⚡️⚡️Chile Lime Crunchy Chocolate Bark ⚡️⚡️
For @traderjoes #TJsChileLimeContest (because I need groceries!! 😬)

I never made bark before but I couldn’t stop thinking about chile lime mango and corn…so I put it in dark chocolate! This also works with finely diced dried mango, but I like the freeze dried better!! I might add even more next time. This could work with any type of chocolate, too. The corn, man. The corn. So much crunch!

1 cup Trader Joe’s Raw Pumpkin Seeds
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Trader Joe’s Multi-Floral & Clover Honey
1-1/2 teaspoon Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning
10 oz bag Trader Joe’s 72% Dark Chocolate Chips
1/3 cup Trader Joe’s Giant Peruvian Inca Corn, chopped/crushed
1/3 cup Trader Joe’s Freeze Dried Mango, chopped
Chile lime seasoning to taste

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place pumpkin seeds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, and chile lime seasoning. Add the roasted pepitas and toss until well coated. Pour pepitas back on the baking sheet and roast for 5 more minutes. Remove and cool.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between bursts. Don’t overheat. Once melted and smooth, spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet to 1/4-inch thick. Immediately top with crushed corn, freeze dried mango, and 1/3 cup toasted chile lime pumpkin seeds. Lightly press everything into the chocolate and sprinkle with a touch more chile lime seasoning.

Allow to cool on the counter until hard, 1-2 hours, or place in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes. Break into pieces. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

⚡️Chile Lime Cornbread Butter Swim Biscuits ⚡️
for @traderjoes #TJsChileLimeContest

Inspired by elote, biscuits and butter 🧈 these are definitely buttery, but we all need more butter in our life. The salty chile lime seasoning and cheese balance the sweetness of this cornbread mix beautifully. It’s savory, sweet, rich. Let them cool a bit before digging in though; they get a little crumbly when too hot (says the woman who couldn’t wait to try them). The box says to use oill in the batter, but they’re baked in a stick of butter. It’s fine without! An extra sprinkle of the seasoning blend before going into the oven wouldn’t hurt either! If you’re into that sort of thing 😆

1/2 cup (1 stick) Trader Joe’s Unsalted Butter
2 tablespoon TJs Multi-Floral & Clover Honey
3 teaspoons Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning, divided
1 box Trader Joe’s Cornbread Mix
1 egg
3/4 cup half and half
1 cup Nuestro Queso crumbled cotija cheese (TJs!!)
1 cup frozen Trader Joe’s Roasted Corn, thawed and drained

Preheat oven to 375F.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the honey and 2 teaspoons of chile lime seasoning and mix until well combined. Reserve 2 tablespoons of chile lime butter and set aside. Pour the remaining butter into an 8x8-inch baking pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, half and half, and 1 teaspoon chile lime seasoning. Add the dry cornbread mix and combine. Mix in the cotija cheese and corn. Don’t overmix.

Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes.

While still warm in the pan, cut the biscuits into nine portions. Brush the tops with the remaining chile lime honey butter. Let cool for 10-15 minutes. Remove and serve.

When you have some puff pastry in the freezer and a block of cream cheese, you pre-game the Super Bowl with a #BadBunny dance party and make some quesitos! 🇵🇷

I didn’t have guava paste, but I added a dab of @girlmeetsdirt reserve plum jam to a few because we’re in the PNW and 💙💚
