Desserts from Trader Joe's — like its magnificent mochi or gooey cookie butter — are always a good idea. But when you are on the go and want a treat that you can unwrap in a jiffy, you need a good old-fashioned chocolate bar. Seriously, have you ever tried to eat cookie butter while driving? Bad idea. Luckily, the store offers unique chocolate sweets that you'll love to keep stowed away for dessert cravings whenever they may hit. Keep reading for eight standouts that will have your mouth watering in no time.

Campfire S'mores Bar ($3)

Want to feel like you're cozied up around a campfire without actually going outside? You'll find a friend in this tantalizingly textured chocolate bar, made with smooth milk chocolate, crunchy graham crackers, and perfectly mushy marshmallows.

Birthday Cake Bar ($1)

Give yourself a very budget-friendly gift in the form of this white chocolate bar, accented with cookie crumbs and delightful rainbow sprinkles.

Milk Chocolate Lover's Chocolate Bar ($2)

A TJ's classic, this bar offers everything you want in milk chocolate: smoothness, creaminess, and straight-up velveteen sweetness. Dark chocolate fans will love the dark version, which has equally cool packaging.

Golden Spiced Milk Chocolate Bar ($1)

Notes of curry powder, nutmeg, turmeric, ginger, and cardamom give this unique treat a comforting warmness, while bits of crisped quinoa offer a pleasantly unexpected crunch.

Joe's Dark Coffee Squares ($3)

If you (like me) have a special kind of trouble limiting yourself when it comes to sweets, you'll love these individually wrapped coffee-flavored chocolates, just one of which will satisfy your postdinner cravings.

Cold Brew Coffee Chocolate Bar ($2)

Trader Joe's goes all out with this multilayered bar, and we should all be here for it. It begins with dark chocolate, flavored with TJ's own Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate, which is sprinkled with finely ground coffee beans. Things get extra naughty when the bar is filled with chocolate ganache and coffee-infused caramel.

Marbled Mint Crunch Chocolate Bar ($2)

This magnificently marbled chocolate bar is flecked with chocolate-covered mint bits and cocoa cookie crunchies, and it's here to school all other minty desserts.

Fireworks Chocolate Bar ($2)

Leave it to Trader Joe's to make a candy bar that's equal parts classic and completely unexpected. A dark chocolate bar is anything but ordinary when it's made with popping candy and both chipotle and pasilla chiles for a treat that quite literally jumps in your mouth.
