![]() We found ourselves enchanted by the “wild strawberry” white chocolate bonbon, though none of us are hardcore white chocolate fans generally. “There wasn’t a bad bonbon in the bunch,” Kevin said. These bonbons were so lovely to see, it was almost-almost-a tragedy to eat them. ![]() This pretty little chocolate box from Stick With Me is absolutely delightful: Shaped like a book, the front “cover” opens to reveal six glossy, colorful domes of chocolate. This box is great for any time and any occasion, and I’m looking forward to creating excuses to celebrate, if necessary, to pop on a party hat, break into a box of Compartés chocolate, and have a good time. The chocolate makers at Compartés obviously like to have fun. Anna Kocharian, a CR shopping editor, said that though dark chocolate isn’t her favorite, the product was clearly high-quality. Those who prefer milk chocolate to dark may not gravitate toward this box. While the fillings are playful and unique, it’s evident the chocolate shells are well made: snappy, dark, and not especially sweet. ”Even though it’s not my favorite flavor, it tastes really good.” As a huge lover of funfetti, I’m pretty bummed I didn’t get to try that one. Other freaking extraordinary flavors include orange cream, which tastes just like a creamsicle strawberry, which-again-tastes like a strawberry shortcake ice-cream pop peanut butter, which Ginger summed up as “really yummy” and funfetti, which elicited a rare “wow” from my husband. ![]() “The chocolate and raspberry taste real.” Mary Beth Quirk, another CR editor, said: “The flavor hangs around and you’re glad that it does.” I’m not big on raspberry, either, and would not have gone for it first, but after trying it, all I wanted to know was: Could I have another? “Perfect,” said Ginger Cowles, another editor. “Raspberry has never been my thing, but it might be now,” said Kevin Doyle, an editor at Consumer Reports who participated in the chocolate evaluation. In fact, the lack of flavor legend led a couple of us to see a flavor we’d previously avoided in a new light, thanks to a particularly outstanding chocolate with a raspberry ganache filling. And this beautiful, elegant little box of chocolates from Los Angeles–based Compartés encourages you to try flavors you might not otherwise because they aren’t marked on the packaging. ![]() Read on to learn what I thought of each product and how the supplements made me feel - both right away and after a couple of weeks.For a chef or a cook, a true sign of success is taking a flavor your audience is known not to love and convincing them that they’ve been missing out this whole time. Lam says "dark chocolate should be consumed in moderation," and the recommended serving for each bag of Sourse supplements is two pieces.Ĭonsidering all the benefits and product options, I of course said yes when the Sourse team asked me if I'd like to try the entire line of bites. Lam tells POPSUGAR that flavonoids "aid in protecting your skin from UVB damage." Dana Ellis Hunnes, PhD, MPH, RD, senior dietitian at RR-UCLA Medical Center, says that flavonoids in dark chocolate can help "arteries produce nitric oxide, which can help open up arteries and lower blood pressure."ĭr. Dark chocolate is derived from cocoa-tree seeds, which, according to family-medicine doctor Carrie Lam, MD, are one of the best sources of flavonoids and antioxidants. She joined the team as a cofounder and creative director in 2021 with hopes to "develop life-changing products that benefit everyone who tries them." She said in a press release, "I have poured my heart and soul into creating this sweet treat with wellness in mind."Ĭurrently, there are five products you can pick from: Beauty Bites, which contain biotin for "stronger, longer hair and nails" Energy Bites, which contain caffeine and L-theanine for "calm energy" Glow Bites, which contain plant-based collagen for "hydrated smooth skin" Hype Bites, which contain vitamin B12 for "energy, clarity, and focus" and Mood Bites, which contain saffron and vitamin D for a "balanced mood." All of the bites are vegan and gluten free and contain a dark-chocolate center blended with key ingredients.Įach ingredient has its own benefits (more on that below), and the dark-chocolate component also serves a function. I learned that Sourse is a wellness brand cofounded by actress Sarah Hyland. So, when I heard about new dark-chocolate-infused supplements called Sourse, I thought they might make taking my supplements a bit more tolerable. Taking supplements in pill form isn't an easy task - after all, swallowing a big, bland-tasting capsule whole is not exactly an enjoyable experience. ![]()
