There is a lot of mysterious food at Trader Joe's that I wonder about what it tastes like. But no free samples as one must buy whatever to check such out. A few years ago bought the Broccoli Slaw and Kale Salad with Chicken, was hooked as the the best packaged salad I'd ever found so then would eat it at work for lunch maybe once a week. At this time has obviously become very popular with other people too given a much larger supply in the salad racks. I bring a fair amount of snacks backpacking that I don't eat at home and TJ's is the best place to find special goodies. Recently tried the below that will most definitely be in my pack this summer. Not recommended for those with weak self control because of the sweet butter brickle:
Trader Joe's Salty, Sweet & Nutty Trek Mix
Amuse yourself with some of these reviews from Amazon where it is being sold for three times its store price:
www.amazon.com/Trader-Joes-Salty-Sweet-Nutty/product-reviews/B0081AJ1VU/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews
Two stars here, not because of the product, but because of the mark-up. This stuff is like crack, but just buy it in-store at Trader Joes. It's about 3.99?
or...
It is a delicious mixture of salty and sweet. I just can't stop eating it, though! I mix it in with some trail mix for an extra treat.

Bought some of this product based on this thread. Love the mix!
Shared some with a fellow hikers yesterday and it was a hit with at least one other person.
Thanks for the suggestion.
