Dark Chocolate Almonds

Dark chocolate almonds, like many dark chocolate covered nuts, can be found in three main configurations:  individually covered nuts, almonds in a dark chocolate bark or cluster, and dark chocolate bars, squares, or pieces containing almonds.  I've also found a couple of unique "extras".  Here's a sampling.

Individually Covered Almonds

You can find individually covered almonds at almost every web site selling chocolate, or nuts.  They're very popular.  Some are produced by some big names, others are covered by big name chocolate.  For example:

  • Lindt, Godiva, and Dove each produce individual dark chocolate covered almonds
  • Guittard chocolate is used to cover almonds produced by others
  • Valrhona Equinoxe Noir is a box full of 55% dark chocolate covered almonds and hazelnuts
  • And Trader Joe's dark chocolate covered almonds are unique.  They're covered with a light coating of sea salt and sugar.  It doesn't have the glossy smooth cover you associate with dark chocolate covered almonds.

Almond Bark and Clusters

There are plenty of recipies out there to make your own, but also many big and small web stores and specialty chocolate or nut places will also make and sell there own.  Sometimes there may be an extra ingredient thrown in -- I've found dark chocolate almond bark with cherries before.  And there are also plenty of sugar free options.

Bars, Squares, and Pieces

Some of these are simply dark chocolate with almonds, others have fruit as well.

Dark Chocolate Almond Joy?  Yep.  Also called "Almond Joy Chocolate! Chocolate!"  The "regular" Almond Joy is one of the only milk chocolate products I'll eat.  I've always enjoyed a Mounds, and have always thought a Mounds would be great with almonds.  Now we can have both the dark chocolate and the almonds!

Emerald Cocoa Roast almonds covered in dark chocolate flavored cocoa powder.  OK, this is really about the almond, not the dark chocolate.  The container even says the almonds are covered with dark chocolate "flavor".  This probably means there is very little dark chocolate, and too many other ingredients in the covering.  But they're good!
