These nuts are really good. They're described as "maple spiced" but the primary flavors are rosemary, red/black pepper, and brown sugar which is an interesting and surprisingly good flavor combination. I think they just make one run of them this season so they sell out quickly though. As with some other seasonal trader joes products I wish they weren't marketed as a seasonal item so they would make them all year round.

I would say Wirecutter's reviews are above the standard ATK reviews, but that's a pretty low bar.

I don't know if I really trust wirecutter these days. Since they make their money from affiliate links, I also wonder if that affects the products they choose to include in their ratings, but maybe the bigger problem with all products reviews is that companies make so many new models of their products all the time that 1) the reviews tend to be out of date by the time you actually go to purchase something anyway and 2) if they are reviewing the latest models, I doubt whether wirecutter/atk/consumer reports is actually able to use them long enough to test their reliability adequately.

I don't really trust wirecutter these days. Among other things, I think they tend to favor products with affiliate links they can get a cut from.
