Chocolate lovers are often forced to choose between enjoying one type of chocolate over the other but no compromises are necessary with this new product from Trader Joe's, which takes the form of a milk and dark chocolate bar. The Trader Joe’s Milk & Dark Chocolate Butterscotch Bits Bar shares the "accessibility of a classic milk chocolate bar" along with a moderate amount of dark chocolate and crunchy pieces of butterscotch to enhance the texture of the treat.
The marbled chocolate bar boasts a shareable shape with sections that can easily be snapped off in triangular pieces. While the chocolate bar certainly has the potential to satisfy a sweet tooth at any time, Trader Joe's highlights the treat's ability to be shared and portioned as being particularly ideal for travel or watching movies or TV.
