Chocolate-Covered Peanut Puffs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Bamba Snacks are Sweet and Salty

— February 5, 2022 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's is offering a new twist on its popular Bamba Snacks with the launch of new Dark Chocolate Bamba Snacks.

For those unfamiliar, Bamba is a corn-based, puffed peanut-butter-flavored snack. The snack originally hails from Israel, but Trader Joe's has its own version for consumers to enjoy stateside. Now, the brand has given the beloved snack a sweet twist by adding dark chocolate. The new Dark Chocolate Bamba Snacks feature the same rich peanut flavor you know and low, as well as that perfectly puffed texture. The biggest difference is that this new version is covered in a rich layer of smooth, semi-sweet dark chocolate. As Trader Joe's suggests, "Enjoy them by the handful whenever you’re in a Bamba mood, but craving something just a little bit sweeter."
