"One thing the brand truly excels at is bringing seasonal and unique items into the fold - whether that's summery Trader Joe's snacks or autumnal Trader Joe's hits. I love the wintery holiday season because it's known for cheer, giving, and some flavor profiles that I'm already quite fond of such as peppermint, gingerbread, and cranberry orange. I went through the aisles"
"Considering I'm a long-time Trader Joe's fan, I'm surprised I have never purchased this cult favorite before. Jingle Jangle has milk chocolate candies, Joe-Joe's cookie pieces dunked in dark chocolate, milk and dark chocolate mini peanut butter cups, milk and dark chocolate pretzels, and then dark chocolate-covered caramel popcorn. Maybe my definition of candy is different, but this is clearly a tin of chocolate-coated items."
A selection of limited-time winter holiday items at Trader Joe's was gathered, emphasizing peppermint, gingerbread, and cranberry orange profiles and seasonal packaging. Store shelves were inspected and the Trader Joe's website was consulted to confirm limited or seasonal availability. Products were evaluated by taste, fidelity to promised flavors, ingredient balance, texture, packaging, and repurchase desirability. Several items were sampled and ranked from worst to best. Jingle Jangle, a popular tin, contains milk chocolate candies, cookie pieces dunked in dark chocolate, mini peanut butter cups, chocolate pretzels, and dark chocolate–covered caramel popcorn. The tin was found overly sweet, dominated by thickly coated chocolate, and suggested to need balancing elements like sea salt or less-sweet chocolate.
