Happy Easter Monday! We took Easter weekend off to eat some peanut butter eggs (and maybe peanut butter egg-stuffed cookies) and are back today with a Trader Joe's review. Dark Chocolate Drizzled Plantain Chips Sprinkled with Sea Salt. That's a long name!

A 6-ounce bag of the Dark Chocolate Drizzled Plantain Chips costs 2.99. The chips contain no added sugar other than what is in the chocolate. Serving size is 1/2 cup!
If you've never eaten a plantain before, they're not as sweet as bananas although they look very similar. They're also more sturdy and hold up really well to frying. Check out my friend Meseidy over at The Noshery for all things plantain.{Side note: if you are a banana lover, be sure to make these Nutella-Filled Banana Muffins. Trust me.}
Let's review Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Drizzled Plantain Chips!
She says: Nice and crispy with a definite hit of salt and a generous squiggle of chocolate on top, I could see myself mindlessly eating half the bag in one sitting. One of our favorite local restaurants (now closed...darn you, pandemic!!!) served thin, crispy plantain chips with their entrees, and I wonder if it's skewed my brain toward associating plantain chips with savory applications. I'm not sure how I feel about the combination of plantain chip and chocolate. That said, I just plowed through a good portion of them, so...
Overall rating: 4 of 5 stars
He says: Great combination of plantain chips and chocolate, BUT...not great execution. The chocolate was kind of tacky (like it wasn't tempered), and I didn't pick up much of the sea salt. Still, I wouldn't turn these down if they were offered, but I wouldn't choose them over plain chocolate or plain plantain chips by themselves.
