The problem was the cheese filling. They use a combo of farmer&#8217;s cheese and cottage cheese which tastes fine, but has an annoying, gritty texture. Both my husband and I hated it. The cheese is lightly sweetened, so you don&#8217;t need to add anything to them, but this actually bothered my husband, who would have preferred them less sweet. We wouldn&#8217;t order them again.<br><br>The blintzes are around 6&#8243; long, they have 105 calories each, with 16g of carbs and 6g of sugar, all added. The box of 6 blintzes sells for $4.50. The package doesn&#8217;t indicate where they&#8217;re made, so I assume it&#8217;s in the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good flavor, bad texture Trader Joe&#8217;s does many things well, but cheese blintzes is not one of them.
