These pearls are made to replicate the joy of eating chocolate treats as a child, but without replicating the guilt of eating a rich chocolatey treat. HighKey achieved this by ensuring that the chocolate pearls have no added sugar, no artificial flavors, and have only one gram of carbohydrates. The health-focused features do not end there, though, as the treats also contain only 70 calories per serving, are gluten-free, and contain 9 grams of dietary fiber. The Chocolate Pearls: Dark Chocolate are available at HighKey's online store in packs of two bags for $27.94 USD, however the brand allows users to save 15% by subscribing to its service, and also offers a money-back guarantee for unsatisfied customers.
