Chocolate Cranberries and Cream Brownie Bites


Hi. My name is Alli and I’m a chocoholic. And proud of it! I have chocolate at least every other day. I just love it so much!! My husband and I both have a chocolate tooth, so if you were to open my pantry right now you would find all kinds of chocolatey treats. It’s so great.

Now my question for you is, have you tried Dove® Fruit – Whole Cranberry? It’s real fruit dipped in dark chocolate. And it is aMAzing!! We like to take family trips to Sam’s Club and venture around the store with the kids. We always find something new there, so it’s always an adventure! On this particular trip we picked up a bag of Dove® Fruit – Whole Cranberry pieces and I’ve been sneaking them ever since. I am honestly having a hard time sharing these. I’ll grab a little handful and either hang out in the pantry or run into another room to eat them so my kids don’t see. Am I Parent of the Year or what? We have family (also chocoholics) coming to town this weekend and I want them to try these little drops of heaven. Hopefully the bag will make it! Only a few more days!!

IMG_3351Now that you’ve added these lovelies to your Sam’s Club list, here’s where to find them! Head over to the candy section with all the chocolate-covered fruits and nuts. You’ll see them right there in all their Dove® Fruit glory. When we found them a light was shone down from the heavens and the angels started singing.

dove-chocolate-cranberriesI love that Dove® Fruit – Whole Cranberry is dipped in dark chocolate. It makes me feel a little better about how much I’ve eaten! It’s a snack option that’s just better for you. And I’m getting a chocolate fix at the same time!

So yummy!

I love chocolate and fruit recipes. I love the richness of a dark chocolate recipe especially. These kinds of desserts are just better for you, yet you don’t have to sacrifice the flavor of a fabulous dessert. Love it!

We made these Chocolate Cranberries & Cream Brownie Bites for a get together and they were so easy and fabulous. I loved being able to utilize Dove® Fruit – Whole Cranberry into the dessert. The creamy layer is a lighter version of a cream cheese frosting, so the brownie bites aren’t too rich but still so good. And they’re the perfect size!

chocolate-cranberries-and-cream-brownie-bites-3They’re the perfect size little dessert! And so darn good. These brownie bites would be perfect for a holiday party, which is why you need to run over to your local Sam’s Club and get a bag now! They will only be around for a limited time. And if you like cherries, you’ll want to head back to Sam’s Club this fall when Dove® Fruit comes out with a Whole Cherry version of this snack! I am so there.
