Croissant-Style Breadsticks

Trader Joe's '27 Layer Croissini' Fuses French and Italian Dishes

Trader Joe's recently added to its wide product assortment with an all-new hybrid treat called the '27 Layer Sesame Croissini,' which is a fusion of the classic French croissant with the Italian sesame grissini breadstick.

The richly textured puff pastry is shaped into irregular forms and coated with sesame seeds, making for a treat that's flaky, buttery and packed with flavor.

The Trader Joe's 27 Layer Sesame Croissini is sold in the frozen section of a store, meaning that the raw dough requires baking before they can be enjoyed. Since part of the twist-making process is complete, consumers need not worry about thawing or proofing the dough, only deciding what to pair with their delicious snack.
