I just discovered this candy at Walmart and only bought one bag to see how I liked it. I wish I'd bought more! I love almost any combination of fruit and chocolate and these sweet-but-tart little morsels are a superb example of how delicious that blend can be. Walmart's price is currently the best by a large margin, so off I go to stock up on my latest confectionary addiction!

I got some of these chocolates in December, and just ordered a replacement bag (because two pounds of chocolate should not be consumed quickly :). They are fantastic. It is high quality chocolate (nothing chalky or waxy) and tart pomegrante juice. 20 pieces to a serving, giving you 180 calories and 65 calories from fat.

I purchased these treats on Amazon thinking they would be like the chocolate covered pomegranate seeds at Trader Joe's, but unfortunately they are not. While they are quite tasty (yes, I will be finishing the bag!), the expectation was that there was actually going to be pomegranate as the main ingredient. The name is misleading and, like many food companies, this seller is jumping on the bandwagon of adding the smallest amount of the fruit in the mix and using its name in the title. The pomegranate juice concentrate is mixed with several other fruit juices, and there is no indication on the package of how much pomegranate is actually in there. Trader Joe's version is actual pomegranate arils covered in a small amount of chocolate - definitely could qualify as a "healthier" treat option. These, unfortunately, do not. Quite tasty, but don't kid yourself on any health benefits here - too much sugar! FYI: 180 calories and 26 grams of sugar in ¼ cup (about 16-20 nuggets).
