Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Malted Milk Eggs

Trader Joe's Malted Milk Eggs

(Part 2 of at 3 part series on Easter Treats at Trader Joe’s)

All the Easter Stuff was out when we shopped at Trader Joe’s today, so we picked up a selection of goodies to try out and share with you. This is the second item we are reviewing: Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Malted Milk Eggs

First, we love Malted Milk Eggs, so when we saw a Trader Joe’s version, we could not wait to get home and give them a taste….or two

OK, the truth? …we thought about eating some on the car ride home as the box is a cute “milk carton” style and would be easy to get into, BUT it was only 8:45 AM and somewhere in the back of your mind, you know it is just too early in the day to start munching on Malted Milk Eggs, even if you had to stop and think about it for a bit…

Well, we did resist the temptation and even waited until we got home, unpacked all the “real” shopping that we had, and had a cup of coffee made before trying these wonderful eggs.

You will be happy to know that Trader Joe’s has come through again with a wonderful product! The eggs are huge- much bigger than the usual malted milk balls that also come in the cute milk carton container. And they had a great, toasty malt taste.  Also, these treats do not contain any artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.  YEAH! That makes us feel a bit better about eating them, as sometimes those artificial ingredients give us a headache.  As a kid, we enjoyed those brightly colored malted milk eggs, but as an adult, we are grateful that there are some malted milk eggs that  are simply chocolaty and not coated again with a bright blue color that gets all over your hands and turns your tong blue!

Delaina, who is our official Malted Milk expert, gives Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Malted Milk Eggs two thumbs up. In fact during the tasting of the other Easter items today she actually took a bag of Malted Milk Eggs back to her desk for further analysis…..hmm.
