Trader Joe's is looking to give you something a little different to nosh on this holiday season with the debut of its new Dark Chocolate Dipped Candy Cane Marshmallows.
While marshmallows and chocolate are both staples of the holiday season, they usually come together in the form of a cup of hot cocoa. Trader Joe's aims to offer a more snackable version of that combo with its new Dark Chocolate Dipped Candy Cane Marshmallows. This sweet snack is delivered in mini, two-bite pieces and consists of fluffy marshmallows dipped in a rich dark chocolate shell. The whole thing is then covered in crushed candy cane pieces for that refreshing minty flavor element. The Dark Chocolate Dipped Candy Cane Marshmallows are also housed in a festive holiday box, which makes them a great gifting option.
