Festive Dark Chocolate Oranges

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Orange is a Perfect Stocking Stuffer

— December 15, 2024 — Lifestyle
For many people, a chocolate orange is a holiday tradition, and now you can pick up this beloved stocking stuffer on your next grocery run thanks to the release of Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Orange.

Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Orange is a simple, but unforgettable holiday treat. Like the name suggests, the product is essentially a chocolate sphere that comes in the shape of an orange. Inside, you'll find flavorful individual segments, which come apart when the orange is given a good wack on a hard surface. Once peeled open, you'll find rich and delicious dark chocolate flavored with orange oil and other natural flavors. As Trader Joe's notes, the treat "makes an excellent gift and very amusing party favor," so pick a few up before they're gone.
