Sometimes life…..well…it…sometimes life just sucks. You know how the saying goes, “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” Well, life has been full of lemons lately, but it is too cold to think about making a nice refreshing glass of lemonade. I’ll settle for chocolate instead. Nice chocolate is generally my go-to when I am needing to de-stress and relax. I find nothing wrong with indulging in a little chocolate every now and then. 

I enjoy DOVE® chocolates. I can thank my mother for that. DOVE® is just like fancy decadent chocolate without the hefty price tag. So, here I am. Women on a mission. I headed out to the local Wal-Mart, knowing I’ll find something good.

It’s in the candy isle where I spotted the new dark chocolate DOVE® Fruit. These are dried blueberries, cranberries and cherries covered in that rich DOVE® chocolate. Best part? Each snack-size package contains 2 servings, each with 190 calories! I love the better-for-me option. #yumeating

It’s so simple to stick to your portions and not go overboard with your calories. Hey, there’s fruit in there! Fruit that is full of the good stuff, like vitamin C. 🙂 This is definitely a case of have your cake chocolate and eat it too.

So, I grabbed a few of these fine little treats.

Mr. YUM loves cranberries, blueberries and especially cherries. I think he was just as excited as I was. It’s ok. I was nice and shared. I bought extras. I encourage you to do the same 😉 He loved the cranberries most of all. I think he hid the package from me so he could enjoy them for himself. (Note: He actually packed them in his bag to take to work with him.)

What he didn’t know was that I bought a pack just for me….bwaaahhhaaaaaa 😉

My first snack, I put the three flavors in my perfectly portioned antique Pyrex. It makes me feel all fancy and elegant. Each bite was a surprise. With each bite, a little more stress started to slip away.

I have to tell you, these little balls of dark chocolate and fruit are nothing short of amazing.

Since this is the month of March when so many celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and then you have people like me who celebrate all month-long for Irish American Heritage Month, I thought I would celebrate and get a little festive with my DOVE® Fruit.

  1. I have been waiting for Dove to start putting Stevia instead of sugar into their chocolates. I can’t wait for that day to happen I used to love Dove and still would if I could eat it.
    Now you made me hungry for a Dove

    1. I wonder if that idea is in the works?

      I try to limit my sugar because it triggers my migraines. Stevia is the only sweetener that doesn’t aside from things like monk fruit or agave.

  2. Great review! I have wanted to try these since I seen the commercial! Dove is one of my favorite chocolates! Thanks for the wonderful review, I look forward to trying these out!

  3. Dove is one of my favorite chocolate brands. I need to go out and pick up some bags of these new chocolate fruits. They sound amazing!

  4. I definitely would go for the cranberry–at least 4 packages. Hey there is no way that one package would last 2 servings with me around. Share? Well I don’t have to since I live alone but maybe I’d take ne package and share when I’m driving my Mom to an appointment.

  5. Your talking to a chocoholic! But…the sugar makes me not feel so great – yet your designs and images were beautiful and made me want some sooo badly – maybe Dove will start putting Stevia instead of sugar into their chocolates!

  6. Dove is my favorite chocolate! I love how it’s not too sweet! I also like their fruit selections hehe! 🙂

  7. These all look so delicious, I really want to try the cranberries. Usually if I am looking for a quick snack, I get a snack cake, these would be so much better.

    1. This wasn’t bitter or non sweet like a lot of the dark chocolate out there. It’s pretty mild and the fruit really brings out the flavor.

  8. These look so delicious! Thanks for sharing – I’m going to have to pick some up at the store later!

  9. My favorite snack when i am enjoying some me time would have to be anything chocolate mint. I would love to try the Dove Chocolate covered blueberries first.
