Tomato-Red Chile Crackers

Trader Joe's New Chile Crackers Deliver Just a Hint of Heat

— August 18, 2024 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's is helping you elevate the look and taste of your next charcuterie board, with the debut of its new Chile Crackers.

A tasty twist on an ordinary cracker, the new Chile Crackers are made by a supplier in the U.K. who "ups the crunchiness and peppery heat in every bite." Delivering just the right amount of chili-spiced heat, the new crackers make the perfect base for everything from cheeses to sliced meats and dips. Plus, the addition of tomato powder gives the crackers a deep orange hue that looks extra special when paired with your favorite creamy white cheeses.

While not for everyone, Trader Joe's new Chile Crackers are perfect for those who usually reach for the hot sauce when enjoying their favorite snack.
