My New Favorite Treat

By Kaitlin Olson

While perusing the aisles at Trader Joe's last night (one of my favorite past times) I encountered something magical. I don't usually have a sweet tooth which, I suppose, is why sea salt brownies appealed to me. The bite size brownies are moist and fudgy (as a brownie should be!) and the sea salt on the top adds such a unique and delicious flavor. Please, do me a favor and try them out. You owe it to yourself.

They sound interesting, but what is the brand name (TJs?)....how much are they...details?

A container of about 25 is only $3.99 and I got them at the TJ's on Lincoln and Grace. They're Trader Joe's brand and the full name is Sea Salt Brownie Petites. Try them out and let me know what you think!

EL, which TJ's do you go to? They always seem to be a in a different place. The TJ's on Lincoln/Grace has them either on the little baked goods table or on the shelves above the frozen goods. The TJ's on Ontario had them tucked away in a cubby hole at the end of the bread aisle.
