Dilettante Bing Cherries in Premium Chocolate

I purchased a container of Dilettante Bing Cherries in Premium Chocolate from Trader Joe’s.  I purchased them initially not knowing how they were going to taste but I figured you can’t possibly go wrong with chocolate covered cherries.  I knew that I liked the Queen Anne’s Chocolate Covered Cherries so I figured these had to be “healthier” and undoubtedly yummier.

I have to say I was right.  These bing cherries are straight up delicious!  It’s a bing cherry (think the fresh cherries that are sold in the grocery store) that are dried a bit and then encased in chocolate with a coating on the outside so it doesn’t make your fingers chocolatey from the get-go.  Delicious!

I do want to point out I have spotted bagged versions of these cherries are Walmart.  I have purchased them but I find that the cherries sold within Trader Joe’s market are actually fresher in comparison.  The cherries (even though they are sold by the same company) are chewier from Walmart.  I just wanted to point that out incase anyone was interested in purchasing.

The greatest part is a serving size is 7 pieces and it will only cost you 5 points plus values!

Trader Joe’s: Dilettante Fruit Medley

While at Trader Joe’s I spotted these Dilettante Fruit Medley chocolate covered fruits.  The container contained cherries, strawberries, apricots and blueberries covered in chocolate with a mild coating on the outside to keep the chocolate from melting.  Chocolate covered fruit?  Hello, welcome to my shopping basket!  Sure, it’s a bit expensive (I believe they’re $4.99/5.99) but they are SO delicious.  I looked up the brand online and found it’s sold online for a lot more than what Trader Joe’s was selling it for, so no complaining from me!

One of the greatest part is the serving size – you get 7 pieces and it translates to being only 5 Weight Watchers Points Plus.  Not bad at all because you get a fabulous tasting snack.  The cherries and apricots are probably my favorite flavor. I will say the blueberries were rather lacking in the container.

The candies within the chocolate are almost a version of a dried fruit, but not dry and hard – kind of in between.  The chocolate is nice and mild.  The only downside is they can be completely addicting.
