Trader Joe's Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches (aprox. $4 for a 4-pack) - feastingontjs.blogspot.com
(In this case, the title refers to Trader Joe’s, not TJ, my mom, who – fun fact! – had an ice cream parlor in her younger years called TJ’s Ice Cream Parlor.)
OK, let’s get down to business. Because I have been fighting a losing battle with a cold virus this past week, my brain has been too fuzzy to come up with a witty and informative blog post. Luckily, it doesn’t take much brain power to share with you my favorite ice cream sandwich in the entire world.
We discovered this delightful treat years ago at Trader Joe’s, and it has the power to make the day, or night, go from a 5 to a 10 (or, when TJ’s is out of this dessert from the gods, from a 10 to a 2). The size is just right, not too big, where it gets all melty and you feel like you’re going to die of a sugar overload; not too small, where you feel gypped and eat six more to compensate (although I have been known to eat two in a row – they’re just so good). The chewy chocolate chip cookies and the ratio of cookie to ice cream are perfect, but the real appeal is that the ice cream is rolled in mini chocolate chips. And in my opinion, no dessert is complete without mini chocolate chips. Try them; you won’t be disappointed.

mmmm, I’ll need to try that
can you imagine what your life would be like if you were born into the family that still owned TJ’s Ice Cream Parlor in Shafter, CA? I’m guessing it would be different….
I just made my first trip to TJ’s the other day! My weakness is icecream, so I’ll be sure to try them next time I stop there
let me know what you think of them!
