Undercover Snacks created a simple, texture-rich snack by combining quinoa with pomegranate and chocolate, offering a treat that's not only nutritious but indulgent and full of flavor. The Dark Chocolate + Pomegranate snack is like a better-for-you version of chocolate bark, as it only features 130 calories and eight grams of sugar per serving, all in a formula that features 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa, non-GMO ingredients and a free-from formula that appeals to many.
All Undercover Snacks are created to be school-safe, allergy-friendly, free from peanuts and tree nuts and certified gluten-free. This year, Undercover Snacks' Dark Chocolate + Pomegranate flavor has been selected as a NEXTY Awards Finalist in the Best New Sweet or Dessert category.
