The Trader Joe's Story

Trader Joe's built this granola for the peanut butter and chocolate crowd — people who want something more satisfying than a standard oat-and-honey granola. Using semisweet chocolate made with real unsweetened chocolate and cocoa butter (not just cocoa powder), and sweetening with maple syrup alongside cane sugar, this is a more ingredient-forward granola than most. Distributed exclusively by Trader Joe's, Monrovia, CA 91016 (SKU #75629).
