Brookside Dark Chocolate Pomegranate - 2 Pound (2 Pack)

We live on an island in Belize and Brookside snacks were my husband's favorite treat from Costco - which isn't here, and when I can find them in a store here, they are prohibitively expensive, melted, and probably expired. I was delighted to find these TWO huge bags for about $25! It's a great value and pomegranate is the best flavor, IMO. The others are great, but this one is the best! Hopefully Amazon keeps them in stock because we'll go through them in no time, even with me trying to "ration" them, heh!

These is so delicious that I need to put them out of sight, so I won't eat too many at once. It's the dark chocolate that helps your mood and the blueberries that are great for your health as they are high in antioxidants!

perfect!

I agree with Chuck...these are TOO good. I ordered my first bag because I wanted the health benefits of Dark Chocolate without that wretched bitter taste that makes me not like dark chocolate. Also, several research studies have demonstrated the benefit of (something in) pomegranate in going after ugly things like cancer cells. So, I tried them and and they were sooo good tasting (No, make that GOOD TASTING!!!) like those things you start eating and just can't find a stopping place, you know? I now SLEEP with a bag of these. My husband really likes them, too, and I find that sometimes when he rolls over, I find that he is in truth groping for the Brookside bag.Now the other downside is that these are high in fat...and it is ugly Saturated Fat, high calorie, contain cholesterol, and contain sodium. One MUST not give in to unrestrained eating of these yummy little bits, or one will have the shape of your average hippopotamus and lose all those nifty health benefits. This amounts to eating like a smallish handful per day...sort of like trying to put only one bubble in your bath. You might wonder why I still gave them five stars when I realize how UN-healthy they could be in excessive amounts...and the answer is because the taste calls for more than 5 stars, so health=3 stars, but taste=8 stars. Beware!I ordered the single bags with no problem. Then I ordered the two-bags from GR8-Mart, but, being in the throes of my unrestrained addiction for them at that time, I ordered 4 bags (2 bunches of 2 bags each). I think this must have confused their packers who are probably unused to really piggy people ordering that much, so I only received two bags total. I contacted this seller with terrific fast follow-up in getting my other two bags to me, so I'm ordering from them again.Just follow these rules and you will be okay:1. Don't eat more than a handful a day.2. Don't sleep with your bag next to you.3. Don't expose tubby family members to these...too dangerous. Plus, you might have to get creative in hiding your bag(s) from them!4. Don't keep your bag in a hot place (Duh!), and try to reseal the bag after each foraging because I suspect that even gnats, little ants, and no-see-ums would be interested in these.Incidentally, we had to drive to several days of meetings, so I packed my Brookside bag in a large strong ziploc with two of those frozen gel ice packs, and all arrived successfully with no chocolate melting despite outside temps (while stopping for lunch, etc.) of 100-plus.

I almost rated this a 5 when I received notice that my 2 lb bag had finally arrived because these chocolates are awesome! Yeah, I don't even want to give it one star now. Usually, I love these Brookside chocolates they are delicious and my go to chocolate, was truly becoming addicted I had not found a 2 lb bag in my area and was thrilled and willing to pay a bit more for it and it's Prime so free 2 day shipping.HA! It took ten days. Not back ordered, just sent the cheapest possible way. So I open them up excited and most of them are white like chocolate gets when it freezes and melts and freezes and melts, I was shocked because I HAD equated Brookstone with quality chocolate. Trying to pick through the bag for the treasures that I thought I had ordered, I tried to remain optimistic until finally I ate one that tasted as bad as the crumbling white-pocked ones looked. After I gagged, I think my eyes did tear up a little, the illusion was gone. I can't eat these. I can't return them because they don't expire for another 2 months so I can't risk them being repackaged and sold to someone else. And of course, you can't return them.I'm really disappointed in Brookstone, Hershey, & Amazon because this is THE worst online experience that I have ever had. The quality was completely lacking and that may honestly have something to do with the shipping method but maybe not, maybe they were the sweepings from the factory floor.And Amazon deserves some shame here. When I order something that is Prime and Amazon Choice, I expect to receive it in 2-3 days, not 10 days. The fulfiller of this product should be stripped of the right to ship prime products. Or NOT charge a price that indicates priority mail. I do love my Amazon shopping but your standards are slipping and honestly, even a refund can't make up for that bag and the experience.The only positive thing about this experience is that I'm not addicted to them any more and probably won't ever eat then again.

Tastes amazing and came on time with no issues!

One of my favorite, more healthy than not, treats. I highly recommend.

Came earlier than expected & were super fresh!
