Choc Goji Milk Chocolate Wolfberries

Hi everyone!

I came back from a trip to Singapore recently and I found something a little out of the ordinary while visiting a supermarket in Vivo city!

Chocolate coated Goji berries!
 It's advertised as one of those 'healthy snacks' you can have without the guilt or remorse of having a helping of chocolate and tastes good too. However I find goji berries and chocolate to be a rather odd combination, but I had to give them a try. There was a dark chocolate version available too at the same price.
It's fairly costly at about 4SGD a pack (that's about RM10 give or take) but it claims to give you tons of vitamin C and antioxidants so that counts for something right..?

I don't have images of the candies themselves (because I was dumb and forgot to take them), but they roughly look like chocolate coated sunflower seeds. The outer coating of chocolate is fairly thick and the goji berry inside is quite squishy and juicy.

Spire sezI can't entirely say I liked them that much, because the goji berries had a rather strong flavour that was a bit sour and herbal-like. The chocolate didn't help mask it that much but I found them pleasant enough to eat maybe once in awhile. Not a taste for me but it's still a fairly exotic choice if you like health stuff.
