Trader Joe's Slightly Coated Dark Chocolate Almonds Review
He says (Mark): Here's my slightly wordy review for slightly coated Dark Chocolate Almonds. This "dusting" of flavor is surprisingly tasty! The cocoa note is stronger than the sea salt note; the proportion of chocolate, cocoa, and sea salt is excellent. If you want a change from the typical uber-rich, thick coatings of other chocolate almonds, this is something you should try. I am already thinking of a new, homemade trail mix so I can add these in. Enjoy!

She says (Bridget): From the super crispy almond to the velvety cocoa exterior, these almonds are precisely what I was craving. How did TJ's know? They mean it when they bill these as "slightly coated;" the dark chocolate coating is thin. The flavor is more cocoa-almond-sea salt. Every so lightly sweetened with maple sugar, they're a great little treat when you want something sweet but don't want something super indulgent. (If you want indulgent, try Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Almonds with Sea Salt and Turbinado Sugar.) These Slightly Coated Dark Chocolate Almonds are also the perfect finish to a meal. LOVE.
