There are tons of PB&J snacks, the simplest of all being the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and Trader Joe's is introducing a brand-new way for this beloved pairing to be enjoyed. The Trader Joe’s PB&J Snack Duo is touted as a "snack-ified interpretation of [a] favorite culinary couple" and it sees rolled wafer sticks with a peanut butter filling ready to be dunked into a sticky-sweet raspberry fruit dip.
While this snack format often sees cheese and crackers or cookies and frosting matched in a similar way, the PB&J Snack Duo speaks specifically to the hearts of peanut butter and jelly lovers. An individual serving of the snack shares eight grams of protein, which makes it a nourishing lunchtime or mid-day treat.
