Okay, folks. This is getting serious. A few weeks ago I saw the sleeves of Dark Chocolate-Covered Peppermint Joe-Joe's at Trader Joe's. I knew that if I bought a box or eight, it would be difficult not to eat them, so I put it off for a bit. Then I read somewhere where the stores are already running out of them! And it's only December 10! Other people have blogged about the deliciousness of these cookies (if you like the Girl Scout Thin Mints, you will be ecstatic about these puppies).
When I was a Michael's in Upland yesterday, I thought I ought to pop into the TJs next door to see if they had any of these cookies left. Amazingly they still had 8 boxes, so I showed some restraint and only bought 4. Later in the day when I went to the Claremont store, they were all sold out. One of the checkers told me that if I was really serious about them, I could find some on eBay. Seriously?
Here are some of the items I found.
Here is an expired listing showing that someone did actually buy two boxes for $15 (plus shipping). These boxes retail for $3.99 in the store.
So, if you missed out on this year's gold rush, you can always wait until next year. OR, you can buy this larger box - Trader Joe's and the Astounding Multi-Flavor Joe-Joe's - which contains some of the dark chocolate-covered variety (with the crushed peppermint sprinkles) along with double chocolate, in dark chocolate with milk chocolate drizzles, peanut butter, in milk chocolate with dark chocolate drizzle, and ginger, in white chocolate with ginger snap sprinkles.Enjoy, my friends!

Oh my word! It has been ridiculous. I was having some people over on Thursday, and since I had (of course!) already devoured the two boxes I bought earlier (with the help of some friends, of course), I thought I would just run out and pick up a few more boxes. However, just like you said, I was too late! Although, frankly, it's better for my waistline that these puppies made such a fleeting appearance!
