Alright, so I grabbed a bag of these Nocciolini Tiny Hazelnut Meringues from Trader Joe's, and before I even got a chance to properly try them, my daughter basically inhaled half the bag. So yeah, safe to say, these were a hit.
Taste & Texture
These little guys are light, airy, and have that perfect crispy crunch when you bite into them. The hazelnut flavor is sweet but not too overpowering, and they kind of melt in your mouth after a second. They remind me of those fancy European cookies you get with coffee, except these are dangerously poppable.
How We Eat Them
- Straight from the bag - Clearly the preferred method in my house.
- With coffee - They go perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
- On top of ice cream - Adds a crispy, nutty crunch.
- With Nutella - Because why not go all in on the hazelnut?
Important Warning
Do NOT leave the bag open! These things will suck up moisture like a sponge and go from crispy and amazing to weirdly chewy and sad in no time. Trust me, learned that the hard way.

Location in Store
You can usually find these in the cookie and snack aisle, probably hiding near the other fancy European-style treats.
Final Verdict
These Tiny Hazelnut Meringues are light, crispy, and super addictive. My daughter couldn't stop eating them, and honestly, I don't blame her. If you love hazelnut and meringue, these are a must-try-just don't forget to seal the bag!
Would I buy them again? Yes! But I might have to hide them from my daughter.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (⅘) - Delicious, but eat them fast before they go soft!
