Here's Why Trader Joe's Peanut Butter Cups Taste So Good

Trader Joe's peanut butter cups are so dangerously good due to their simple recipe, which uses high-quality ingredients that lack artificial flavors and preservatives.

Of course, the cups contain peanut butter and chocolate, but TJ's credits the stellar flavor of both to the use of premium ingredients and the avoidance of less-desirable ones.

They're made with peanut butter from Virginia peanuts, rich dark chocolate from high-quality cacao beans, and are free of artificial colors and preservatives.

Besides standard emulsifiers, salt, sugar, lactose, and palm oil, they don't contain anything else, making their recipe stand out from other peanut butter cup brands like Reese's.
