Crack! Also known as Chocolate covered Peppermint JoJos and Salted Caramels! I haven't seen a post yet that they were in stock so thought I'd post. I would have never known about any of these holiday treats with the BBB!

The Salted Caramels are in little mini 4 pack this year for $1.99 instead of a bigger box.

I scoured ours on Friday, just looking. My kids overdosed on Football shaped Oreos for breakfast when we were at the beach this weekend. Surely that will keep them away from the peppermint joe-joes when they make it into our house.

Not a huge fan of them. I like the ones I make with regular mint Oreos better. Saves me bunches of money.

The salted caramels are okay, but not on my usual TJ's shopping list either.

The small box of chocolate covered variety ones? If so, yes they did have those at mine.

yipee! I waited too long last year. I think they make nice little token gifts. But, I wonder if they'd be good until Xmas?

ooh the JoeJoes sound good but i'm doing GF so i can't..

though anybody else try the dark chocolate & sea salt covered almonds? Those are to.die.for. The container we bought was gone in 24 hours after i brought it home. I didn't buy them again bc i didn't want to gain another few lbs (LOL). they are seriously addictive.

I got two boxes today too! I had the multipack in my hands but put it back. Too many TJs calories between the JoJos and the delicious sipping hot cocoa that Elektra recommended!!

Yes, they'll be fine. I had a box or two around until about March last year and they were fine even that much later.

FYI to those of you in North Texas ... the TJs in Plano does not yet have the chocolate covered peppermint Jo Jos. They did have the regular peppermint ones though.

They did not know when the chocolate covered ones would come in.

Thank you for this! I actually prefer the reg candy cane ones. I was there yesterday and didn't see them but I didn't look very hard. I guess I will have to go back!

I am like a reverse pez dispenser with those. I can't have them in the house because I will just eat one after another until they are gone.

They didn't have the Gingerbread house today, do those come in later? Did anyone else see them? They had the advent calendars surprised no houses.

They told me they are going out this weekend. But I asked nicely and they went to the back and picked up a box for me. :)

I just went to the Plano TJ's. I had to ask for the JJ's and she went to the back to get them. As she was giving them to me, she was stopped by another SA who told her they weren't supposed to give them out. But they went and asked someone else and was given the OK to do it. Yippee! My cashier said they got to sample the chocolate covered ones the other day. So those should be available soon!

Rochester now has a TJ's if you ever head that way for a bit of tax-free clothes shopping. ;)

I just bought my first box of the chocolate covered peppermint jo jos (darn you BBB). They'er good. But they're no salted caramels. THOSE I can never ever ever buy again unless I"m willing to eat the whole box right as soon as I get home, because that is what happens.

Really? I had no idea! Although, if it's the only TJ's in the city, those darn Rochesterans (sp) will probably buy them all before I get there!

omg, these all sound yummy & I wish I didn't click on this thread. ;) It looks like I'll "need" to make a trip to TJs soon. I haven't been there in a few weeks, and some of these treats sound like something my DC's teachers would like.

The almonds are dangerously good! So I gave them to all the teachers last year :)

I bought my (first :bag: ) 4 boxes at the newington, NH store yesterday. I should have just grabbed the additional 4 I really wanted since they were the last ones on the shelf! I have them safely hidden under some stuff in the pantry!

I'm headed to CA on Wednesday and my mom has already picked up JoJos for me. She's so sweet--I didn't even have to ask.
