Panda Express Debuts Triple Chocolate Rangoons in Collaboration with Ghirardelli

ROSEMEAD, Calif., Nov. 09, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Panda Express, the largest Asian dining concept in the United States, has introduced a new dessert item to its menu, marking the first collaboration between the company and Ghirardelli Chocolate Company. The Triple Chocolate Rangoons, a limited-time offering, will be available from November 10, 2026, through January 11, 2027, at participating locations in 10 test markets across the country.

The new dessert rangoons feature a crispy exterior and a smooth, chocolate cream cheese filling made with Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and Ghirardelli Chocolate & Cocoa Sweet Ground Powder. Each rangoon is drizzled with Ghirardelli's Black Label Chocolate Sauce and dusted with powdered sugar, creating a warm, gooey center that combines comfort-food nostalgia with dessert-shop indulgence. The rangoons are available as a two-piece order and as a 48-piece catering tray, with pricing varying by store.

The breakthrough, according to Lok, was crafting a warm, gooey chocolate center that hits the sweet spot between a fudgy brownie and a lava cake, providing a comforting, indulgent treat that customers didn't know they needed.

The partnership showcases three distinct Ghirardelli chocolate elements working together to create layers of chocolate flavor and texture in every bite, resulting in an indulgent, satisfying dessert.

Each serving of two rangoons, weighing 1.75 ounces, contains 180 calories. The menu item is available at participating locations in Chicago, Dallas, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco Bay Area, and West Palm Beach. Fans outside these test markets can follow @OfficialPandaExpress on Instagram and TikTok for potential future expansion updates.
