This Snack review has Trader Joe’s Blueberry Lavender Almond Milk, M&M Caramel Cold Brew, Fruity Pebbles Cereal Popcorn, Arizona Fruit Snacks, and Crunch Mania Cinnamon Bun Cookies. The biggest surprise was the Crunch Mania Cookies, for which I paid $.25 per bag, but they ended up being so good! The most disappointing was the Arizona Fruit snacks; I expected something sweeter and tea-like.
Trader Joe’s Blueberry Lavender Almond Milk Beverage
Score: 7 / 10
If you took almond milk and added a hint of blueberry and lavender, this is it. There’s nothing overbearing about the flavor; it’s simply noticeable and very pleasant. If you’re into sweet drinks, this isn’t for you.
Exclusive to Trader Joe’s. Unsure when it was released.
M&M Caramel Cold Brew
Score: 9 / 10
Large, thick, and chewy, these M&Ms have a caramel-coffee taste that isn’t overwhelming and quite light. It also has a light chocolate M&M taste in the background, which is tasty in combination with the other flavors.
Found at Walmart. Released February 2023.
Arizona Fruit Snacks
Score: 5 / 10
Exactly like regular fruit gummies you’d find. I expected a little more sweetness and more tea-like flavors instead, however.
Found at Dollar Tree. Released sometime in 2019.
Kellogg’s Crunch Mania Bite-Sized Cookies
Score: 6 / 10
Despite finding several packages of these at the Dollar Tree (about $.25 per pack), their price was anything but. They are very good for their price, with a light cinnamon and sweet taste but not overly so. The texture is crunchy and has a thin layer of glaze on top.
Some sources indicate a March-April 2023 release, although Amazon reviews go back to mid-2022.
SNAX-Sational Fruity Pebbles Popcorn
Score: 8 / 10
This was absolutely loaded with Fruity Pebbles in and on the popcorn. The texture itself was slightly crunchy, like typical caramel popcorn, but with a sweet Fruity Pebbles flavor. Really tasty, especially if you’re a fan of Fruity Pebbles!
Released alongside Cocoa Pebbles Popcorn in January 2023, exclusive to Sam’s Club and Walmart. This is made by a different company that released Trix and some other popcorn variations (General Mills); see here.
