The Hands-Down Best Bettergoods Chocolate Candy On Walmart's Shelves

Between frozen foods, pantry snacks, and more, Walmart's Bettergoods brand is quickly building a fervent following. If you like to indulge your sweet tooth from time to time, you can find plenty of options on Walmart shelves. In Tasting Table's rankings of Bettergoods chocolate candies, the number one choice was the Milk Chocolate Sun-Dried Figs, hands down.

Though this might seem an unlikely pairing, figs are just one of many fruits to dip in chocolate besides strawberries. With a unique taste and texture, the luscious chocolate coating enhances this delightful dried fruit. While the reviewer mentions that the overall selection of chocolates from Bettergoods isn't too inspired, these chocolate-covered figs nonetheless stand out as the best of the bunch.

They note that the taste and texture of the rich milk chocolate and the chewiness of the dehydrated figs are pleasing to the palate. But although this is the hands-down best selection of Bettergoods chocolates, the writer does point out that the oddly sized pieces somewhat hinder the usual satisfaction that comes from eating chocolate-covered fruits. This sentiment is echoed in Walmart customer reviews; some call the figs satisfying and easy to eat, while others share a desire for more consistency in the sizing of the fig pieces.

While the writer indicates that this Bettergoods product could be worth a special trip to Walmart, it would be even better to pick it up when you're already there shopping for other foods. Many items from Walmart's Bettergoods line would pair well with the chocolates. Add these figs to a grazing board filled with fruits, chocolates, and some of Bettergoods' selection of raw, roasted, and salted mixed nuts. Walmart's Bettergood's premium Swiss milk chocolate bar made Tasting Table's list of milk chocolate bars to add to your cart and you could easily chop this into smaller pieces to add to the board too.

These chocolate figs would make a great dessert to a meal made with fan-favorite Bettergoods items such as frozen pizzas, empanadas, and more. The fruit-forward treat would be best to top off a meal of heavy apps like Bettergoods' crab rangoons, stuffed bites, or fish nuggets.

For those who are interested in the concept of chocolate-covered figs, but feel put off by the underwhelming response to the Bettergoods version from Walmart, you can always try making your own at home. This would also allow you to chop up your dried figs into more uniform pieces and select your preferred type of chocolate for dipping rather than simply defaulting to milk chocolate. If you're browsing the aisles of Walmart in search of a sweet treat, picking up these chocolates is a good idea, if only to inspire your own homemade batch.
