Trader Joe's Has A New Chocolate Find Fans Can't Resist — 'These Are Really Good, Dangerous Even'

Anyone who's been to the supermarket lately knows Halloween candy season is in full swing, even though it's still technically summer. Some people exercise great restraint and pretend those enticing little sweets don't exist as they pass them by, but Trader Joe's fans are having a tough go of it with the store's latest Belgian chocolate treats.

People who still believe the Trader Joe's myth that the store only sells health food should take a gander at the Filled Belgian Chocolate Bites now sitting on its shelves. For just $4.99, shoppers can walk away with 20 individually wrapped pieces of truffle-like chocolates in four unique flavors. There are two filled dark chocolate truffles: caramel-toffee and raspberry. There's also Milk Chocolate with Almond Praline Filling and White Chocolate with Hazelnut Praline and Crispy Rice Filling.

If those sound delicious to you, you're not alone. Once Trader Joe's fans discovered the sweets in store, they couldn't help but sound the alarm to let others know about the prized fall find. Belgian chocolate is some of the best in the world, and the enthusiastic praise for Trader Joe's candies featuring the revered ingredient lends that common knowledge even more credibility. Aside from a few outliers, these chocolate treats are a big hit online, with one person saying, "These are really good, dangerous even."

Trader Joe's argues that if you're going to enjoy just a bite of something sweet, that morsel should engage your taste buds with some gusto. According to fans who have sampled its Filled Belgian Chocolate Bites, that's exactly what customers can expect. Besides some criticism regarding the hot-pink box they travel in being too much packaging, most folks are over the moon for these little treats.

Although they've only been available for a short time, people are already signaling they have a favorite out of the four flavors. The white chocolate version received some recognition on social media, but for now, it appears the frontrunner for best in the box is the fruit-flavored bite. The original poster in the subreddit r/traderjoes who showcased their haul said, "The raspberry was my favorite (filing is liquid-like), then caramel, almond praline and the hazelnut praline is last," though they did admit that they have never been a big fan of white chocolate. "Raspberry was also my favorite. Such a nice tartness to it," commented another.

Even some who voiced minor critiques about the petite size of the chocolates couldn't deny they were a quality product, and exceptional and affordable chocolates don't come around too often. Folks can attempt to make bigger two-ingredient chocolate truffles at home if they disagree, but judging from the hype surrounding Trader Joe's bites, they might want to give them a shot before going to all that trouble.
