The food in question? Trader Joe’s Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Chocolate Fudge Oat Bars.
The bars, which come in a box containing four, are priced at just $3.49 and are a great snack for summer if you’re not into icecream.
“Non Dairy Oat Fudge Bars are smooth, creamy, and delicious, just like the fudgy ice cream bars you remember from your childhood,” the product description notes.
Of course, one of the major selling points of the bars is the fact they’re dairy free, made instead with an oat base.
But they’re so tasty even Trader Joe’s claim you’d never be able to tell they’re not made with real cream.
So, it’s no wonder one shopper in particular was left saddened by the news the bars may be no more.
“So sad. Found out today these are discontinued due to slow sales. These were a summer favorite of ours,” she wrote on Facebook.
“My new mantra, don’t fall in love at Trader Joe’s. You’ll get your heart broken,” she added.
After sharing her heartbreak, others chimed in, equally disappointed to see them go.
“They were so good,” one person commented.
Meanwhile, another admitted they never got the change to try the bars.
As well as being free from dairy, the oat bars boasted being only 100 calories each, making them a great choice for those trying to cut back.
But the oat bars aren’t the only item shoppers have had to wave goodbye to recently.
The Chicken Sauce Breakfast Bowl from Trader Joe’s, which was first spotted in freezer aisles last year, proved a huge hit with shoppers over the last few months.
Made with scrambled eggs, chicken sausage and cheddar cheese, the frozen find which was priced at $4.49.
Shoppers went wild for it, praising its “crazy” amount of protein.
But now, Trader Joe’s fans have been left in tears after realizing that the purse-friendly buy has been discontinued.
Posting on TraderJoe’s Discontinued, a public Facebook group with 11,900 members, Don Sivley uploaded a snap of the tasty breakfast bowl and sobbed: “Wah! They discontinued the chicken sausage breakfast bowl!”
The foodie then added: “These were my go-to fill-me-up breakfast.”
Not only this, but Don also recognized: “Then to add insult to injury they don’t sell chicken breakfast sausage in the tube that you can break up and cook and make your own bowl.”
Don’s post has left many open-mouthed, with numerous users responding with shocked and crying emojis.
But fear not, as shoppers have claimed that Waffle House’s version is a perfect dupe.
