Celebrating Sweet Independence with Hershey's Simple Pleasures Chocolates!

Having had my third baby 7 months ago, I'm still working on losing those last few pounds and getting my pre-baby body back. I've been trying to eat healthier and limit my calorie intake...including my weakness and something I LOVE...chocolate! I try not to indulge in my chocolate cravings too much, as I can't help but feel guilty eating it when I'm working hard to get back into shape. It hasn't been easy though, which is why I was thankful when I learned about Hershey's Simple Pleasures. I can now have Sweet Independence and enjoy my chocolate and all its deliciousness once again...guilt-free!

As someone who loves chocolate, I was excited when asked to try the new Hershey's Simple Pleasures chocolates. As soon as they arrived, I pulled them out of the box and read something on the back of the package that made my day (...summer, and year!)... Hershey's Simple Pleasures chocolates have 30 percent less fat than the average leading milk chocolates. YAY! Chocolate that I can actually enjoy and feel good about eating.

All three varieties sounded absolutely delicious (Milk Chocolate with Vanilla Creme, Milk Chocolate with Chocolate Creme, and Dark Chocolate with Chocolate Creme) so I opened up each one and tried them all right there and then! All I can say is yyuuummmm! Had I not read that these individually-wrapped chocolates only have 30 calories in each one, I would have never known! They are delicious and satisfy my chocolate craving like any other chocolate. The best part is, I don't have to feel guilty about it. I can enjoy a 30 calorie chocolate that tastes great, all while sticking to my diet and continuing to eat healthier.

My favorite would definitely be the Milk Chocolate with Vanilla Creme. The flavors are amazing and oh so yummy! And, I'm not the only who enjoys the Hershey's Simple Pleasures chocolates...my kids and husband also agree that they are delicious. Next time I get some, I think I may have to hide them so they last longer though! 


I simply could not give up my chocolate all together, and now I have no guilt in eating it thanks to Hershey's Simple Pleasures and their chocolate that states to have 30 percent less fat than the average of the leading milk chocolates! I feel great enjoying the foods I love, and you can too! Be sure to keep an eye out for Hershey's Simple Pleasures chocolates in stores.
