Surprisingly Kosher: Trader Joe's Candy Cane Joe-Joes

It just doesn't seem like anything candy-cane-containing should be kosher. It seems like such a product should contain gelatin, or perhaps tiny crunchy bits of communion wafer. But happily, neither is the case for Trader Joe's amazing and festive Candy Cane Joe-Joes.

These cookies-- still available now at Trader Joe's, but I'd hurry, since they're a "holidays-only" thing-- combine the delightful unhealthy creaminess that sandwich cookie aficionados know and love, with the crunchiness of tiny candy cane pieces. Perfect for snacking on while you sit in front of a roaring fire, or a roaring episode of "Breaking Bad"...whichever.


And yes, they really are kosher, I wouldn't lie to you. See?
