Hot Cocoa Stirring Spoons

Trader Joe's Has a New Hot Chocolate Stirring Spoon for the Holidays

Trader Joe's has a delicious new way to make everyone's favorite holiday drinks extra special with the debut of its new Hot Chocolate Stirring Spoon.

Last year, Trader Joe's sold a hot cocoa stirring spoon featuring both salted caramel and mini marshmallows. And the year before that, the brand sold both milk and dark chocolate hot chocolate string spoons. Building on the success of previous iterations, Trader Joe's new Hot Chocolate Stirring Spoon goes back to the basics of a perfect cup of hot cocoa. Just as the name suggests, the new Hot Chocolate Stirring Spoon consists of a spoon covered in semi-sweet chocolate sourced from the U.K. and a generous portion of mini vegan marshmallows. All you have to do is add hot water, stir, and enjoy!
