Trader Joe's Cookies & Crème Pretzel Slims

Like many great food inventions, the ‘cookies and cream’ flavor has uncertain origins. While we may not know exactly who first had the idea to blend ice cream with crushed-up chocolate sandwich cookies, there’s one thing we can safely assume—that person was a genius! And since the late 1970s, this cookies-and-cream concept has been applied to cakes, milkshakes, candy bars, and even trail mixes. Now Trader Joe’s has added another shining star to the cookies-and-cream universe: Cookies & Crème Pretzel Slims.

The base for these treats is Trader Joe’s Pretzel Slims with their thin, crisp, salty character. Each Pretzel is dunked in a creamy confectionary coating that includes notes of natural vanilla flavor, and crushed bits of Trader Joe’s Chocolate Vanilla Bean Cream Joe-Joe’s cookies. That would be enough—but we couldn’t help but add a final flourish of chocolatey drizzle.

Are Trader Joe’s Cookies & Crème Pretzel Slims worthy of their ingenius heritage? Perhaps you might weigh in. Just swing by your Neighborhood Trader Joe’s, buy a package. and proceed to taste
