8. Milk Chocolate Covered Honeycomb Candy

This unique item is brand new to the Trader Joe's shelves: Milk Chocolate Covered Honeycomb Candy. Expertly crafted, the Trader Joe's explains exactly how it's done: "a thick syrup of sugar and honey is first boiled, and then combined with baking soda when it’s removed from heat. The mixture is poured into trays, and as it cools, the baking soda dissolves, leaving behind air pockets (reminiscent of a Honeycomb!) that create the Candy’s signature appearance and delightful, airy-yet-crispy texture." Doesn't that sound delicious?
