Trader Joe's Entertaining Cracker Duo Makes Hosting a Breeze

— December 12, 2021 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's wanted to make holiday party hosting a little easier with its ready-to-serve Entertaining Cracker Duo.

Just as the name suggests, the new Entertaining Cracker Duo is a pairing of two party-ready crackers. Inside you'll find cheese and black pepper Wafer Crackers that are delightfully crispy and make a perfect vessel for dips or light holiday appetizers like creme fraîche with salmon. Of course, sometimes you need a more sturdy cracker, which is why each box of the Entertaining Cracker Duo also contains an onion-forward, flax seed-studded Cracker Crisps. These crackers are a little sturdier, slightly sweet, and make the perfect base for the kinds of cheeses and meats you'd find on a charcuterie plate.
