You know that feeling when you just need a little something sweet but don’t want to commit to a giant dessert? That’s exactly why I grabbed the small bag of Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups—and let me tell you, these little guys did not disappoint.
Taste & Texture
Imagine a Reese’s, but fancier. The dark chocolate shell is rich, smooth, and slightly bitter (in a good way), and then you hit the creamy, salty-sweet peanut butter filling—perfection. They’re the kind of snack where you think, I’ll just have one… and then suddenly the bag is half empty.
How We Eat Them
- Straight from the bag – No shame, no regrets.
- Chilled in the fridge – Even better when the chocolate has a nice snap!
- Crumbled over ice cream – Highly recommend for extra indulgence.
- Hiding them from the kids – Because, let’s be real, I want them all to myself.

Location in Store
You can usually find these in the snack and candy aisle at Trader Joe’s, near the other chocolate-covered goodies. They come in both small and large bags, but trust me, you want the big one.

These Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are dangerously good. They’re not too sweet, perfectly salty, and super snackable—basically everything you want in a peanut butter cup. Next time, I’m getting the big bag because this little one didn’t last long.
