Sugar Savvy

I was surprised at the show of self control I exercised while in Costco, walking past a giant bag of Brookside Dark Chocolate Covered Pomegranates.  Pomegranates… a huge weakness for this girl!  Nonetheless, I wasn’t at the store for me. I was there for work… work, I had to keep thinking work.

Then, it was onto Wal-Mart for me.  Why was there a bag of Brookside Dark Chocolate Covered Pomegranates in the candy aisle?  Seriously?  Someone is out to get me, I am sure of it.  Otherwise, why would the sweet, tart, delicious fruited candy be at my every turn?  The fact that I was in the candy aisle to begin with isn’t the point.  Huh?  What’s that?  Oh! The flavinol antioxidants! The candy is good for me.  Great!  There you have it. So it doesn’t really make a huge difference that I don’t believe there are actual pomegranate arils in the chocolate nibbles since the bag noted that the pieces are made from a blend of pomegranate and other concentrated fruit juices.

Brookside Foods, chocolate covered fruits and/or nuts, delish!
