 Lots of Nut, Little Chocolate; Mixed Results June 10, 2008
I was particularly excited to try Emerald Cocoa Roast Almonds when they arrived in the mail today as I love chocolate and I love nuts.
Five individuals ranging in age from 2 to 50 tried these together and shared feedback. A few common threads emerged.
1. Chocolate doesn't come off on your hands: Very convenient as there is almost no residue left on hands even after holding a handful of nuts for a minute.
2. Very subtle chocolate flavor: For some this is a plus and for some this is a negative. You know the chocolate is there, but in my opinion it just leave you wanting more chocolate. I couldn't eat more than 10 or so for that reason. They were just plain frustrating. This was the consensus of 4 out of the 5 taste testers. The fifth loved them and plans on finishing off my canister and probably ordering more. They are definitely not milk chocolately, but have barely discernible, subtle dark chocolate undertones.
3. Dry: We all needed to drink water immediately after tasting the nuts as they dried our mouths out, much more than normal salted or roasted almost or any other nut for that matter. Three of us described them as tasting "burnt" or "too roasted".
4. We keep eating them: Even though I'm not crazy about these nuts - in fact only one of us was - we keep coming back for more about every hour or so. I get frustrated every time I do, either wanting a chocolate bar or just some plain old chocolate. Perhaps this is a good trait in a snack, that you can't keep eating them ad nauseum.
Other observations
The 11 oz ergonomically comfortable container is about 8 inches tall and fits perfectly in your hand or in the cup holder of the car. The lid is screw-on rather than flip-top. The package contains 11 servings of 150 calories apiece (120 calories from fat), 13 grams of fat, six grams of carbs, and 6 grams of protein. Very much the same as other nut products.
The conclusion? If you aren't sure already that you love these nuts, buying a four-pack might be too much for you. But if you love them, you love them, as evidenced by our one taste tester and many of the other reviews. I'd recommend trying a smaller volume before ordering in bulk here.
 The Subtle and Sophisticated Chocolate Almond May 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This most unusual dry roasted almond from Emerald is lightly coated with dark cocoa powder, slightly salty and slightly sweet, and utterly delectable. This is a scrumptious crunchy snack that can also be reasoned as being healthy, since it has dietary essentials like protein and fiber, and therefore good for the body, as well as the emotions, that desperately need some chocolate now and then!
The container information estimates that a serving is 1 oz. (about cup), which is actually quite a lot, and it's listed as 150 calories. Chances are though, that you won't stop at 1 oz. with these delicious little morsels in front of you. As a party snack, Cocoa Roast Almonds are a super hit. Although it seems that the cocoa is like a dusting over each nut, they don't leave your hands a terrible mess. Cocoa Roast Almonds make a terrific combo with your favorite beverage as a dessert, and they are also a nifty "on the go" breakfast. The chocolate nutty aroma is wonderful, and the 2.5 oz. bags are handy dandy for travel or lunch box. Good job Emerald on this excellent product!
