Like the original Unexpected Cheddar Cheese Spread that inspired it, Trader Joe’s Unexpected Cheddar Cheese Spread with Hatch Chile begins, unsurprisingly, with our storied Unexpected Cheddar. The Unexpected Cheddar—a perennial customer favorite—is made spreadable by the addition of salted butter, cream, and whey. Then, for this unexpected, turn-up-the-heat take, we’ve added diced New Mexican Hatch chiles, bell peppers, and a kick of cayenne. The end result? Three letters: W-O-W. No matter how you slice—er, spread—it, it’s a real crowd-cheeser. Our tasting panel couldn’t get enough of the stuff!
