This week, we're reviewing Trader Joe's mini Gingerbread Men cookies. Described as "gingerbread cookies with white fudge icing," a (big!) 16-ounce box costs $2.99
A mom's (my) take: Danger! Danger! These cookies are utterly addictive! Crispy, crunchy, spicy...I cannot get enough of these. The creamy white chocolate coating on each cookie is the perfect foil to the spicy flavor. I noticed in the ingredients list that not only are these made with ground ginger, but with crystallized ginger...I think that's the secret to their amazing flavor. Open a box at your own risk.
Overall rating: 5 of 5 stars
A teenager's (Jack's) take: These little guys are pretty darn good. You can definitely tell that there is real ginger being used in the cookie, the consistency of which is a nice balance between chewy and crunchy. The "fudge icing" isn't very fudg-y, but it does have a pleasant taste, which is not too rich or over-the-top, something which I particularly enjoy. Lastly, there is a nice spicy aftertaste, something that will probably send you back for another handful... or boxful.
Overall rating: 4. 5 out of 5 stars

Mini gingerbread had good taste but I don't like because I love to eat Cake Bread.
