Chocolate Chip Pain Au Lait

Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chip Pain Au Lait is the same as the heavenly Trader Joe’s Pain Au Lait, but with rich, dark chocolate chips throughout.

Pain Au Lait translates directly to “Milk Bread,” a humble name for these slightly sweet, elegant, brioche-like rolls. Moist, eggy, sweet, and straightforward, they pair beautifully with butter and jam—we recommend TJ’s French Cultured Butter and TJ’s Raspberry Preserves—and are perfect for dunking in coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. They make a lovely breakfast (pain au chocolat is the breakfast of choice for many French children), a sweetly satisfying snack, or a decadent dessert. (Try warming and enjoying alongside a scoop of TJ’s Organic Vanilla Fudge Chip Ice Cream—you won’t regret it!).
