Yes but they are really too dangerous to buy again, lol.

All I know is “free range” is meaningless
Yes. I agree. Just that they already have this. Unless its just purely a stock vs broth difference.

It tastes like basic boxed broth. I was underwhelmed.
Purple Maize cereal. Terrible, and salty. They might as well have made flakes out of the cereal box, because it would’ve been the same darn taste.

Which means it tastes like how their other stock tastes like then. Thanks.
Pretty much, won’t buy again and not even sure why I did given I’ve never been impressed with the broth before.
The Costco chicken stock is good for its price. Tastes actually like chicken.
That’s the one I keep around when I don’t have frozen homemade.
Milk Chocolate chocolate lover’s bar, a single origin bar sourced from Colombia, is a yeah. Smooth texture, lacks the puckering buttery feel of Cadbury, or the waxy bend rather than snap feel of Hersheys. There’s some complexity to it, but when I bite instead of letting it melt, I’m reminded of Hershey’s kisses.

YAY: Just Beets beet chips. Good crunch, very beety flavor. If you’re one of those very few weirdos who don’t like beets, you definitely won’t like these.
YAY: Hatch Chile Mac & Cheese (frozen). I think their regular frozen mac & cheese is pretty decent, for what it is, and this is just the regular mac & cheese plus Hatch chiles. The only downside is that the Hatch version is in 12 oz portions as opposed to 14 oz for the regular.

Yay to the butternut squash fresh ravioli (made in Italy) — the pasta is delicate & thin. I served them in fresh sage browned butter and my mom made me go back to TJs for a couple more packages.
Yay to the jarred mustard garlic aioli, which has a nice sharpness and not a lot of calories.
Yay to the Unexpected Cheddar, which is delicious if you’re a fan of dry-ish aged cheddar w crystals.
and the Underwood canned pinot noir wine. (The TJ canned fizzy rosé was pretty awful tho!)

I’m not sure i understand this as a snack product…! Does the back of the package have serving ideas? I could only imagine using these in hot tea or maybe sangria…
To me, the Unexpected Cheddar is similar to, but moister than, Dubliner. I like both.
Since @Souperman mentioned in this post that the Dark Chocolate Lover’s bar might be a repackaging of the Casa Luker 1906 Tumaco 85% Extra Dark bar:
And regarding the Milk Chocolate Lover’s Bar, Trader Joe’s says ‘we’ve been able to develop a milk chocolate version with this same supplier’. I looked up Casa Luker’s milk chocolate product line, and looks like they have a 45% milk as well.
Its definitely a yay. For $1.69, its a big yay.
The above pics are baking chocolate, I couldn’t quite find their bar chocolate product line.

I’ve seen the “Milk Chocolate Lover’s” bars at TJ’s already.

Just stumbled across this fascinating document about how Casa Luker was driven out of business by violent threats in 2013 but was resuscitated by a partnership with USAID that also created a larger chocolate co-operative.
