I think it was about five years ago when I first saw the chocolate covered blueberry.
I, being a huge fan of chocolate covered cherries, was naturally drawn to them. I believe it was in a starbucks while waiting in line when I reached for a box and saw the price. It must have been over four dollars because I put it back. And ever since then I've seen them and said "oh chocolate blueberries!-- no, too expensive."
Thinking back, it wasn't like I was on food stamps, I don't know why I would pay 4 dollars for a mocha, but not on something I really wanted.
But today! when I saw a tiny bag in the impulse section of the check out at Michaels, I swooped because they were two dollars!
They were totally worth the wait, I ate the whole bag (24 berries) in about 15 minutes. They were even worth the weight too because I saw that a whole bag will run you 18 grams of fat.
Mmm chocolate blueberry fat.
The holiday indulgence season has officially begun! Bring on the stuffing!
EK loves those things. Me, myself, not a huge fan. It's just that while I love the pastey chocolate donuts, the "tartiness" (is that a word? If not I claim it) of the blueberry with pastey chocolate freaks my mouth out.
