- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2025Flavor Name: peanutSize: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThese peanut butter cups are the absolute best! Definitely one of my favorites!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2025Flavor Name: peanutSize: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThis item is set up that if it is bad in any way you can't return it for a refund and if you read the reviews you will see that I am correct. This item was melted so bad it was no way to eat it.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2024Flavor Name: peanutSize: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThese not only taste heavenly, they are made with high quality ingredients!
REAL sugar, REAL peanut butter, REAL cocoa! A lovely stocking stuffer, side gift, or just a snack to have on hand. A real treat!
These are fabulous and I love having them around. I would love individually wrapped ones for the children that come to my door in October. WAY better than Reese's. No contest. Make it happen, Trader Joe's! Your quality is unparalleled!
If you love chocolate and peanut butter, you simply MUST try these! Addictive and delectable!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024Flavor Name: peanutSize: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI love these, but it’s over an hour to get to a trader’s Joe and I rarely go that way. I live in the mountains and decided to have them shipped. It was worth the extra price!

- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2023Flavor Name: peanutSize: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThe product itself was delicious and something I would buy again. My only complaint is the package arrived and the inner containers the cups came in were both opened and the pb cups were all over inside. There was just one little cold pack to keep them cold that measured approximately 1.5" X 3.5" and by the time it was delivered there was NOTHING to keep the cups from melting. Kind of a hot mess inside the box. This is the second time I have ordered these. The first time there were no problems at all with the packaging.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024Flavor Name: peanutSize: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI like these so much that I bought a few of them to give as gifts. Unfortunately, the packaging is so terrible that they weren't suitable to give as gifts. The chocolates were smashed or loose and and even that containers were crushed. Bought these several times and it's pretty much hit and miss if they come undamaged. I'd say about 50% of the time they're damaged. Company really needs to figure out how to ship these. I'm probably not going to buy them again for gifts but I will still buy them to eat for myself
- Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2025Flavor Name: peanutSize: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThis package was received opened. In addition the chocolate wrappers were off the chocolate. How would anyone ever take a chance and injest this item. Now I find out that it is not even returnable.
