Can Hershey Pomegranate Chocolate Rival Brookside?Search here to quickly find information you're looking for.  Custom Search I already love Brookside® chocolate. But when I discovered pomegranate chocolate candy made by Hershy®'s, I was intrigued. Could Hershey®'s extra dark chocolate made with 60% cacao compete? Could they duplicate or surpass the delicious pomegranate flavor in their competitor's candy? It wouldn't be easy, but they deserved a chance. So I tried it. Just a nibble and I knew.
The answer was yes and no.
Extra Dark ChocolateHow did Hershey® dark chocolate do against the competition? Great. The chocolate flavor was slightly more intense than the other brand. It was definitely the best part of the candy.The fruit flavor was a different story.
Pomegranate Juice ConcentrateBoth brands use pomegranate, cranberry, apple, pineapple, and elderberry juice concentrate. But the finished product is quite different.Hershey®'s, in my opinion, tastes odd. Initially, you taste the intense, dark chocolate flavor. Delicious. Then this strange flavor hits your taste buds. Something akin to bubble gum. Bizarre, nothing like the tangy fruit flavor of the Brookside® candy. Sorry Hershey®'s, when it comes to pomegranate flavor, your candy falls short. Oh, but when you check the nutrition facts, the news is better.

Overall, Hershey®'s is the winner in the nutrition category. It's a good choice unless you're main concern is cutting back on fat. Both brands claim to be a good source of antioxidants.
