Rated 5 out of 5
Buttercup –
Not the ones wrapped in gold foil but a pack of 2 like Reese’s
From What’s Good at Trader Joe’s 2020
“Oh. My. Goodness. These cups are so right up my alley. There’s almost nothing not to like here. What really gets me is the overall quality of both the chocolate and the almond butter, and how well they fuse together.
By now, if you’ve had any TJ’s dark chocolate covered products, you’re familiar with the stuff – it’s oh so good, isn’t it? Not too sweet, not too milky, but dark and rich without being bland or bitter. I could go for darker, personally, but this is a “dark chocolate for the masses” I suppose, and it works.
The almond butter is pretty great, too. It’s a touch salty and earthy with a slight bit of graininess that seems inherent to all almond butters.I’d likely eat it straight out of a jar if it were a standalone product, which is not something that I’d say about Reese peanut butter. That stuff only tastes good because of the chocolate and isn’t an actually good solo product, in my opinion…but the TJ’s nut butter here is.
And it melds so well with the dark chocolate. Here the two are, in perfect symbiiotic relationship with each other. Whales and barnacles, yin and yang, Siegfried and Roy…and dark chocolate and almond butter, here in a teeny tiny little cup.
Wait…”teeny tiny little cup?” Alas, there’s the one issue. I should have thought to wonder down to the corner store to buy some Reeses for comparision, but these guys seem small. I’d offer a wagering, off the top of my head guess, of being no more than 80% as big as a Reese. What’s that mean? There’s less chocolate and almond butter to enjoy! I want more! Even if that comes with a slightly higher price point! Some things are just worth it.
That’s the only complaint. Seriously, go buy some and put ’em in your fridge or freezer. You’ll thank me. If only they were a smidge bigger…oh well. As is, they are a treat fit for a king. Double fours.”
