Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bears

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Trader Joe's Just Added New Milk Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears

— August 3, 2024 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's is expanding its candy selection with the addition of new Milk Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears.

Generally, most people fall into two camps: candy fans or chocolate lovers. However, Trader Joe's thinks you shouldn't have to choose, which is why it's combined the two in one. The new Milk Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears are created for Trader Joe's by an expert Swedish confectionery. The soft and squishy bears are then coated with a light layer of rich milk chocolate for a sweet twist.

While delicious on their own, Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears also make for a great garnish for everything from mini cheesecakes to cupcakes to a big bowl of vanilla ice cream.
