Trader Joe's is shoring up its snack aisle with the addition of the new Oat Chocolate Bars with Crispy Rice & Cocoa Nibs.
Trader Joe's originally debuted its vegan Oat Chocolate Bars back in 2022 and the product was a huge hit with consumers. Now the brand is building on its success with a new variety. The new Oat Chocolate Bars with Crispy Rice & Cocoa Nibs features the same delicious oat milk chocolate base, which is made from cane sugar, cocoa butter, ground oats, rice syrup, and 42% cocoa mass. The brand then adds Crispy Rice and Cocoa Nibs to add a delicious new textural element. And just like the original, the new version of vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and kosher.
Best of all, the bars are individually packed so they're easy to share.
