Enjoy Life Foods Double Chocolate Crunch Granola & Semi Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks-Review

A few weeks ago I was lucky to receive a box of goodies from Enjoy Life Foods.  Inside there was a bag of Double Chocolate Crunch Granola and a bag of Semi Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks:IMG_0449
First, a bit about the company.  Enjoy Life Foods was founded early in 2001 and has 32 products on the USA market and 23 on the Canadian market.  Their products range from granola to trail mix to baking chocolate to cookies and bars.  All items are gluten free and allergy friendly.  They’re free of the top 8 allergens;
  1. wheat
  2. dairy

  4. tree nuts
  5. egg
  6. soy
  7. fish
  8. shellfish
Most are also free of:
  • potatoes
  • sesame
  • sulfites
  • casein
I must admit that the double chocolate crunch granola is divine and I’ve simply been eating it out of hand.IMG_0452

The mega chunks were super fun to bake with and made a nice sweet treat out of hand.  I baked a big batch of almond butter chocolate chunk cookies (for which I unfortunately lost the link to so please let me know if these are your so I can link back!!) IMG_0494 IMG_0492 The chunks held their shape yet proved to be melted morsels of love straight out of the oven; just like their dairy counter part.  The kids and I also topped many a pancake with  whipped cream cheese and chocolaty morsels!IMG_0487_1 YUMMY!  I also baked them into a batch of my dark chocolate chip avocado muffins.  Here’s some more info for you:
Ingredients: Evaporated Cane Juice, Natural Chocolate Liquor (non-Alcoholic), Non-dairy Cocoa Butter
