off at tj's (he works there) and HAD to buy these--YUM!

    ReplyDelete
  81. Oh gosh, leave it to trader joes. Their treats are dangerously good.

    Wow, literally picked up a pack this week for the first time. So good.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I got these a few weeks ago and cannot stop eating them. The salty-sweet combo is amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  84. I love all the chocolate covered things in Trader Joe's - like the espresso beans!!!

    ReplyDelete
  85. i love these! but i only buy them when i'm going on a road trip because i'll eat them all in one day.

    ReplyDelete
  86. these are AMAZING! one of my absolute fave tj's treats! a weakness of mine for sure! :)
    j.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Really? When it comes to sweet meets savory I prefer the battle in my mouth to last a little longer - these are instantly way saltier than sweet! I love the chocolate coated pretzel thins myself... to the lady who's TJ's stopped stocking them, she could ask them to start again & I am certain they will be happy to accommodate!

  88. Every time I'm at TJ's I look wistfully at these, knowing that if I take them home the container will be empty in a matter of hours. I may have to give in to the desire on my next visit!

    ReplyDelete
  89. my new favorite, too!! i bought them while standing in line -- spur of the moment. so dang good.

    ReplyDelete
  90. My mom and I finished our tub of them today. I guess I have to go back to Traders tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I love those!
    I often eat a couple, okay a few, after breakfast!

    ReplyDelete
  96. Oh those are my favorite! Now that you have reminded me, I'll have to swing by TJ's and pick up some!

    ReplyDelete
  97. OMG, these are the GREATEST!!! I love, love, LOVE them.

    ReplyDelete
