The Discontinued Trader Joe's Candy Fans Are "Obsessed" With Is Finally Back On Shelves

Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears start with an assortment of “soft and chewy” gummy bear flavors before being dipped in smooth Swedish milk chocolate. While the inside is tender, the outside has just the right amount of bite to it – the exact element that makes this candy oh-so addictive.

According to a forum discussing discontinued Trader Joe’s items on Facebook, the Milk Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears were pulled from shelves last summer due to a labeling error displaying incorrect nutritional information on the packaging.

There was no news on their return until Trader Joe’s fan account, @traderjoesobsessed, shared an update on the Milk Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears with their Instagram followers in a June 10 post.

“These milk chocolate covered gummy bears are coming back in early July,” the caption reads. “I was sooooo sad when they were so short lived last year due to the incorrect fiber nutritional labeling! They are also perfect in the fridge. Are you excited?”

The fans, indeed, were excited. Many people sounded off in the comments section about the news:

“Omg I think about these all the time!!” one user commented. “Will be buying a case lol.”

“I will be getting a cart full this time and freezing them 😂,” someone else said. “They were so yummy!”

“Mark my words,” one more fan wrote. “I’m buying 10+ bags.”

The Milk Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears have held cult-favorite status ever since they hit Trader Joe’s stores, and the fact that they're back with TJ's already-amazing candy and chocolate lineup is so exciting for this summer. Gummy bears are forever a nostalgic snack, and they become even more enticing to me knowing they’re coated in chocolate!

The Milk Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears are currently listed on Trader Joe’s website for $3.99 a bag. If you have a sweet tooth, you won't want to miss 'em!
