Every now and then, Trader Joe’s sneaks something onto the shelves that looks innocent enough—until you bring it home and realize you’ve developed a full emotional attachment to it. Their Dress Circle (meaning fancy!) Crispy Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies are exactly that kind of snack.
Sold in a generous one-pound tub (yes, a full pound), these tiny cookies somehow manage to feel both adorable and dangerously addictive.

Do you like Brownies? I sure do. While there is no ‘bad’ part of a delicious brownie, my favorite part is the crispy edge from where the brownies bake right up against the side of the pan. Yummy. Like the well-done end bits of a really fine brisket, it is the part that every Brownie Lover fights over, whether or not they will admit to it. Fortunately, Brownie Entrepreneur Sheila G. Mains feels as I do, and has put an end to the fighting with her genius creation of Brownie Brittle. I was first introduced to Brownie Brittle at the Summer Fancy Food Show a couple of years back, and it immediately became my favorite product of the show, as it is surely one of the most delicious things you can put in your mouth.
