Pomegranates have become the new "it" food, the foodie equivalent of the latest Hollywood starlet. Loaded with almost three times the anti-oxidant properties of green tea or red wine, pomegranates are being used as ingredients in everything from juices to brownies to ice cream. Meanwhile, chocolate has long been known to be a mood lifter, and dark chocolate (in moderation) has more recently been touted as a health food with magical plant flavonoids that reduce the risk of blood clots and clogged arteries. So, what better than to combine mood-enhancing, healthy dark chocolate with another healthy food like pomegranates to create the ultimate super food? In 2009, chocolate without guilt is no longer an oxymoron!
