Calling all tea lovers, Trader Joe's new Earl Grey Blondie Bars feature the taste of tea in every bite.
The perfect pairing for your next cuppa, the new Earl Grey Blondie Bars are a sweet bakery treat infused with the distinctive taste of Earl Grey tea. The bars themselves boast a distinctive bergamot flavor, along with the earthy taste of sweetened tea, all paired with the soft texture of a baked cookie bar. As the brand describes the bars, they are "buttery, sweet, and punctuated with notes of bright citrus zest."
Available exclusively during the spring months, Trader Joe's new Earl Grey Blondie Bars are perfect for pairing with your morning cup or tea or coffee, or sharing with friends as an after-dinner treat.
