 Hey guys welcome back to our channel my name is Andrea and I'm Howard and we are with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food and I'm here today with a Trader Joe's taste test. We showed a video last week of our grocery haul and we brought some new things that we've never tried before and so we are gonna be trying them out today. Yep so first up it's oat and Greek yogurt sandwich cookies. So the cashier said these were new and they're very good. I think they might be reminiscent of the oatmeal cream pies by little Debbie. I think of course I don't know. We'll taste and find out. Yeah they look really good and she said they're kind of soft so they're not a hard cookie. Wow they're big. They look like. Yeah. Looks pretty good. Oh they aren't you know what they're actually not as soft as she said. No they're they're hard. Yeah they are hard cookies. All right there you go. Cheers. They're good. I like it. They do have a good flavor but I was expecting them to be soft. These are very crunchy. These are kind of have like a short bread consistency. Let me show you what they look like. This is what they look like and they're very very they're very crumbly. Yeah they are. Very very crumbly. So this is not a soft cookie. It's kind of like I don't know what you say. A crumbly Oreo. Yeah a crumbly Oreo. Would you buy them again? I would. I'll eat this. Okay all right so my turn. Next up. So then another another thing that the cashier said is not always at the store so I don't know if this is a she said she didn't know if it was gonna be a permanent item or not are these crepe wafer cookies. It says buttery thin crispy wafer cookies. I did not expect that. I didn't either. So this is what they look like and you get two of them in the box. Two packets. You want to open these real quick for me? Thank you and on the box it served with ice cream. Let's see. They're pretty big. Okay so this is what it looks like. Yeah like a slice of pizza. Oh. Cheers. It's like a Christmas tree. Oh that's true. There's a pattern on there. They're crispy. Very light. Mm-hmm. You know what it tastes like? It reminds me of an ice cream cone. Yeah but it's lighter than an ice cream cone. It tastes like you know those rolled cookies that they sell in the store they come in a tin and they have icing in the middle of them. This is the texture of these. So it's very fake flaky. I don't know if you can see right there kind of like a filo dough. It's like layers and layers and layers but very light. That's not bad. I don't know would you would you buy it again? Not necessarily but I would eat it. I mean it will eat it but it wasn't anything special. All right next up milk chocolate and honey toffee pecans. And the cashiers said that these were really good too. She said they're addictive. And I really like pecans. You're not a big pecan person aren't you? No not really. And I also like toffee. Just trying to get the bag open. Yeah. It has one of those insoluble bags which is good. Oh it's like coated and covered. Looks good. All right let's go. You're okay. I do taste the pecan. So I'm not a big pecan person but. It tastes um you can definitely taste the toffee. It says pecans glazed in a crunchy honey toffee and robed in milk chocolate and finished with powdered sugar. And it's not the hard toffee that I feel like will break your tooth on. It's a soft toffee. I like it. Is it my turn? Yep your turn. So the next thing that we're gonna try I don't think these are new I don't know but like I said in the grocery haul video I haven't been to Trader Joe's in a long time. These are called hedgehog cookies which I said to me were reminiscent of what I thought Teddy's grandmother did. So it comes in a box that looks like this and they are in six individually wrapped little bags. So and they look like this little hedgehog. Well I guess it's a little hedgehog. Yeah see there he is. Okay ready? Cheers. You're okay. Nothing special. I think you're good. What got me was it said with cultured butter. Mmm to me they don't taste as good as a teddy gram. Like a butter cookie. Like a butter cookie but not very sweet. I don't think I would have to buy these again. Okay. Alright next up jerk style plantainships. Now I've never had jerk style plantainships before but I've had a lot of different ones so we'll see how these taste. And where are you from? I'm Jamaican. And so he knows about jerk in plantainships. I thought you were calling me a jerk. I like jerk. I smell something but I don't know. See how it tastes. It tastes garlic-y and it's a little spicy. It definitely has a kick. Not bad. But you like plantainships. I do. And I don't like plantainships but these are actually good because they really have a good flavor. It's a little spicy and you get the garlic and stuff. These are good. If you don't like plantainships but you like spicy you probably like these. I actually like it. There's sweet ones and then there's the savory ones. They're good. I like these. Alright you're up. So the last thing that we have are these organic ilote corn chip dippers and there you go. You see it. And they're supposed to be flavored like a Mexican style street corn which is what ilotes are. They sell them you know like in some all over around here like in farmers markets and things like that. You can buy the ilote which is either corn on the cob or they've taken the corn off the cob and it's in a cup and it's seasoned with all these different spices. That's what they look like. This is what it looks like. Really highly seasoned looking chip. Yeah this one looks extra highly seasoned. I'll give you the less highly seasoned one. Alright. Cheers. They're not bad. Are they spicy or is that the plantain chip? They're a little spicy. Okay. So they do have a kick to them. So maybe they would work well guacamole like what they have on the bag. So you don't think they would work well by themselves? I'm not into corn chip. What's those corn chips? Fritos? They're fritos. You like those. I love fritos. I love fritos. I will say as far as some of the spices there is buttermilk and it says a trace of lime. Oh maybe it's a trace of lime I don't like. Yeah he doesn't like lime but it's pretty good chipotle peppers etc. It's not bad to me. Alright that's it. That's it. I think it was good. Yeah I think everything was okay. Everything was pretty good. So thanks so much for watching.
