Pumpkin everything!!! There was no resisting picking this baby up at Trader Joe's. Gimme all the pumpkin. (Please.)
So, this Pumpkin Marble Mouse Bar is a spiced pumpkin cheesecake over a fudgy brownie bar. You'll find it in the freezer section. It's one of TJ's pricier treats, coming in at $5.99.
[Note: these DO have to be defrosted 4 hours in the fridge, so plan accordingly.]
She said: First thing first, these bars are just gorgeous. The swirl top with its two-tone orange and chocolate swirl is so appealing. The taste...good, not stellar. The brownie later is dense (which I love), but I wasn't crazy about the chocolate (almost carob-like) flavor. I'd rather spend a little time making these.
Overall rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
He said: This TJ's treat looks great and sounds great, but it's leaving my choco-fied taste buds wanting more. This bar does have a great finish/after-taste, though! The pumpkin comes through in the cheesecake top portion. The patterns on top are very appealing. If it tasted as good as it looked, I'd give it a higher review.
