Our Trader Joe's has a big display of holiday offerings right in the front of the store. Down on the bottom shelf were these Pound Plus bars, and I thought, "oh, a milk chocolate version for Christmas." (Not even thinking that they carry a milk chocolate version year-round.) Then, my eyes caught something else. It was like they zoomed in on the smaller print...
Milk chocolate bar WITH CARAMEL, PRETZEL BITS & SEA SALT!!! That bar was in my cart in less than a second.
Trader Joe's Pound Plus Milk Chocolate Bar with Caramel, Pretzel Bits & Sea Salt costs $4.99 each, and you do get a pound PLUS of chocolate. The bar weighs in at 1 pound, 1.6 ounces.

The packaging, as usual for TJ's, is cute...those pretzels on the wrapper are adorable. The bars are imported from Belgium.
The bar is scored into thick, hefty pieces; I'd say each piece is about 2-3 bites.
Trader Joe's Pound Plus Milk Chocolate Bar with Caramel, Pretzel Bits & Sea Salt Review
He says (Mark): Milk chocolate done right! My days of savoring PLAIN milk chocolate are over. TJ's and Belgium should team up more often. I'm happy to bring coffee to the next collation (please send a plane ticket). The combination and balance of the crunch and the added flavors are excellent. The CFO (Chief Food Officer, Bridget) may gasp, but I'd take this over dark chocolate most any day. The challenge is not eating 5 pieces - a whole row - in one shot. ;-)
Overall rating: 5 of 5 stars
She says (Bridget): Completely satisfying. The creamy milk chocolate, the sticky caramel, the crunchy pretzels, the hit of sea salt... it's all perfection. Serving size is two pieces. I started with that. Then went back for one more. And then followed that up with just two additional pieces. The squares are thick and luscious...and hard to resist. (Actually, I think it's calling me from the pantry right now!) This bar would be perfect in a Christmas stocking or even tied to the top of a gift.
Overall rating: 5 of 5 stars
Will I buy this again? As a matter of fact, I might run back to the store for another today!
