Trader Joe’s Mini Chocolate Chip Croissant Swirls

Trader Joe’s Mini Chocolate Chip Croissant Swirls recently made their return to shelves, and since I missed them the first time around, I was eager to finally give them a try. But how do they stack up against Trader Joe’s famous croissants? Read on to hear my thoughts about the Trader Joe’s mini chocolate chip croissant swirls.

Trader Joe’s Mini Chocolate Chip Croissant Swirls Overview

They came in plastic packaging inside a cardboard box. It was $3.99 for 8 mini swirls.

Rating

I really appreciated that each croissant was mini-sized, so it is perfect for a quick treat without the guilt. Unlike the original Trader Joe’s croissants that require a long 9-hour proofing process, these did not need to be proof. You just pop them straight into the oven for 25–30 minutes, and they come out fully baked. I baked it for 25 minutes, and they turned out light, airy, and crispy. I also loved there was a generous amount of chocolate chips in each swirl. No skimping here! The only downside was that the bottoms came out slightly burnt, but that might have been more my old oven’s fault than the product’s.
