Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Salted Caramels

Average Price: $6.99*
Verdict: Skip It

Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Salted Caramels have been a fall tradition for nearly a decade, and they’re still going strong. Despite the fact that some individuals enjoy them, others have noted that these chocolates include a significant amount of spiciness and salty. If you are purchasing these because you enjoy sugar, you may want to skip this step. One reviewer complained that the Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Salted Caramels were “watery,” in addition to being “very salty” due to the use of sea salt in the recipe. I found the caramel to be a tad too liquidy in texture. Overall, at a $6.99 price, if you’re not in the mood to be experimental, we recommend passing on this purchase.

TJ’s Highland Single Malt Scotch Bourbon

Average Price: $30*
Verdict: Buy It

Since 2004, TJ’s Highland Single Malt Scotch Bourbon has been a part of the whiskey industry. Each bottle of this drink costs $30, and it was one of the first alcoholic beverages offered by Trader Joe’s. Alexander Murray & Co., an independent bottler, was the first company to collaborate with Trader Joe’s on the development of a private-label single malt whisky product. Although there are some who dislike this single malt scotch, the majority of the evaluations are good. In a review on The Whiskey Wash, a website dedicated to all things alcoholic, the Trader Joe’s scotch was described as “cheap,” yet it would “service you well.” “Nicely built,” “straightforward,” and “richer and fuller” than [he] expected, according to TWW about the Single Malt Scotch.
