Grocery Brand Milk Rolls

Trader Joe's New Chocolate Chip Pain Au Lait is a Sweet Breakfast Treat

— February 1, 2019 — Lifestyle
You don't have to head to France or even your local bakery to enjoy some sweet French milk rolls thanks to Trader Joe's new Chocolate Chip Pain Au Lait.

Pain Au Lait, which literally translates to 'milk bread,' is a sweet, brioche-like roll that is commonly enjoyed during breakfast in France. Now the treat is easier to enjoy than ever with Trader Joe's private label take on the iconic pastry. With its sweet, eggy bread and rich, dark chocolate chips, Trader Joe's Chocolate Chip Pain Au Lait is about as close to being in France as you can get. For a truly indulgent treat, the brand suggests warming up one of the milk rolls and enjoying alongside a scoop of TJ’s Organic Vanilla Fudge Chip Ice Cream.
