It’s no surprise, then, that I have become addicted to Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans. The dark, smooth chocolate is the perfect balance to the slightly bitter espresso bean hidden inside.

I have to buy a container every time I shop at Trader Joe’s. And it takes all of my restraint not to open it during the short ride home.

It seems that everywhere I turn these days, I’m bombarded with Peppermint (and Pumpkin, and Eggnog, and Gingerbread) Mochas. What’s next–Latkes Lattes?

Seriously, though, I tried my first ever Peppermint Mocha at Peet’s last week, and I have to say I enjoyed it far more than a regular mocha. Not sure if any credit can be given to the soy milk I requested, but the P.M. wasn’t as sticky-sweet as I usually find mochas to be.

Of course, I’m not sure if I’ll ever get up the nerve to try the Pumpkin or Eggnog flavors. And I’ve already decided there’s no need to try the Gingerbread, what with this find.

While some coffee purists may not regard these holiday inspired drinks as true coffee, for me, they represent a small way to celebrate the holidays while enjoying a cup of joe.

Leave it to Trader Joe’sto come up with a reasonably-priced, decadent cup a joe in the spirit of the holidays.

Trader Joe’s new Gingerbread Coffee offers the taste of freshly-baked gingerbread cookies dunked in coffee, but without the cookies (and the calories!).

The blend starts with a bright mix of Colombian and Mexican 100 percent Arabica beans roasted to a smooth, mellow medium dark. Then, it’s spiced with real dried ginger pieces, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

The blend runs $6.99 for one 14 oz. can, and for best results, Trader Joe’s recommends grinding the beans coarsely.
