We bought these for the first time on the recommendation
of a friend of David’s. Let’s just say –
everyone has their own taste, and these candies were not ours… We were excited to try them (after all – they
were RECOMMENDED!) but they did not live up to our expectations.

And that brings us to an amazingly awesome thing about
Trader Joe’s – if you do not like something, they take it back. They want to know!! They like to hear your feedback!! So after buying these, bringing them home,
and trying a couple, we returned them to the store on our next visit. And they were HAPPY to take them back and
give us a refund or exchange. They are
so sweet about it.
Here is what we thought – the chocolate candies were just
too THICK and hard. They were difficult
to bite. They were not simple little
niblets, like other non-pareils are. They
were thick, chunky bits of chocolate. Eating
them just wasn’t enjoyable, so back they went.
They weren’t cheap ($4.49), but trust me, we just exchanged them for
other chocolates that were more to our liking J.

I have been wondering about those thank you for the info! Have you ever tried the chocolate covered coffee beans? My family loves them but I'm interested in finding out what you think! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Beth! You know, if you have been curious about these, you might wanna try them yourself, too. We have a friend (Karen) who adores them! And the friend who recommended them to David really likes them, too! So they may just not be OUR taste. If you do try them please let me know what you think.
DeleteThe Trader Joe's Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans - now you have my mouth watering... Are they in a small metal tin near the checkout? I seem to remember getting soemthing like that a couple years ago. Or are they in a bigger plastic tub by the rest of the sweets? If it's the big tub, we have NOT gotten them. Sometimes the tubs seems too large for our small family. But I WILL GET THEM! And try them. And review them here! :)
OK, it took a LONG TIME to get around to the Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans, but we did it Beth! Check out this review: http://traderjoes365.blogspot.com/2015/06/day-179-dark-chocolate-covered-espresso.html

ReplyDeleteThey definitely seem like a "love `em or hate `em" kind of thing :)
