Though Planters is best known for its nut mixes, the brand is no stranger to sweet treats. For instance, the Planters Drizzle product combines creamy cashews with a rich milk chocolate drizzle. Now the brand is diving even deeper into the sweet space with its new Chocolate & Nut Bark. Planters Chocolate & Nut Bark combines the delicious taste of Planters' roasted peanuts with premium milk chocolate and a pinch of sea salt. Made with no artificial preservatives, flavors, or sweeteners, the chocolate bark offers the perfect blend of sweet and salty flavors. Keep in mind that Planters Chocolate & Nut Bark is a limited-edition product and won't stick around for long.
