Emily’s Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries

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!
Customer Review: Excellent dark chocolate taste, without as much guilt!
Emily’s Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries are a real treat. It’s definitely rich dark chocolate, so you won’t want to eat the whole bag in one sitting. The blueberries are dried inside, but they’re still soft and they have the consistency of any other dried fruit, like Craisins. For some reason I don’t feel as guilty for eating this “candy” because blueberries and dark chocolate are both chock full of anti-oxidants. I can’t help but be sort of partial to them since they are “Emily’s” brand (which is my first name, too). 
The ingredients are simple: dark chocolate, blueberries (dried blueberries, high fructose corn syrup/sugar, malic acid, natural flavor, citric acid, and sunflower oil), corn syrup, tapioca dextrin, and confectioner’s glaze. 26 of these little goodies is 180 calories, 8 g of fat, 5 g saturated fat, 28 total carbs (2 fiber, 23 sugar), 1 g protein. 4% of your daily vitamin C, Calcium and Iron.
These would make a great gift, and they’re not overly expensive for a gourmet treat. Not to mention, they’re a nice change of pace from the typical chocolate covered pretzels, cheese logs, or whatever else comes in typical food gift baskets. You could easily order a variety of “Emily’s” items and make your own gourmet basket for a friend!

Customer Review: Good taste, unideal ingredients
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.). Click To Buy…
