The problem with Trader Joe’s is that it’s nearly impossible to leave without a snack. And when even the non-snack items feel suspiciously like snacks themselves, it only takes a trip down a few aisles before your basket is suddenly filled with a number of items that weren’t on your list.
The latest stowaway to earn a spot in my Trader Joe’s tote? A limited new arrival known as Dark Chocolate Mango & Passion Fruit Creme Thin Cups. Sold in a 7-ounce bag for just $4.29, this tropical chocolate fusion is a step up from the average peanut butter cup, packing a lush dessert experience into one thin, bite-sized treat.

If you’re searching for a chocolate snack that feels more fitting for summer, Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Mango & Passion Fruit Creme Thin Cups hit the nail right on the head. Made with a rich dark chocolate shell, each cup comes filled with a thin layer of fruit crème, offering a burst of tropical flavor you wouldn’t expect from such a small bite.

Speaking of small, don’t let their size fool you. These little cups may be almost completely flat, but they’re surprisingly satisfying to snack on. Measuring just a little larger than a quarter in diameter, they’re also dangerously easy to pop one after another, with each bite bringing a hit of that tart-sweet mango and passion fruit flavor.

The Perfect Treat for Summer Snacking
Nathan Hutsenpiller
Here only long enough to enjoy for summer, Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Mango & Passion Fruit Creme Thin Cups are like a little slice of decadence designed to keep within reach in their convenient resealable bag. Perfect for satisfying a sweet craving without committing to a full-sized dessert, these indulgent bites are easy to toss into a bag for a road trip, stash at your desk for an afternoon pick-me-up or enjoy whenever you need a sweet little tropical escape.
According to Trader Joe’s, you’ll only find them between the months of June and August, so be sure to grab a bag on your next visit. And considering you’ll likely fall in love just like I did, you may as well stock up to satisfy your craving through the end of the season as well.
