It tastes a little bit like grape juice.” - 5-year-old
“It tastes like Giselle.” – 3-year-old
Surprisingly, it doesn’t immediately taste like Hershey’s chocolate. We think there might be a little too much pomegranate; the sweet and tart fruit almost overwhelm the chocolate. Okay, so maybe that’s a good thing because it’s Hershey’s?
The chocolate is creamy and smooth, and a little too sweet for my taste. That does make this a good chocolate to introduce oneself to dark chocolate with. The bits of pomegranate are chewy, and stick to your teeth. Interestingly enough, my 5-year-old was pretty accurate with review: among ingredients listed are fruit juice concentrate (apple, cranberry, pineapple and elderberry juice concentrates). So, overall, the chocolate is overpowered with fruit juices and tastes, but has a good consistency.

This is a nice dark (70% cocoa) chocolate ‘infused’ with blueberries. This has a nice fruitiness to it – the blueberries bring a little extra sweetness to it (‘jam-iness’) . For those who need a clear conscious when consuming chocolate, these folks pledge 10% of profits back to help s”pecies, habitat, and humanity,” and is made with ethically traded cocoa beans. Bonus: inside of wrapper has a 25¢ off coupon for another bar – yum!
