First of all, just because you see "dark chocolate" and "blueberries" doesn't make something healthy. Adding lots of sugar and processed, non-organic milk to raw cacao and/or blueberries quickly reduces their potential health benefits. (Plus corn syrup, etc.) Also, these are NOT all-natural ingredients in the sense of "from nature," as many of these ingredients are highly processed. They do not have any artificial colors or flavors though. (But "natural flavor" can mean a lot of things, and these include natural flavor.)Anyway, I was specifically disappointed not to find any ingredient labels online, even at Emily's website (so I've listed them below), but did want to try out the taste of these and the strawberries as well. The strawberries were much better. The blueberries had sort of a funny taste to me; some actually were pretty good, and then you'd get one that really DIDN'T taste good. Of course this is subjective, but I like the strawberries better. Both are pretty good, considering that they're packaged fruit.
For those wanting the ingredient list before buying them, here's what the package says:
INGREDIENTS: Dark Chocolate (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, milk fat, soy lecithin added as an emulsifier, and vanilla), Dried Blueberries (blueberries, sugar, natural flavor, citric acid, sunflower oil), Corn Syrup, Tapioca Dextrin, Confectioner's Glaze (refined lac.).
Product Description
Emily's Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries are a decadent treat. We sourced fresh whole berries and paired them with a dark chocolate blend that balances the naturally sweet blueberry taste. Emily's only uses whole berries - not pieces, purees, or jellies. Only the best will do and you will taste the difference. Try our Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries and Cranberries too!
