This 4-Ingredient Trader Joe’s Dessert Recipe Is So Good, My Family Always Asks for Seconds

Green olives are one of my very favorite foods. Salty, fruity, briny, nutty, and buttery, their complexity adds depth to almost any dish, and they pair beautifully with a number of foods, notably cheese.

During this summer heat wave, all we can think about is an ice-cold dessert to cool us down.

You pull it out and think, “I’d love to drizzle some caramel on this treat, but I don’t have any.” Making caramel sauce from scratch isn't hard, but it involves time standing over a hot stove plus cooling time.

But what’s the best way to do this?

As a big fan of Yeti, I’ll be the first to tell you that the brand rarely goes on sale.
