Brookside Dark Chocolate - Açaí and Blueberry

Whew, I know these say "may contain almonds" which is my one safe nut, but they still make me super scared to eat, especially since they used to be may-contain-peanut. But I gotta trust Hershey labelling. These didn't taste quite as good as the red flavor, even ignoring my fear -- they were mainly sweet balls with a dark choco coating. And the inside fruit bit was very firm, not chewy like I remember the other ones being. It's OK, but even if I had no allergies I don't think I'd yearn for these. They are classy though, and a fun shape!

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10

Brookside Dark Chocolate - Pomegranate Flavor

Although their website says "all products may contain peanuts", this package only mentions almonds, and I feel like it'd be weird to say "May contain almonds" if it actually may contain other stuff too. I guess I'm feelin' wild and risky today! Anyway, these were always off-limits so I was curious to try them. And they were good! Fancy! They're dark chocolate with some fruity (i.e. fruit juice, lol) flavors on the middle. A nice firm outside, like a skittle but made of dark chocolate a fruit juice. Had that fancy, truffle feel. I enjoyed it!
