Trader Joe's Vanilla Meringues - Fat Free - 7.76oz (210g) - 2 PACK Pack of 2

This was a two-pack that I purchased and was disappointed because I expected more for this price. For over a decade, I have ordered meringue cookies by mail. Miss Meringue's online store used to be my exclusive source of her delicious cookies, but went out of business some time Although a bit pricey, Trader Joe's had been a very satisfactory replacement for what I had been using before. There is no chemical taste in this vanilla flavor and it is better than many of the cheaper ones. In addition to their smooth texture, they are also durable. There are a lot of cheaper ones that That's why I spent a lot of money on *Phone me. I knew that there is some chance of breakage when you order delicate cookies by mail, and I had expected it a certain degree. Although I was shocked by the broken glass that I saw after opening up the clear containers, I prepared myself for the worst. Despite only opening one container so far, I can see that there are maybe 10 cookies that are still undamaged! A breakage of this kind is not normal or acceptable. Their plastic containers were shipped in cardboard boxes inside their plastic containers, as is usual. Although there was no damage to the box at all, it was also missing all packaging materials Although it sounds like the containers may have just shifted in the box, I can't think that would account for this much breakage. There is no evidence that the item was damaged during shipping. *Phone me. In general, I don't suffer from persecution complexes, but I am now wondering if they decided to ship all the imperfect ones to me instead of just one or two. That was just a joke. The batch in these two containers is of a poor quality, but seriously, there are some serious problems. This was a major disappointment for me. I was so excited when I finally received them after waiting weeks!.

Unless you need whole cookies, you won't be getting a lot of them from this product. (I am editing this review) This is more of a meringue dust. I had dust everywhere when I took them out of the mail packaging, which leaked through the cracks and crushed pieces. In addition, I cut myself on the package when opening it, and it was almost impossible to open. Watch yourself!
On the other hand, there is no chewiness. Their good taste may be relevant to some users however, and they are all dry (not chewy).

am in love with My only option used to be to go to trader Joe's for them, but I now live a long way from there and now I'm too far away. My third shift is at 530 a. m. I like delivery since I am not going to have to go into the store Traffic is what I'm trying to avoid. The other 85% of the boxes were broken. However, 1 box had good It was still very soft & some were hanging on by a thread Getting them broken is less appealing. I don't mind eating them broken, but the taste isn't the same. It is worth it to me to deal with the broken pieces of large cookies. It's kind of odd that they don't pack these better, since most times there is more packaging than is necessary. Perhaps they could do this in order to avoid having to pay for the upcharge for what must be shipping without getting 1, 1 good, or 2 broken boxes.

They were on the older side, not very fresh, and completely crispy. As far as I'm concerned, they're not bad, and they arrived intact, so I plan to order more based on other reviews. The center doesn't look like it could be chewy at all, so I don't know how they taste. There were a lot of broken things on their way. Trader Joe's stores sell containers of these for about $5 a piece. These are chunks of meringue in tons of dust. $18 for 2 would make you think that they will arrive intact. I won't be purchasing these ever.

There's nothing better than these. It's too bad they are so expensive, but I keep purchasing them anyway because they are so delicious! I know a lot of people who have tried them and have become addicted to them. The only person who dislikes them is my husband. It has something to do with texture, according to him. I believe 90% of people will enjoy these based on my personal study, which sampled just a small number of people.

My first reaction when I opened the box was very disturbed. It was first noticed that the two taped together containers were covered with white powder. In the top of each container, there were some little black spots under the seal. I looked all over the tops of the containers, and it appeared to be a bit moldy. The food doesn't seem very appetizing, as I am unsure of what it is. Mold almost looked like it was growing there. They had previously been bought twice by me and I have enjoyed them both times. Despite not being able to return them, I was still able to get a refund.

It's the best I've tried via delivery so far. Aims to be as sharp and perfect as possible. The box was the only one out of four that The center is chewy and there are about three. It would be better if there were items for sale that included Pavlova, otherwise nothing would be better. Meringues are wonderful to eat, and these are the best you can find. For the quality and quantity, these are a great price. While I prefer vanilla, there are other flavors available as well.

Each of them was broken up into a small piece- It has reached the point of powder in some cases. We were disappointed with the outcome. Are you going to order from me My next order of cookies will probably turn out to be crumbs because I like the cookies, but I might have to give up if they are crumbs.
