I tried the new Chocolate Lava Gnocchi from Trader Joe's and was conflicted.
- After the internet erupted in conversation over Trader Joe's new Chocolate Lava Gnocchi, I decided to give the potato and chocolate dish a try.
- While I did enjoy the gnocchi's rich chocolate lava filling, I couldn't help but notice the distinct potato texture.
- Though I think they're worth giving a try, I think potato and chocolate simply don't go together.

I like potatoes, and I like chocolate. So, when I heard about Trader Joe's new Chocolate Lava Gnocchi dividing the internet, I knew I had to give them a try.
After grabbing the very last bag of the potato entrée-turned-dessert from my local Trader Joe's, I headed home to put them to the test.
They were very easy to prepare, only taking six minutes and a couple of ingredients.
However, while I did enjoy the gnocchi's rich chocolate lava filling, I couldn't help but notice the distinct potato texture of the balls themselves.
Don't get me wrong, I truly think everyone should give this unique dessert a try. However, for this taste-tester, as much as I wanted them to be a match in dessert heaven, potato and chocolate simply don't go together.
