TJ's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups include a rich, dark chocolate shell encasing creamy, salty peanut butter-what's not to love about that?
Well, if you're allergic to peanuts, plenty! It was this gap in salty, nutty-flavoured, chocolatey candy offerings for the peanut-averse that inspired TJ's product developer to create their Dark Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter Cups, the newest addition to our candy set.
The Cups themselves are formed with rich, fair trade Dark Chocolate, and measure about 5 centimetres in diameter. Encased in each Cup is a thick layer of Sunflower Seed Butter, which has been salted and sweetened just enough to avoid the bitterness that sometimes accompanies plain sunflower seed butter.
This magical merger of dark chocolate and salty seed butter masterfully mimics the craveable creaminess of a peanut butter cup, without peanuts! And since we're talking about what you won't find in these cups, gluten, dairy, soy, and tree nuts are all absent from the ingredient deck as well. While the nut-free ingredient deck makes these Cups a fantastic addition to a school lunch box, make no mistake-it was their sweet-salty, creamy, can't-stop-eating-them profile that truly won hearts (and stomachs) during our tasting panel.
Each package contains two generously-sized Dark Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter Cups, one for you and one for a friend (whether you share the second Cup or not is entirely up to you, of course).
