Pound Plus Bar

Have you ever just thought to yourself: “I could really use a chocolate bar the size of my head.”

Well, look no further, my friend. Trader Joe’s has you covered.

The Pound Plus chocolate bars are a little over a pound (see what they did there?) – or 17.6 ounces – of creamy, rich, delicious Belgian chocolate.

They come in dark, milk, and with almonds, though I usually choose the milk.

Now, a pound of chocolate is a lot of chocolate, I know. But the bars are already divided into reasonable pieces.

They can be eaten straight up as a snack, or used in baking. A lot of people buy these bars and break them up themselves for cookies and such, rather than pay inflated prices for chips or “baking chocolate” at other stores.

And how do they taste? Not bad, actually! Is it the best chocolate in the world? No, but it’s worlds better than most American chocolate bars that you’re used to. It is real Belgian chocolate, after all.

And for the price point and size, it’s definitely a bargain.

The Pound Plus bar is available year round, which makes it great for keeping on hand for cookie baking or to satisfy the odd chocolate craving. You can find it with the candy, usually above the freezer aisle.
