"But this is far from the hot chocolate beverages of yesterday, especially ones made from small packets of brown powder. The European style of drinking chocolate is a richer and thicker way of experiencing cocoa-based liquids, and TJ's version bypasses the need for visiting specialty chocolatiers or drinking-chocolate cafes. It's just as creamy and full-bodied as cafe versions, far less expensive, and you can stir it up on a moment's whim."
"It's Trader Joe's Drinking Chocolate, aptly named for what appears at first glance to be a simple drink. But this is far from the hot chocolate beverages of yesterday, especially ones made from small packets of brown powder. The European style of drinking chocolate is a richer and thicker way of experiencing cocoa-based liquids, and TJ's version bypasses the need for visiting specialty chocolatiers or drinking-chocolate cafes."
Trader Joe's 2025 offerings include five lesser-known hidden gems spanning comfort-food meals, spice-forward surprises, smooth and bubbly beverages, and nourishing snacks. A standout is Trader Joe's Drinking Chocolate, crafted in a European style from chunks and shavings of premium Colombian cacao rather than powdered mix. The product melts into a richer, thicker, and creamier drink that rivals cafe versions while costing less. Preparation requires gentle melting of cacao pieces rather than a quick stir. Seasonal product rotations and ongoing new releases continue to refresh Trader Joe's selection throughout the year.
