First, chocolate caresses your tongue, sliding languidly around your quivering taste buds. Your saliva glands are at rapt attention, lavishing cocoa seduction with ablutions that seek to tame toe curling pleasure.
A snap and crunch releases roasted almond delight that surges up to meet chocolate heaven and the two flavors tango. In your hot, moist mouth.
This is how I feel about chocolate coated almonds. Oh, my palms sweat just a bit at the thought of chocolate almonds.
Chocolate covered almonds: 30 grams (about 1 ounce) has 160 calories, 12g fat (almost half??) 13g carbs, 2g fiber, 3g protein.
Sigh. That means one ounce per serving of carbs. Do you know how many pieces are in one ounce of chocolaty almond goodness? Eleven. As is, Ocean's. Meaning, not oceans of roasted almond and chocolate splendor.
Enter Emerald's Cocoa Roast Almonds. 1 ounce has 150 calories, 13g fat, 6g carbs, 6g protein. What's that?? Chocolate almonds with half the carbs per ounce??? Sure, the chocolate is not so smooth. It's present more in the aroma and in a titillatingly swift burst of flavor that leaves the party early. But not before leaving its phone number and some lipstick on a napkin.
This little snack may even replace my soysauce and wasabi almonds by Blue Diamond. Maybe.
