I'm delighted at the selection of snacks my gifter chose to send me, they managed to pitch it all just perfectly for my tastes and likes. We don't have Trader Joe's here in the UK but I've been reading up on their food for nearly a decade and last year, when my parents went to the USA, I asked them to bring me back a couple of TJ items - for someone who can't actually shop there, I'm quite the Trader Joe's nerd! With that in mind, it was a HUGE surprise to open up my parcel to find it stuffed to the brim with Trader Joe's stuff, all these goodies that I've heard about and read about but never tasted.

I had mentioned in my likes and preferences that going a little leftfield and obscure would be ideal for me, rather than, say, Hershey, Reeses etc as we can buy those in any UK supermarket or convenience store but I didn't mention being fascinated by Trader Joe's, so a big round of applause to my gifter for hitting a seriously serendipitous sweet spot of snacking!

I've only tried the Coconut Cashews and the Sweet & Spicy Pecans so far, both were delicious! I'm already thinking of ways to use the cashews in cooking as I think that could be amazing. The pecans actually made me chuckle to myself after eating four or five and the cheeky heat sneaking up. That was a good enough excuse for me to eat a couple more cooling coconut cashews for contrast ;D

Very much looking forward to trying everything else over the next few weeks!

Thank you so much, it genuinely couldn't have been better suited and I'm in awe of your telepathic Trader Joe's talent.
