I get the 72% one for baking. It's a great deal for the quality, even with the raised price. I wish they sold a plain bittersweet one though. One year for Christmas, I got the milk chocolate one for my dad. It was perfect for him 😂
I've always been curious about these chocolate bars but never bought them. Thanks Leigh for sending them to the Dunns and thanks for the review. Definitely getting the milk chocolate one next time I'm there!
The pound plus bars are such a good value. If I have a recipe for chocolate chunks or if I need shaved chocolate, I always use these. The left overs always get eaten. Great quality and fantastic price. My store has the bars at one of the checkout lanes. Thanks Leigh!
Hi Tammi! I couldn’t figure out how to private message you sorry , I sent you a package of pecan brittle and I totally forgot to include a little note that it was from me and I think you and Kevin would enjoy , I don’t think you have tried this they only sold it at Costco for a limited time( this flavor) I love it so much and I think you guys will also! I know you love pecans and brittle so hopefully you do a review and I can enjoy watching you and Kevin Enjoying it! Hopefully you receive it soon with no problems or delays🥰love you guys enjoy!!!
These bars make a really good cup of hot chocolate, I use 3 squares of the dark chocolate (the brown label) in a standard size coffee cup, fill it to almost half with heavy cream, microwave for a min., stir until it’s thoroughly blended and then fill with milk and microwave for another minute+. You can also use a combination of different squares for those that like darker or a little more milk chocolate.
I agree, even if there were 16 squares, giving the serving size in terms of squares, rather than a fraction of the bar, is much easier to digest… especially quickly as your devouring the bar 😅 I’ve seen these but have never tried them… guess that’ll be changing! Thank you!!
I got a big Lindt dark chocolate bar for Christmas & what i did was keep it in my freezer, and any time I felt like having some i just break a couple squares, wrap it all back in siran wrap & back in the freezer it goes! When i got to the end I switched to a ziploc bag.
I wish our Trader Joe's had a dedicated candy section. Instead the tops of every single chest freezer is loaded down with candies, cookies, gummies and chocolate covered nuts.
Neat you gotnto try all of these side by side! I think the toffee flavor in the milk chocolate is the milk powder. It gives a browned butter flavor in cookies 👍🏼
I never tried those but heard good thing I believe sometimes around the holidays they have one that has pretzels and caramel inside that looked amazing 👍😊
I enjoy the videos especially taste testing UK chocolate or biscuits. You might want to try Cadbury Dairy Milk with Oreo Chocolate Bar 120g as I think your US audience might not know about this combination. One Cadbury bar I enjoy is Cadbury Bournville Old Jamaica Dark Chocolate Bar 100g. This has a rum and raisin combo. Keep up the great work.
Are there 32 squares… because 1/16th would be 2 squares… for about $6 that’s great ! I’d be eating them. These are really good quality everyday chocolate bars… not necessarily something you’d pull out when company comes over but nice for everyday… my brother has a wife and 2 teenage girls… one of these bars woukd not last long at his house… lol
I have always seen these big bars but never thought to buy them due to the size. I’m sure people eat them and bake with them. They sound really good, especially the milk chocolate. Thanks to Leigh! Great review.
Ty for another great review! I have a question just curious what do ya’ll do with all the foods you try and review everyday…Do ya’ll share with your kids and family? 😅
I love these TJs bars. Thanks so much Leigh! You’re so sweet. I usually get the bars with almonds but also like them plain. These are my special treats. So it does take me a bit to eat them. Yummy. Thanks for an awesome review. Enjoy! Have a happy.😊
My husband uses that 72% dark chocolate Pound Plus to make his own hot chocolate every morning (he's hooked). I think they are okay, but don't go out of my way to get them.
I noticed in reading labels on everything I buy they have out bioengineered food ingredients in so many grocery stores. I don’t buy anything with that bio stuff can’t tell what it is in the foods maybe that’s why the taste is off.🤔
There's absolutely no reason for the milk chocolate bar to have so much sugar, which is the predominant ingredient! Too many Americans are too fat and Trader Joe's isn't doing their part to reduce this fatness when they sell chocolate bars with too much sugar.
People all over the globe are too fat not just Americans. We have seen our fair share in the UK. People need to take responsibility for themselves. No one is forcing anyone to buy this bar. We have free will.
@@TamiDunn I didn't mean to single out just Americans, but I think you'll find far fewer fat people in Colombia and Brazil, to use two examples. Of course people need to take responsibility, and they have free will, but manufacturers could play a bigger role by reducing the sugar content in their products. People in Germany, for example, use less sugar in their candy and baked goods than Americans,which has to translate to fewer diseases. Too often, people left to their free will make bad choices. I'm not advocating eliminating sugar, just reducing it to a level that will contribute less to disease and health problems, but still offer satisfaction for those with a sweet tooth.

Thank you to Leigh for sending! I’ve never worked up the courage to buy one of these.
They are worth it!

I hope you enjoy it!!
Omg, I'm so jealous! That's a chocolate extravaganza! You will have to throw a chocolate-tasting party or something.😍😄
Right?!

I buy the milk chocolate with almonds, melt it and make a rocky road type candy as a gift for my friend that loves it.
That’s a great use for it!

My Trader Joe's has these in the candy section. I've bought the dark and milk chocolate. I use them in baking and for eating.
I wish our Trader Joe's had a dedicated candy section. Instead the tops of every single chest freezer is loaded down with candies, cookies, gummies and chocolate covered nuts.

Sounds great!
Why not all :)
I'm sad you weren't able to try the pound plus milk chocolate bar with caramel, pretzel bits and sea salt-omg, so good and one of my favorites!
I have a high school teacher who works at Trader Joe's and was astounded that even such a store even exists.
I wish they would bring back my favorite & the only one I've had. It was milk chocolate with caramel, pretzel, & sea salt.
That sounds delicious!

We reviewed it about 5 years ago :)

This is the perfect family size candy bar - as long as everyone can agree on a flavor 😄
Great Trader Joe’s review as always. Have seen a few of these; yes I think on top of the freezers. Too big and dangerous to have in the house.
I understand!
Sounds good
I would make myself sick 😂😂😂 You would need to break off two pieces and hide the rest 😂
😂😂
I hate the stuff on top of the freezers too!! I just try and be oblivious to the people giving me glares 😂😂I just want to look at it all
I do too! I’m too slow for everyone else 😄
@@TamiDunnI always “lose” my mom in the aisle because I’m “taking too long” 😂
I have always seen these big bars but never thought to buy them due to the size. I’m sure people eat them and bake with them. They sound really good, especially the milk chocolate. Thanks to Leigh! Great review.
I understand! They are huge!
that’s a lotta chocolate 🍫 i would pick the plain milk chocolate or the milk with almonds they are big bars too 😮
Good choice!
Great bars, definitely single portion bars 😂😂. The milk version would be my choice. Thanks for the review.
That’s a great choice!
Ty for another great review! I have a question just curious what do ya’ll do with all the foods you try and review everyday…Do ya’ll share with your kids and family? 😅
Yes we do 😀
You can melt the chocolate and make fudge😊
I love this idea!
I love these TJs bars. Thanks so much Leigh! You’re so sweet.
I usually get the bars with almonds but also like them plain. These are my special treats. So it does take me a bit to eat them. Yummy.
Thanks for an awesome review.
Enjoy! Have a happy.😊
Glad you like them!
Im not a almond fan so my pick would be the milk taste wise but they are way to big for me to eat them need to be half the size .
My husband uses that 72% dark chocolate Pound Plus to make his own hot chocolate every morning (he's hooked). I think they are okay, but don't go out of my way to get them.
That sounds wonderful 😊
I just bought a bag of miniature Hershey bars, Easter color. They do not taste anything like they used to. The krackel is way off .
I noticed in reading labels on everything I buy they have out bioengineered food ingredients in so many grocery stores. I don’t buy anything with that bio stuff can’t tell what it is in the foods maybe that’s why the taste is off.🤔
That’s a shame.
Now that’s a chocolate bar 🍫. Dark all the way for me. Great review
They are massive! 😄
they changed the actual formula for the regular milk chocolate bars. I was saddened, but its all about making money. :(
Thank you for watching!
@@TamiDunn your welcome...:)
Looks awesome, I will have to try these! Also, secured box seats for Cincinnati Reds opening day(I'm assuming you're Reds' fans).
