But I don't like Oreos, so these don't tempt me.

And crack doesn't tempt me either!

I don't like oreos either, but these are DELICIOUS!!!

Yup....Christmas Crack really tastes nothing like oreos at all. They just have the same construction (cookies with cream in the middle), but that's about it. If you like chocolate with peppermint, you'd likely find them to be crackalicious.

Oh dear! Those aren't the Christmas Crack...these are:

Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Joe Joe's

January 8th—Fearlessly Archived—Still a fun read; price & availability may have changed.

When we first introduced Joe Joe's Sandwich Creme Cookies, cookie lovers quickly came to the same conclusion we'd reached on first tasting -- Joe Joe's were so much better than other, similar cookies, that there was very little basis for real comparison. And so when we've introduced "special" versions of our Joe Joe's (Halloween, Candy Cane), maintaining this standard of quality has always been our top priority. Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Joe Joe's live up to this standard, and, if you're a fan of the chocolate-peppermint combo, will easily surpass your expectations.

The best way to describe these cookies is to deconstruct them. We start with a creamy, peppermint center, studded with candy cane pieces, sandwiched between two chocolate peppermint wafer cookies. The cookies are bathed in deep, rich dark chocolate. The icing on the cake, so to speak, is the generous sprinkling of even more candy cane pieces atop the dark chocolate. These Joe Joe's masterpieces are only available during the holiday season, bringing tidings of comfort and joy to peppermint and chocolate lovers across the land. But don't delay -- when we run out, it will be 2014 until they're once again available at your neighborhood Trader Joe's. Missing these would definitely add a bit of humbug to your holidays.

We're selling each 9.4 ounce box of Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Joe Joe's for $3.99, while they last.

Now here's something I would like explained to me. For something like 3 years in a row, I posted at F&F, threads about the Christmas Crack. Now maybe I'm missing something BUT, how could people miss those threads?

I would put as the subject line: Crack Is Back! And I also posted pics of the TJ's box.

I sure remember "crack is back". As if a poor Norwegian would fail to notice when any kind of a normal person says something like that.

Thought so. I've never tried the ones you linked to.

Well, I made sure to make the subject line noticeable....first alert system. They sell out quick. An employee at TJ's said someone stockpiles them and sells them for $20 a box off season. See? They really are like crack.

Reminds me of a poster on CARM who called himself Meth. We were supposed to think it was short for Methusalem but we weren't so sure. Norwegians seem, for some reason, to be fond of smoking their socks. I'm pretty sure that some Norwegian must have tried that at some time and then we all want to do that (not).

hmmm .......I don't like chocolate mint. So I guess the info doesn't stick with me. Also, I have no idea if there's even a Trader Joe's in Canada. I've never seen one or heard anyone mention it.
