Trader Joe's is bolstering its snack selection with the addition of new Dark Chocolate Covered Pistachios.
Perfect for those who love a sweet and salty treat, Trader Joe's new Dark Chocolate Covered Pistachios pair the earthiness of finely roasted pistachios with the sweet bitterness of dark chocolate. Inside each bag, you'll find salted California Pistachios encased in a perfectly smooth layer of deep dark chocolate. "Texture-wise, the tooth-sinking smoothness of dark chocolate superbly rounds out a pistachio’s tender interior after its initial, delicately snappy bite," Trader Joe's notes.
The new Dark Chocolate Covered Pistachios make a great addition to a batch of homemade trail mix, a dessert element to charcuterie boards, and an unexpected sundae topper. Or, you can enjoy them by the handful, straight out of the bag.
