Tomato and Chili Cheese Bites: 6.5/10
🚨NEW ITEM🚨 When #traderjoes was describing this new item on their podcast, I thought they were going to be pizza rolls and got really excited haha. I do love the regular cheese bites so I was still happy to see this new flavor hit the shelves! The cheese bite itself is very simple. It is semi aged cheese that has been baked. Each crunchy cheese bite is coated in tomato powder, chili powder, onion and garlic powder. I was hoping for a delicious grilled cheese and spicy tomato soup like flavor, but these did not live up to my expectations. They were very heavy on the chili and I felt like that overpowered each bite. I would say these are a medium spice level but did not have an amazing depth of flavor. They would be good as salad croutons or as a soup topping, but I prefer the other oven baked cheese bites flavors like the black truffle. Each bag is $2.69.
Have you tried these yet? What did you think?
I felt these had a weird after taste 🥴
Interesting! I love the Parmesan ones, they are a go-to snack for me!
Wow I’m shocked! I thought these were by far the best but I do love spice
Ate them with some apple slices like a little fruit and cheese plate. They worked well together!
Hard pass. Love the original but these weren’t good. I actually threw l it the bag
My partner and I were disappointed. There’s a weird aftertaste that we couldn’t place.
10/10 for me 🔥
Sooo good!!
Spot on! Had such high hopes and at first crunch its good, but the lingering chili effect completely drowns out all other flavors. Truffle is the best by far 😏
I Loved them so much! Not too much chili for my taste tbh
I could not taste the chili and thought they weren’t spicy at all! All I got was a strong tomato and cheese flavor. I think they’re just alright. Probably won’t buy again
LOL WHAT! Everyone I know that’s tried them gives them a 10/10! I didn’t really get any spice with mine, tasted very tomato-y.
rip off – the bag is only 2 OUNCES! high in saturated fat and sodium too
I agree, they were SO heavy on the chili powder! I can only eat 2-3 before I don’t want to eat them anymore 😭 I might try crushing them up and putting them tomato soup? Any other reccs?
Love pitting these cheese bites in salad, for some crunch ! 😍
Love, love, love these!
They taste like pizza sooo good!! They give me heartburn though :/ otherwise they’d be a staple for me
❌👎
These gave me flaming hot Cheeto vibes I was SHOCKED by the spice
@alexanderspit
so weird, 3.0
Just tried these today and I feel the tomato undermines the cheese.
8/10 for me
This is for 🔥🔥🔥 lovers like me 😍
