Totally wonderful Cheesecake Brownie Bites

These moist, fudgy brownies, topped with just a hint of cheesecake creamy goodness,  are truly a bite of sheer temptation. Trader Joe’s Brownie Bites are so good that you’ll wish you were not home alone with the container.

Seriously these brownies were just fantastic!

We purchased them to use for a meeting, and well, to be honest we sorta forgot them when we were running out the door to get to the meeting on time…. Oops!

So what else could we do, but try them ourselves –you know to make sure that they were good, just in case we would need to purchase them again for another meeting, right?

OK thinking only  for the research, we bit into them… WOW!

They are just as we said: rich, fudgy with wonderful chocolate flavor. They are just the right size too- about two bites each. But we tried to savor them and eat them slowly….

Truthfully, although we think that these brownies were just wonderful, we would like to make a request to the decision makers at Trader Joe’s. Please zap a bit more cheesecake onto each one of these little brownies, so that there is a bit more cheesecake flavor throughout the whole brownie.

Don’t let that little request put you off- these are just wonderful little bites and you would not go wrong to add them to your next cookie tray or to bring them in your next meeting….

That is IF you remember to bring them with you… 🙂

Trader Joe’s 4 Chocolate Dishes of Crème Brulee- Yum!

Here is a great product that we just tried….. Trader Joe’s 4 Chocolate Dishes of Crème Brulee. It was a great “quick” dessert that we would serve again. If you like the vanilla taste and creamy “pudding-like” texture of a crème brulee, you will enjoy this dessert. Also as the package notes, they are 4 to a box so you can take out just as many as you need, and still enjoy some on another night.

Serving a fancy dessert like a crème brulee could not be easier… You just thaw them at room temperature for about an hour, and you are ready to eat. Each dessert comes ready in an individual chocolate cup so they are easy to serve and eat- no dish to soak and wash up afterwards…

Now, to be truthful this Trader Joe’s Crème Brulees are not “exactly” a replica of a traditional crème brulee. There is no signature “crispy sugar” crust burned on to the top of these brulees like in the traditional sense. Also the filling is more like a creamy vanilla pudding instead of the traditional egg custard. BUT if you are looking for an elegant dessert, with a little taste of chocolate to end a meal, that is like a crème brulee, this one is a winner.

We are sure you will agree: Chocolate, vanilla and all in an elegant thin chocolate shell. In fact these shells are so thin that you will want to follow the directions and remove them from their plastic packaging while they are frozen and allow them to thaw on a plate or platter.

Hint: we did not follow these simple directions/ recommendations from the Trader Joe’s package to remove them before they get a chance to thaw.  OOPS! Let’s just say that they still tasted good even if they looked a bit disfigured….

OK so please follow packaging directions and enjoy this dessert the next time you need a quick, fun “something” for dessert when you are shopping at Trader Joe’s.

Enjoy!
