Chantilly Cream Vanilla Bean Cake: 8.5/10 I love that Trader Joe’s offers these smaller bakery items! This cake is the perfect size for about 5-6 people to share. It was delicious and verrry rich.

Irish Porter Cheddar: 7/10 This cheese is not as scary as it looks, I promise! It is a firm cheddar cheese with porter beer mixed throughout. The beer taste is very subtle and pairs nicely with the cheddar. While this cheese was good, I would only pick it up once a year for a St … Read more
Mini Mint Ice Cream Mouthfuls: 7.5/10 These ice cream sandwiches are two chocolate joe joe cookies with mint ice cream in the middle.
