Pecan-Studded Chocolate Rounds

Milk Chocolate Rondos with Caramelized Pecan Crunch Have Arrived

Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Rondos are already a fan-favorite, but now the brand is building on that success by offering Joe’s Milk Chocolate Rondos with Caramelized Pecan Crunch.

For those unfamiliar, Trader Joe’s Rondos are expertly crafted discs of chocolate studded with complementary mix-ins – often nuts or dried fruits. The chocolate discs are made for the brand by an expert chocolatier in Slovakia, who ensures the light and creamy texture of the chocolate makes the perfect base for added, crunchy elements. The new Milk Chocolate Rondos with Caramelized Pecan Crunch builds on this formula by pairing chocolate with toffee-like bits of caramelized sugar and pecan pieces. The result is, as Trader Joe's puts it, "delicious duet of flavor within every elegant bite."
