Pringles White Chocolate

One afternoon on a waltz through Target I decided to take a walk on the wild side and pick up a container of Pringles White Chocolate chips. After all they were 50% off due to a coupon on Targets Cartwheel app. So I figured I'd give them a shot and leave the rest out for my coworkers to give a taste test.
 
Initially I assumed the chips would be long tubes - meaning similar to what is shown on the outside packaging. But low and behold upon opening the canister I learned they are not shaped any differently than how your average Pringles are shaped. Trying the Pringles I wouldn't say they were disgusting or out of this world fabulous. They were different and rather unique.
 
They're your classic salty potato chip which has a slight hint of sweetness which resembles a white chocolate flavor. They're not white chocolate covered potato chips by any shot ... but it sort of tastes like it. It's not overwhelming or boom in your face, but it's there. You kind of have to really get the chip onto your tongue to taste the flavor because quite honestly after a few you sort of lose the subtle sweetness and they just taste like plain ole potato chips.

Trader Joe’s Pinachios



When I had gone to the store I had a different cookie on my list to buy … but when I spotted these Trader Joe’s Pinachios I put the other cookies back and went with these.  They looked absolutely delicious and the description was right up my alley. According to the package “a premium butter cookie with smooth white chocolate chunks and pieces of delicate pistachio nuts. These cookies have panache and pizzazz.”

The cookies are all that and more. Deliciously amazing is all I can truthfully say! I’m pretty positive I’ve fallen in love with a cookie and these have taken first place out of any cookie I’ve tried (that is, with the exception of homemade cookies). Then again, white chocolate chip cookies (particularly with macadamia nuts) are one of my all time favorites. Pinachios are a nice crunchy buttery cookie which have a generous helping of white chocolate chips and pistachio pieces throughout it. These bring packaged white chocolate chunk cookies to a whole new level … and I am a fan.

A serving, 3 cookies, is 120 calories or 3 points plus values.

QUESTION:
What is your favorite cookie from Trader Joe’s OR your favorite packaged cookie in general?
