I love chocolate, but I try to limit how much our family eats, because like a lot of foods, it contains lots of things we really should avoid, if possible. Most candy contains ingredients like; high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, synthetic colors and GMO’s. Making candy with all of these ingredients makes them cheaper to manufacture and mass produce.
Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a UnReal Candy tasting party in our home. We invited 10 friends and family over and went to town on some chocolate fun and games. Unreal Candy is made by a new generation food company on a mission to “unjunk” the world. Lucky for us, they started with candy and did a good job at it, too! Unreal Candies are full of things that are actually good for you! More Cacao, peanuts, real milk, real cane sugar, and organic palm fruit oil. Unreal Candies have 30% less sugar, 60% more fiber and 250% more protein than other leading competitor’s brands. My favorite unjunking is the natural colors from beet juice, no artificial color!!
After we did our taste testing and enjoyed some warm beverages, we played a few games, tweeted and socialized. Each party goer was asked to complete a survey about the candies and pick their favorite. The overall favorite was the Unreal 54 – Candy Coated Chocolate with Peanuts. This was by far my favorite with the Unreal 8 – Chocolate Peanut Caramel Nougat Bar being a close second.
Our guests got a cute “treat” bag to take home, received information about the Unreal candies they were eating and were encouraged to check them out at the stores in our area; CVS, Staples, and Michael’s. Unreal candies are also sold at Kroger ( boy do I wish there was one of those in PA), Target, Rite Aid, Food 4 Less, BJs, Top, Fred Meyer, and Ralphs. Keep your eyes open for the distinct packaging, because it will probably be coming to your local store soon, if its not already on the shelves.
I felt really good about sharing these candies with my friends and family. Being able to have an alternative candy to choose that is made with natural ingredients is nothing but a win win option for everyone. We all need a sweet treat every now and then, so why not make it healthy one, too.
Be sure to check out GETUNREAL.Com to find out about all the candies they offer and there will be more unjunking to come soon. LIKE them on Facebook and be sure to follow them on Twitter @getunreal. #getunreal is the hashtag to ook for too!
I hope you start looking in your local stores and give #getunreal a try!
