It’s true: Sometimes I will go somewhere other than the dollar store. And sometimes, I will find something that does indeed make me holler for a dollar. Like this chocolate bar, which combines some of my favorite things: dark chocolate and cookies (although the name Speculoos did give me some pause; although it apparently refers to a Dutch biscuit, the name sounds uncomfortably close to a medical device used to investigate body cavities).
The cookie filling is more creamy than crunchy, although there are some solid cookie bits in there (more would be appreciated). It’s a mild, not overly sweet filling, and contrasts nicely with the dark chocolate. A solid snack for 99 cents.
Found at Trader Joe’s, 801 East Avenue Chico, CA 95926
