Cocoa-Coated Peanut Butter Marshmallows

These Peanut Butter Cocoa Marshmallows are Light & Fluffy

— February 5, 2022 — Lifestyle
Peanut butter and chocolate are a tried and true combination, and Trader Joe's new Peanut Butter Cocoa Marshmallows are no expectation.

To create its delicious new snack innovation, Trader Joe's took the iconic sweet and salty profile of chocolate and peanut butter, and paired it with the deliciously light and fluffy texture of marshmallows. As Trader Joe's explains, "These oh-so-craveable confections are crafted with sweet, cocoa-infused marshmallows... which have been covered in a candy shell-like peanut butter coating, then drizzled with yet more chocolate to really bring it all together." This means you can expect each bite to feature a nutty pop of peanut butter, the richness of real cocoa, and the sublime softness of a marshmallow. In other words, it's the ultimate snacking experience.
