I'm not sure how many times I've walked past this unassuming little box of chocolate-covered almonds assuming they were just that - chocolate-covered almonds.

Overall rating: a very enthusiastic 5 of 5 stars
He said: These delicious morsels are not only "drenched in dark chocolate" but drenched with flavor. Well balanced and not too much added salt or sugar in the coating.

Overall rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
