Panda Express tests triple chocolate dessert in San Diego locations

Panda Express is partnering with Ghirardelli Chocolate to test a new dessert called Triple Chocolate Rangoon at select locations in San Diego County, according to dailybreeze.com and dailybulletin.com. This dessert features a chocolate cream cheese filling made with Ghirardelli Chocolate and Cocoa Sweet Ground Powder, wrapped in wonton wrappers similar to the chain's Cream Cheese Rangoon appetizer.

The Triple Chocolate Rangoon is drizzled with Ghirardelli Chocolate Sauce and sold in two-piece orders, with a 48-piece catering tray also available. Prices vary by location, with a spot check showing two pieces priced at $2.10. Panda Express provides a locator map on its website to help customers find participating restaurants in San Diego and Los Angeles counties.

This launch is part of a test in 10 markets across the United States, with San Diego County among them. The Rosemead-based chain calls this its first-ever dessert rangoon. Additionally, Panda Express is currently offering Cantonese BBQ Brisket, which will be available through the end of the year while supplies last, according to company representatives.
