Trader Joe’s fans rush to buy fan favorite snack with a new twist that's a delicious 'crispy counterpart'

Dec 29, 2023

TRADER Joe's has brought back an item that fans love and they've given it an upgrade.

For vegans or non-dairy eaters who don't like the bitterness of dark chocolate, Trader Joe's introduced a milk chocolate bar made with oat milk.

Since the introduction of their oat chocolate bars in the spring of 2022, they've now created a new crispy version.

"Our buyer worked with the same bean-to-bar supplier in Colombia to develop a crispy counterpart, in the form of Trader Joe’s Oat Chocolate Bars with Crispy Rice & Cocoa Nibs," the website read.

The bars have ground oats and rice syrup to create the taste of oat milk.

In addition to crispy rice and cocoa nibs, they also are made with sea salt.

They are sold in packs of three with each bar individually wrapped for $2.49 according to the Trader Joe's website.

Similar to their predecessor the chocolate bars are vegan, soy-free, gluten-free, and kosher.

Fans are excited about the new product.

'I love these! I tried them and the regular bar with cornflakes, and I much prefer these oat ones," one Reddit user posted.

"Similar profile of crunchy, sweet, and salty, but these are less sweet and the chocolate is more flavorful (although slightly funky)."

"I tried these today for the first time, and I thought they were good!" another user began.

"Better than the plain oat milk bars."

"Once I can eat dairy again I won’t go back for these, but if you can’t eat dairy, they’re definitely worth getting."

"At first bite, I was unsure," a third user posted.

"By the time I finished, it was love."

The U.S. Sun reached out to Trader Joe's on Saturday for further comment but did not immediately receive a response.
