The ruby red pomegranate is a powerhouse of nutritional benefits. But combined with the seductive allure of chocolate, I've created a temptress of a dessert. To be honest, I've never tasted a pomegranate before. And to say that I was pleasantly surprised with its taste is an understatement. POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice rocks. It has wonderful potential to be used in many recipes, sweet or savory.
