Pomegranate seeds are just the best. They taste great with pistachios, orange zest, and dark chocolate as well! These treats keep well in the freezer or they can be served at a party.

These little treats are healthier because they include dark chocolate, fruit, and nuts. They've got some sugar in them, but let's just acknowledge that sometimes life just needs to include dessert!

Do they need to be kept in the fridge? Or can it be left out in a container

I keep them in the fridge because it keeps the pomegranate fresher. They can be out of the fridge if you are gifting them, but if you're making them for yourself, I'd keep them cold!
