3... 2... 1... Taste Buds, We Have Lift Off.
These aren't your average cheese crackers. Trader Joe's Cheddar Cheese Rocket Crackers are spaceship-shaped, boldly cheesy, and built for serious crunch. Each piece is packed with real cheddar cheese flavor that hits immediately and lingers just long enough to make you reach for another handful. Whether you're snacking solo at your desk or loading up a bowl for movie night, these little rockets deliver every time.
What's Inside
Made with unbleached enriched flour and real cheddar cheese (cultured milk, salt, microbial enzyme), these crackers get their bold flavor from a natural cheddar cheese flavor blend and annatto extract for that signature golden-orange color. At 140 calories per half-cup serving with 4g of protein and 8% daily calcium, they're a snack with more going on than most. The 7.05 oz box holds about 7 servings.
The Trader Joe's Difference
Distributed exclusively by Trader Joe's (Monrovia, CA 91016) and produced in Canada, these crackers carry OU Kosher (Dairy) certification. TJ's describes them as the best cheddar cheese crackers this side of the cosmos — and the repeat buyers tend to agree. The spaceship shape creates more surface area for that cheddar coating to cling to.
