Chocolate lovers, pumpkin spice fans and coffee drinkers will take delight in one of the newest seasonal treats from Trader Joe's, the chocolate-covered espresso beans with a pumpkin spice blend. The Pumpkin Spice Espresso Beans are made with a base of whole 100% Arabica coffee beans from Brazil that are dark roasted and coated in sweet white chocolate, pumpkin powder and aromatic fall spices. To further enhance the aesthetics of the treat and complement the orange-colored packaging, Trader Joe's added annatto and turmeric to the beans.
Full of texture and flavor, the chocolate-covered espresso beans can be enjoyed on the go in 2.5-ounce bags. Additionally, the seasonal snack is energizing, since each bag contains a little more caffeine than a cup of coffee.
