"As it turns out, nearly every item I found for Valentine's Day is a sweet or chocolate, except for the ravioli. But you don't have to go in and buy everything. I tried as many items as I could to give you my honest thoughts on them to help you determine what you should actually purchase and what's better to leave behind. I judged them on flavor, texture, value, and how highly I'd recommend them to a TJ's customer."
"The X and Os gummies are cutesy and colorful if you want to get them as part of a Valentine's Day taste test or for a grazing board. They'd look fantastic on a board with your favorite meats, cheese, and chocolates. But they're not the best of Trader Joe's Valentine's Day items. They have a gummy, soft texture that might appeal to only a fraction of gummy lovers."
Nearly every Trader Joe's Valentine's Day item is a sweet or chocolate, with ravioli as the notable savory exception. Items were evaluated on flavor, texture, value, and recommendation level. Seasonal offerings include festive snacks but the overall selection is smaller than fall and winter products. Several products proved skippable due to texture or other flaws, while a few offerings stand out as worth purchasing. X and Os gummies are colorful and visually appealing for boards, but their soft, nonstandard gummy texture limits broad appeal. Value varies across items, so selective buying helps assemble the best treats.
