Trader Joe's Mochi rice nuggets: The joy of eating mochi comes down to its distinct chewy texture and its faintly sweet flavor, accentuated by even sweeter fillings like red bean and black sesame. So what happens when you take mochi, fry it so it's crispy, and season it so it becomes a savory snack? Trader Joe's is attempting to answer that question with their mochi nugget crackers. The nuggets are slightly larger than a piece of Capt'n Crunch and are on the salty side, with a golden sheen similar to corn cereal. Each cracker is dense, even more so than a rice cracker. They beg to be incorporated in a snack mix because on their own, they are overly seasoned yet lack a crave-worthy flavor. On the positive side, the packing is very cute. 2.5/5.0
