Nothing beats peanut butter when it comes to revolutionizing the food world. In fact, nowadays, pretty much every household is bound to have at least one jar of peanut butter in their kitchen. That being said, if you’re tired of eating plain PB off of your spoon, or are just super obsessed with the stuff (tbh, same), try these awesome Trader Joe’s peanut butter products.
1. Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
While Reese’s is the respected pioneer in the peanut butter cup industry, and no one has been able to beat its popularity, Trader Joe’s is not afraid to give it a try. Their advantage in the game? High quality and healthy ingredients, just like everything else that they produce.
Roasted and ground Virginia peanuts are made into peanut butter, then covered with dark chocolate crafted from high quality cacao beans. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it? You can get about 36 of these cups for $4.29. There is no better deal.
2. Peanut Butter Pretzels
I don’t usually buy peanut butter pretzels because these things are HIGHLY addictive, and should probably be on the list of potentially dangerous substances. I can’t explain my love for peanut butter pretzels in words, so if you are someone like me, you should definitely try the Trader Joe’s ones.
Trader Joe’s sells peanut butter filled pretzels at the price of $2.99 per pound, which is quite cheap. These iconic nuggets combine contrasting flavors and textures, blending them together to provide an unbelievable sensation with each bite.
3. Mini Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers
While the name is a little short on creativity, these crackers are exactly how they are describe (and organic). They look a little like macarons, yet are much healthier than macarons, and equally, if not more, delicious.
A 7.5 ounce box is sold at $2.69, allowing you to indulge in happiness without feeling guilty about your spending habits. Need a break from studying or working? These peanut butter sandwich crackers are the best snacks for study breaks and they couple wonderfully with coffee.
4. PB&J Bars
Who doesn’t have a stack of granola bars at home for times when one is simply too busy to cook? The good news is, if you pick these PB&J Bars by Trader Joe’s, you can indeed get a good amount of nutrition from a tiny bar.
To be precise, these PB&J bars contain low levels of sodium, no cholesterol, and 8 grams of whole grains per bar. They are also certified gluten-free and kosher. It’s basically a healthy edition of peanut butter and jelly.
5. Peanut Butter Protein Granola
Trader Joe’s uses chunky rolled oat clusters, paired with rich peanut butter and peanuts, to create the new trending favorite: peanut butter protein granola. The crunchy granola and creamy peanut butter complement each other, creating an unforgettable taste experience.
What’s more, the granola here is rich in protein from not only peanuts but additional pea protein. It’s perfect for post-workout indulgence, and anytime when you want a protein boost.
6. Premium Peanut Butter Roundels
Premium peanut butter roundels, recently launched by Trader Joe’s, are simply disc-shaped peanut-butter-filled chocolates. Think of them as a cross between a peanut butter cup (the taste) and a peppermint patty (the shape).
Each roundel is two-inches wide. The insides are filled with Trader Joe’s No Stir Peanut Butter, while the outside shell is made of either milk or dark chocolate. They are topped with more dark or milk chocolate respectively.
So, I think it’s time to get in your car and go shopping. For those of you who are chocolate lovers, grab these too while you’re at Trader Joe’s.
