Trader Joe's brand-new Gummy Bear Chocolate Bar is a white and dark chocolate bar that is studded with colorful [mini gummy bears](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haribo-gummy-candies). The bar is designed so that the chocolate looks like a swirling swimming pool and the gummy bears look like they're mid-stroke in the "water." The packaging hammers home this summer theme with images of sunglasses-clad gummy bears lounging by the water and carry pool noddles. In other words, the new treat is probably the brand's most adorable [novelty candy bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gigantic-candy-deluxe). Equally delightful for kids and adults, this new candy bar is the perfect treat for the summer season.
