Traders Joe's Dark Chocolate Covered Pistachios

For just a moment, consider the complementary nature of dark chocolate and pistachios with us, won’t you? In terms of flavor, there’s the earthy, delicately sweet notes of a finely roasted pistachio, which plays remarkably well off of the rich, ever-so-slightly bitter elements of dark chocolate. And texture-wise, the tooth-sinking smoothness of dark chocolate superbly rounds out a pistachio’s tender interior after its initial, delicately snappy bite. It’s like they were made for each other—a match made in snacking heaven, if you will. We certainly will, which is precisely why we’ve introduced Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Covered Pistachios to our shelves.

Inside each pouch, our supplier has smothered shelled, dry roasted, and salted California Pistachios in a perfectly proportioned layer of deep Dark Chocolate so that each balanced bite takes your taste buds on a trek across the sweet-salty spectrum. They make an unbeatable anytime snack, can be mixed in to your own custom trail mixes, and are especially adept for adding to charcuterie boards and cheese plates, to provide even more captivating contrast. We also find that they make the ideal palate cleanser for serving in between sips at an at- home wine tasting with friends.
