Emerald Cocoa Roast Almonds

Last week I tried these for the first time. I REALLY liked them. They aren't your usual chocolate-coated nuts. Instead they have a light dusting of dark cocoa powder which somehow stays on the almond and not all over your hands. This gives them a mellow dark chocolatey flavor... not sweet, not salty but crunchy. A 1.5 oz serving contains 13 grams of fat, six grams of carbs, and 6 grams of protein. Very much the same as other nut products. So you can have your chocolate fix without blowing your diet, which is pretty cool.

I found the 38oz container of them at a Costco in Denver for around $13 (IIRC). Sadly the Costco near my house (Detroit area) doesn't have them (at least not yet).

The Blue Diamond Vanilla Bean almonds are REALLY good. I can't stop myself from eating them.

Yum! I just discovered the coco almonds at costco a week or so ago. They are so good! The vanilla bean is great too, Blue Diamond also makes a cinnamon one. Very yummy.
