If you've been shopping with us for a while, you know that we can't resist a good Kaizen opportunity. At Trader Joe's, Kaizen, a Japanese business philosophy of continuous improvement, is a way of life (we even capitalize it in sentences...). So when our previous TJ's Mac and Cheese Bites vendor could no longer produce the product for us, we took it as not only an opportunity to source a new supplier, but to improve the product, as well. In the years following their 2010 debut, Trader Joe's Mac & Cheese Bites made their way onto many a media outlet and food blogger's lists of favorite frozen appetizers. ("Top 10 TJ's Apps of All-Time," "13 Party Foods You'll For Sure Want to Marry," "We Literally Wept When We Tried These Five Cheesy Foods..."—okay, we're exaggerating, but you get the idea.). Point is, there has always been much to love about these bite-sized, breaded balls of actual Mac and Cheese. Now, with our new and improved Trader Joe's Mac and Cheese Bites, there's even more to love. For starters, they're cheesier than ever, featuring a blend of Cheddar, Havarti, Swiss, & Gouda—a.k.a. the exact same blend you'll find in our famed TJ's Diner Mac N' Cheese—plus Cream Cheese, Monterey Jack, & Pecorino Romano for good measure. They also feature a thinner, crispier, panko-style breading this time, which only further highlights the real star of these bites: the Mac and the Cheese, of course! Whether you serve them at a party or warm them individually as a snack, Trader Joe's Mac and Cheese Bites can be ready in just around twenty minutes...so what are you waiting for?
