Quick Bites: Godiva Pearls

First, a little business: Congrats to SCD from What You See and Laurelann from Opinionated Girl vs. Wild, Wild World for winning The Give Bag package! Contact me with your address and we'll get them sent out ASAP! Now, to today's post...

As I think you know by now, this gal loves her chocolate. I love it dark, with caramel, with almonds and hazelnuts, with marshmallows, with crazy spices, you name it! I'll gladly try it. However, while chocolate might taste delicious it's not always doing my hips a favor. Since this gal is trying to lose a few lbs, Godiva Chocolate Pearls have become my new best friend. How cute are these little babes??

I first tried them a few years ago at an airport, and was immediately hooked, yet I could not -- for the life of me -- find them locally. I haven't give it much thought recently until just two days ago in the Charleston airport, what did I see? Godiva Chocolate Pearls! Packaged in perfectly sized containers for on-the-go deliciousness, the pearls are come in about six flavors. So far I've discovered white chocolate, dark chocolate (my fave!), dark chocolate with mint (like a morsel of a Thin Mint? yum!), dark chocolate with  mandarin orange, milk chocolate and milk chocolate cafe latte. You can buy them online in packs of six (or 18! Some people must really love them), otherwise shops sell them individually.

Packaged in these "take-with-me" tins, they're perfect for on-the-go for for a tiny after-dinner treat without the gilt. The entire container has 220 calories and 14 stinky grams of fat, however three or four of these mini pearls gives me the chocolate taste I need for probably less than 30 calories. SOLD! I keep them in my purse and in the pantry, too. Plus, the hubs is a huge fan, too! Maybe that pack of 18 is for me?! Hah.

Indulge away!
Have you tried them? What do you think?
