Speckled Egg Milk Chocolate Bars

"Egg hunts are a classic springtime ritual—equal parts anticipation, friendly competition, pastel pageantry, and, of course, chocolate. Trader Joe’s Speckled Egg Milk Chocolate Bars capture the spirit of this time- honored tradition—minus the sprinting, the searching, and the inevitable grass stains on someone’s Sunday best—in entirely edible form. This particular hunt, however, is engineered in reverse: each package includes two Bars, each Bar is divided into five snappable sections, and each section holds one colorful, candy-coated milk chocolate Egg. In other words, you’ll find the Eggs inside the Chocolate this time. This begs an age-old question: Which came first, the Chocolate or the Egg? We counter: When they’re both this tasty, who cares? While much of the seasonal chocolate on the market leans waxy and one-note, Trader Joe’s Speckled Egg Milk Chocolate Bars are crafted with fine Belgian chocolate—rich and velvety-smooth. Also of note, the Speckled Eggs get their pretty pastel hues from spirulina, turmeric, and annatto extract—not artificial dyes. Tuck these Bars into Easter baskets. Add them to place settings at brunches, birthday parties, and baby showers. Or savor them section by section, as sweet, spur-of-the-moment springtime treats."
