It seems like everywhere I turn, new products are popping up claiming that they are high in antioxidants. From face cleansers to lotions, to supplements to teas, it seems like everything is getting a boost from these tiny molecules that help to reduce nasty free radicals and possibly even aid in the fight against diseases like coronary heart disease and even cancer. So I felt it only right that I set out on the journey to find some natural sources of antioxidants. To my surprise, and absolute delight, I found a great new product that naturally contains high levels of antioxidants and is given the best life seal of approval…and oh yeah, did I mention is also completely decadent?
Hershey, the iconic brand that brings us our favorites like KitKat and Reeses’s, now creates a delicious collection of Extra Dark chocolates . Research shows that one serving of Hershey’s Extra Dark chocolate contains the flavanol antioxidants equal to 2 glasses of red wine or 1 1/3 cup of blueberries. And with 60% cacoa expertly mixed with thoughtful ingredients like pomegranates, blueberries, almonds and cranberries, these treats are nothing short of sinful! Trust me, I’ve tried three of the varieties and even put my hubby through a “taste-test” and we both agree…they are delicious! (Yes, I know it’s hard work, but someone has to do it.)
So this Halloween, leave the milk chocolate and gummy goodies for the “trick-or-treaters” and give yourself a well-deserved, healthy treat from Hershey’s. Speaking of Halloween and treats, don’t forget to check out Hershey’s special Halloween Treats site for great holiday snack and treat recipes as well as great craft and decorating ideas for all the little “monsters” in your life!
