With its new Pinks & Whites Dark Chocolate Bar, Trader Joe's makes a case for enjoying romantic treats beyond February.
While the new Pinks & Whites Dark Chocolate Bar sounds like something you might give out for Valentine's Day, this bar can actually be enjoyed any time, any season. The sweet treat starts with a rich, smooth 54% Dark Chocolate Bar, and studded it with pieces of TJ’s Pinks & Whites Shortbread Cookies – plus a few whole cookies, too! The whole thing is then brought together with festive, spring-colored sprinkles. Best of all, this chocolate bar comes scored, so you can easily break it into eight even pieces to share with friends, family, or anyone who could use a little pick-me-up.
