Though not many people thing of cherry as a holiday flavor, the [tart fruit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-cranberry-chocolate-selector) makes a perfect complement to all the rich chocolate flavors this time of year. With that in mind, Trader Joe's new Dark Chocolate Rondos Sprinkled with Raspberry & Strawberry & Tart Cherry are perfectly timed for the holiday season. The luxurious treat starts with [dark chocolate discs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treeshaped-chocolate-bites) made by an expert Slovakian chocolatier. The chocolate is then stuffed with dried raspberry, strawberry, and cherry pieces, which cut through the rich chocolate flavors. Best of all, the new Dark Chocolate Rondos are sold in a cylindrical package decored with holiday-ready designs, making it a great last-minute stocking stuffer.
