We like to think of Trader Joe’s A Trio of Almonds as edible, three-part harmony. And like any good musical harmony, it’s all about the balance. To wit: each canister starts with Roasted, Salted Almonds. You might call this the melody part, or the “control” variety, against which the other flavors are contrasted—though there’s definitely nothing basic-tasting about them! These high-quality California almonds have been expertly roasted with just the right amount of salt to bring out their inherent nuttiness. For the second variety in this Trio, we’ve chosen Sesame Honey Almonds. Acting as the upper part, they’re rolled in a mixture of sugar, butter, salt, cocoa, and honey, with tiny, crunchy, Thai sesame seeds to give every bite a heightened sense of savory and sweet. Bringing in the lower part are our Caramel Coffee Almonds, coated with coffee powder and glazed with caramel for a sweet, strong-coffee flavor that offers a deep, resonant counterpoint to the underlying nutty notes. This is a Trio of flavors that’s fantastic by the handful, and an ideal partner for the fizzy, festive beverages of the season, such as our Sugar Plum Sparkling Beverage.
