Sooooo good!!!!” one commenter gushed. “I had these last year and couldn’t wait for them to come back. Excellent with cheese - cuts the sweetness,” another said.

Softer Crisp Thanks To Raisins

Previous versions of the Trader Joe’s holiday crackers received criticism for being a little too hard, but the Stollen Crisps seem to be a bit softer and easier on the teeth, one reviewer says. “There's a lovely grape and citrus smell that wafts from the bag after opening,” according to What’s Good At Trader Joe’s?. They taste like fruitcake dusted with powdered sugar—like orange and lemon zest underneath raisins and sweet buttermilk bread. It's a very nice flavor indeed. There's a surprising amount of fruit in the crackers. Each piece contains at least four or five cross sections of raisin. That might be one of the reasons this offering seems a tad softer than its predecessors.”

Where Can I Buy These Crisps?

Stollen Crisps are only available in Trader Joe’s stores, as the store does absolutely no delivery. You may be able to find the crisps online via third party sellers on Amazon, albeit for a very steep price. For example, one seller is listing a box for $14.70 whereas you would pay $4.29 at Trader Joe’s.
