If You Spot This $4.50 Luxury Dessert at Trader Joe’s, Grab 2 (Shoppers Say It’s Better Than Ferrero Rocher!)

Pralines come in many varieties, from the buttery, pecan-packed ones famous in New Orleans, to the almond-filled French versions, and the Belgian types featuring crunchy hazelnuts coated in chocolate.

Trader Joe’s just stocked its shelves with a Belgian-inspired praline filled with hazelnuts covered in a layer of crunchy wafer, a coating of creamy ganache, and an ultimate exterior of milk chocolate sowed with hazelnut crunchies. 

A few accounts, including @traderjoesobsessed, known for posting the latest product releases at Trader Joe’s, shared about the launch of Crunchy Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Pralines, and shoppers flooded the comments section with their thoughts. “Just got them and half the box is already gone lol. Love them!! Very similar to the Ferrero Rocher chocolates, in my opinion,” said one person. Another user compared them to the classic Ferrero Rocher chocolates, saying, “These are waaaayyy better. I want them to be [a] permanent year-long item. It’s such a better, richer quality taste than Ferrero.”

Trader Joe’s sells Crunchy Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Pralines for $4.49 per box. One pack contains 12 individually-wrapped candies, so you can gift the entire collection.
