Comparing Chocolate Almonds

When we think of chocolate almonds, we have always thought of Nestle Scorched Almonds.  Now, we have started to notice a larger range in the supermarkets.
Nestle Scorched Almonds offer a thick chocolate shell, they are a nice mouthful, very sweet, and the chocolate flavour is a little lacking.  Here is what we bought to compare:

CADBURY CHOCOLATE ALMONDS

These are not as big as the Nestle Scorched Almonds.  They are not as sweet, but still pretty sweet.  The chocolate flavour is very mild.  We had no preference over these or Nestle.

WOOLWORTHS COCOA DUSTED MILK CHOCOLATE ALMONDS

We don't know who makes these for the Woolworths brand, but these are quite nice.  The shell is thinner and you can taste the almonds and the cocoa.

GRAZE SKINNY DIPPED MILK CHOCOLATE ALMONDS

These really focused on the almonds.   The almonds tasted nice and fresh with a bit of sweetness from the chocolate.  The chocolate flavour was not there, but we did really enjoy the freshness of the almonds.

NOM DOUBLE DIPPED ALMONDS CARAMEL LOVE
Almonds dipped in Belgian caramel chocolate.

These were quite nice.  The caramel chocolate flavour is mildly there, and you can taste the almonds too.

​NOM DOUBLE DIPPED ALMONDS MOCHA

Dipped in milk and white chocolate and dusted with espresso dusting.  The coffee we could taste, and there is sweetness from the chocolate, but not much chocolate flavour.  The almond is a background flavour but most prominent is the coffee.  These were quite nice, but we preferred the caramel version.

These were all sourced from the local supermarket.  We recently did an order of chocolate with Miann Chocolate Factory, and they gave gift of their Miann almond parcel, with Dulce chocolate.

These are so yummy!  They tasted buttery and caramelly.  The almond nuts were also nice and tasty.  We would have these over the supermarket branded chocolate almonds any day.  ​
