Dark Chocolate Macadamia Nuts

Macadamia nuts

Dark Chocolate Macadamia Nuts are a real favorite, either individually covered, in clusters or bark, or even in a few bars.

Macadamia nuts are native to Australia, but are now also produced in New Zealand, South America, Africa, Israel, California, and Hawaii.  The Hawaiian macadamia nuts, first commercially produced in the 1920s, established the international market.

Macadamia nuts contain very high levels of mono-unsaturated fatty acids, contributing to lowered cholesterol, and are also a good source of protein.  They contribute a fair amount of antioxidants, and, when eaten in moderation in combination with dark chocolate, can be very beneficial to your health.

Perhaps the most common way people enjoy chocolate macadamia nuts, individual nuts covered in dark chocolate are offered by many manufacturers, some of whom may include more well known chocolate, or even sugar free dark chocolate.  They're all good.

Clusters and Bark

Clusters and bark are available plain, with simply dark chocolate and nuts, or with coffee, with caramel (like turtles but with macadamias instead of pecans), and even with sugar free dark chocolate.

Bars
