Trader Joe's has taken its signature Joe-Joe’s Cookies and managed to transform them into a breakfast-friendly dish with its new Joe's Joe-Joe's Granola Cookies & Creme.
Joe-Joe’s Cookies are a classic chocolate biscuit and vanilla creme-style sandwich cookie that Trader Joe's debuted all the way back in 2006. The cookies are a customer favorite and now the brand has used them as a base for its new granola. The new Joe's Joe-Joe's Granola Cookies & Creme is a sweet take on granola that combines toasted rolled oats and brown rice crisp with cocoa, cane sugar, and bits of Joe-Joe’s-style chocolate-and-vanilla-crème sandwich cookies to create sweet and crunchy granola clusters. As the brand puts it, "It’s a Granola that calls out for a generous pour of milk or non-dairy beverage at breakfast, and a few heaping scoops of ice cream for dessert."
