You may be familiar with Trader Joe's line of "crisps." Although we haven't reviewed them, we have a box of the Fig and Olive Crisps in our pantry right now.
Our He Said/She Said review features the latest version is Trader Joe's Strawberry & Jalapeño Crisps. Described on the box as a "...crisp, sweet, & spicy cracker to complement cheese, spreads, dips & toppings."
A product of Canada, a 5.3-ounce box costs $3.99. According to the package, eleven thin crips constitute a serving with about 5 servings per box.
What I find interesting about these crackers, and I noticed it on previous versions, too, is that the main ingredient is...buttermilk! Hmmm. The crisps also contain sunflower and flax seeds.
Trader Joe's Strawberry and Jalapeño Crisps Review
She says (Bridget): Ding! Ding! Ding! Folks, we have a winner! The unexpected marriage of chewy dried strawberries and spicy jalapeño is my new favorite. The sweet and spicy play beautifully together while the light, crunchy, seed-laden crisp makes for a delightful bite. Consider me addicted. I'd definitely serve these with a soft cheese to dampen the burn; they're are surprisingly spicy!
Overall rating: 5 of 5 stars
He says (Mark): I thought I’d tried some interesting flavor combinations and a variety of crackers before, but this was totally new to me. Sure, I’ve had strawberries or jalapeños in spreads or dips but never IN THE CRACKER. Wow. Both flavors are distinctive and somehow work together. I eat jalapeños sparingly, so the spice was a little bit much for my tastebuds. If you want to serve something new and get reactions from your family or friends, this should do the trick.
