Holiday Trader Joe's Haul

I recently went to Trader Joe's and picked up a few bits and pieces to try for the holiday. Here are a few things I encourage you to try. There are some quick party bites, stocking stuffers, and hostess ideas.



Let's start with the chocolate babka. If you haven't had babka, I would describe it as a chocolate cinnamon roll in the for of bread without the cinnamon. It was moist, rich and super chocolatey. At $4.99, it would be great hostess gift or a great addition to a dessert table. I'm looking forward to getting this babka again.


For a little something salty and sweet, try the popcorn trio. It is a mix of chocolate almond, macadamia caramel, and pecan praline. Yum! This is perfect for all your friends that are gluten free. At $6.99, it's a great stocking stuffer, hostess gift or addition to a dessert table. 


The first time I tried sipping chocolate was at Disney's Wine and Food Festival. It's a super rich, thick hot chocolate. Super delicious!  At $3.99, this would be a great hostess gift or stocking stuffer for your favorite foodie.


This soap was a recommendation from one of my friends. This white pine soap and lotion smell like freshly cut Christmas trees. Super festive! I love that it comes with the little metal caddy too. At $5.99, it's another great hostess gift. 


The holiday pfeffernusse cookies were not a family favorite. They were a little too spiced for our liking. I'll pass on them next year ,and try something new. But don't worry, I have a great festive, Christmas cookie on the way. Stay tuned!
