Trader Joe’s Frozen Chocolate Croissant

 

While I LOVE chocolate croissants so much, I resort to purchasing them at a coffee shop when out with others; I prefer real croissants and not just something that appears to be one.

Box of Trader Joe's chocolate croissants in store

Well, Trader Joe’s has nailed it again.  These Frozen Chocolate Croissants are elegant, flaky, and downright yummy.  Plus, they are less than $5 for four delicious supreme pastries!

The only downside is inflexibility.  These chocolaty goodies must rise from a frozen state.  But with planning—best left out the night before—they are perfectly risen and ready to bake into the perfect chocolate croissant this side of France. 

What I found is that these require a warm setting to rise, even when left out all night.  So, I put them on a plate, covered with a towel, and place them in a cupboard, which is roughly a constant 70 degrees.  Anywhere where there is a constant warm temperature is fine. 

Baked Trader Joe's Frozen Chocolate Croissant

When baked, the chocolate croissants are flaky, airy, gooey—in a great way—and...well, perfect!  For my taste, these need slightly less time to bake.  Test it for yourself, as not all ovens, and preferences, are the same.

Food Review: Trader Joe’s Animal Crackers

Tub of Fun Found in Trader Joe's Animal Crackers If you are like me, every time I see a box of animal crackers, I relive my childhood years of drooling over a box decorated as if it is a red circus boxcar filled with exotic animals.    My favorite cookie/cracker was the elephant.   Therefore, when I noticed a tub --yes an entire tub-- of animal cookies on a Trader Joe’s shelf, I squealed like a little girl and promptly tossed one in my cart. As a fan of simple English style cookies, Trader Joe’s Organic Animal Crackers are a perfect fit for me.  They are crunchy, light, great with hot beverages, and shaped like animals.  What could be better?  Right?  The real surprise with these cookies is that these are not your typical guilty-pleasure snacks.  Oh no.  These puppies —or should I say camels -- are low in fat and sodium, vegan, organic and only 120 for 17 delicious cookies!  There are even tigers in the tub.  It just ge...

How to Know What Gifts to Give When Dating

Gift Giving in the Dating World Ah, new love...an amazing person is now in your life.   You are enjoying every minute and are anxiously anticipating your next date .   As excited as you are, it seems that new relationships are just one test after another.   Will he like my dad?   Will my children like her?   What makes her angry?   Thankfully, those tests tend to sort themselves out quickly in the relationship.   However, one test is a bit more ambiguous.    At what point in the relationship do we exchange gifts?   Gender-Sensitive?
