The new PB & J Bars from the American grocery chain Trader Joe's, puts a twist on a classic sandwich combination. With a growing number of consumers opting for snacks instead of full-sized meals, these new bars provide an easy way to enjoy peanut butter and jelly on the go.
The new Trader Joe's PB & J Bars consists of a chewy exterior made from oats, rice flour, peanut flour and peanut butter. The inside of the sandwich features a sweet strawberry fruit filling that is designed to taste just like jelly. The results is a snack that tastes exactly like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but has the added bonus of coming in a more portable format.
Designed to appeal to children or adults looking for a nostalgic breakfast on the go, these snack bars put a contemporary twist on a classic combination.
