Far prettier than your average chocolate bar, Trader Joe's newest treat consists of a bar of smooth dark chocolate topped with sparkly pink sugar crystals and a white chocolate tulip design. In addition to the delicious combination of white and dark chocolates, you also get a pretty pink and white box that's decorated with watercolor images of tulips and doubles as a greeting card. Simply open the chocolate box flaps and you'll find space to write your own personal Mother's Day greeting. The new Dark Chocolate Bar with a White Chocolate Tulip is only available for a limited time from April through the beginning of May.
