If You're A Fan Of Nutella, This Trader Joe's Bakery Snack Was Made For You
Slow weekends call for intentional, thoughtful, and time-consuming breakfasts. These include eggs Benedict, chicken and waffles, and our favorite French darling — crepes. Crepes are notoriously finicky to make, and if the batter texture is incorrect, the pan isn't hot enough, or you're not using the right utensils, you could be left with burnt crepes that are glued to the pan and the feeling that you should have just made pancakes instead.
If you want to satisfy your sweet tooth and crepe fix without all the legwork, Trader Joe's has just the perfect solution for you: hazelnut and cocoa-filled crepes. Each package, which can be found in its bakery section, comes with six plump crepes encasing a creamy, Nutella-like filling. All you need to do is take one (or two ... we won't blame you if you eat the whole pack in a single sitting) and eat it straight or nuke it in the microwave for a few seconds so that the filling becomes soft and molten.
The breakfast that'll have you saying 'Oh là là!'
These crepes have captivated the minds (and taste buds) of Trader Joe's enthusiasts far and wide. Many folks praise the taste and texture of these breakfast delights and wish they had purchased multiple bags of them at a time. However, this positive sentiment isn't universal. "You can totally eat them as-is but they're pretty terrible. Warming them makes them taste slightly less like paper towels with a bit of Nutella inside," said one Reddit user. Other users suggest warming them up and eating them with some ice cream, effectively turning them into a breakfast-meets-dessert affair.
That being said, you can easily improve these crepes by doctoring up their filling. One of their big pros is that they can be easily unrolled. As such, you can easily sprinkle some chopped strawberries or banana inside, or up the cocoa ante with your favorite chocolate hazelnut spread for a more satisfying snack or breakfast.
