TRADER Joe's has once again managed to capture the attention of snack enthusiasts with its latest offering: Organic Peanut Butter & Cocoa Crunch Cereal.
This cereal is making waves on social media, with many touting it as a tasty dupe for the beloved Reese's Puffs.
An Instagrampost shared by @trader_joes_treasure_hunt declares, "Reese’s Puffs who? We are loving Trader Joe’s new cereal. Organic Peanut Butter & Cocoa Crunch.
"A classic combo of peanut butter and cocoa! Who’s trying it?!"
This enthusiasm has sparked conversations across various platforms, including X, where users are excited to share that Trader Joe's cereal is not only gluten-free but also contains only 12 grams of sugar per serving.
Trader Joe's description of the cereal emphasizes the timeless combination of peanut butter and chocolate, highlighting how it fills a breakfast void.
“Peanut butter & chocolate candy," the description reads. "Peanut butter & chocolate cookies. Peanut butter & chocolate cake. These are all delicious treats, and each highlights in a special way the taste-relationship between PB & C. Missing here is anything tailor-made for breakfast-time enjoyment.
"With this top of mind, Trader Joe’s Organic Peanut Butter & Cocoa Crunch really delivers, for breakfast and beyond."
The cereal features organic cornmeal that has been sweetened and puffed into crunchy, bite-sized spheres.
Approximately half of the puffs are flavored with organic peanut butter, while the other half boasts organic fair trade cocoa powder.
This combination promises to satisfy any peanut butter and chocolate lover's cravings.
For those seeking an extra chocolatey kick, Trader Joe’s suggests substituting regular milk for their Fair Trade Cocoa Chocolate Milk.
Each bowl of this gluten-free cereal is said to present a delightful contrast of flavors and a satisfying crunch.
Trader Joe’s customers are looking forward to waking up to this sweet and crunchy breakfast treat, which promises to be a go-to option whenever the craving for peanut butter and chocolate arises.

Shoppers found a perfect replica of a $150 set of Pottery Barn plates and bowls. Plus, Dollar Tree has matching mugs.
Dollar Tree has a dupe for The Pink Stuff cleaning paste, too.
A notable advantage is that the Brim's chips are vegan, while the original Funyuns are not.
Customers have praised the generous amount of chips in the bag for just $1.25, especially compared to the $3 price tag of Funyuns at retailers like Walmart.
"I personally feel like they taste better than Funyuns," one customer shared on the Dollar Tree subreddit.
For those who aren't vegan but still want to save money, Dollar Tree also offers Andy Capp's Beer Battered Onion Rings.
The chips have received a perfect five out of five stars from shoppers on the store's website, and the brand even offers a spicy version of the onion rings for those who enjoy a little heat with their snacks.
These aren't the only dupes you can find.
