Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Nibs
Here is a tasty product that I just picked up today when we were shopping at Trader Joe’s. Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Nibs. They were at the check out- next to all the mints and chocolate bars. Now I can lie and tell you they just caught my eye, but I actually was reaching down for a box of those HOT mints (the little deadly English ones…) and these were next with the small box of mints.
At first, I was just going to put them back, as I was looking for a mint, but then I got curious about what these actually were. When we worked at the chocolate shop, we did sell packages of chocolate nibs that were rich, sorta bitter and just wonderful.
So we gave them a test, and were very happy with the results. The nibs are small-ish about the size of a tick-tac and have a chocolate coating or shell.
But when you pop them into your mouth, they have a wonderful chocolaty flavor that is just right when you are having a craving for something sweet.
Also it helped that another customer in the line behind us saw what we were looking at and was prompted to comment on how she enjoyed them as an “emergency” treat in her purse. So that is where I placed the tin- in my purse for an emergency chocolate attack! HEY I think I feel one starting…….
Have you tried this product? What did you think?
The nickname around my household is “Chocolate Covered Crack Rocks”. I love them. My wife got them for me over Christmas as a stocking stuffer. This is one of the few items on the impulse shelves at the line which can break down my iron will.
So, Yeah. They’re great. Totally worth the $2.
(Completely randomly, I was found you by googling for this product because I wanted something with a picture to refer to in a forum post about razor blade disposal–the tins are the perfect size for double edge razor blades. Thanks!)
So glad to help with the picture… and also glad to hear that there are other Trader Joe’s Chocolate Nib lovers out there… YUM!
PIMF. I meant “I found you by googling for this product”. That’s what I get for restructuring my sentence midstream.
