Okay so I'm a bit of a freak when it comes to finding new products and testing them out...it's one of my passions and I try really hard to stay up to date on new products hitting my local store shelves. Anyhow, this week my latest find was one that has set the bar high. Hands down one of my new all-time favorite products.
I went to get my usual Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds (they rock!) and found they had just began stocking the shelves with a few new flavors in their Oven Roasted Almonds lineup (their Oven Roasted lineup was already awesome)…I was super excited to try the new flavors. I purchased the Butter Toffee and the Dark Chocolate Mint. Let me tell you what…they are both AMAZING. Let me sum up both of these flavors…
Butter Toffee: The perfect fix for that sweet tooth that just won’t go away (this happens to me several times a day!). These almonds are coated in this oh-so-perfect amount of buttery sweet goodness. They have that wonderful old-fashioned almond meets butter pecan ice-cream taste going…they’re crazy good! There’s only 160 calories in one serving (1oz) and all of this lineup from Blue Diamond, actually come in portion controlled containers (there’s a line on the back that shows the ounce marks, so you know when to stop…or when you should ;) LOL.
Here's a photo of the portion control container (brilliant idea!) ...
Mint Dark Chocolate: These are super rich, but in a oh-so-suttle way. Like, the cocoa and the sweet mint are there- but not overbearing like so many mint chocolate candies are…making these almonds even that much better to reach for! The best part is that they’re made from real dark chocolate and natural chocolate mint flavoring. There’s a hint of sweetness thanks to the stevia extract (this is great in coffee too, a must-have on hand). These nuts are also a great sweet tooth kicker!
I’m literally obsessed with both of these (well with Blue Diamond as a whole- I love all of their products...nuts, milk, chips, and crackers!) I am going shopping again this weekend, and will be giving the last of the new flavors- Dark Chocolate a whirl. I can just imagine they’re awesome like the rest…but of course I have to try for myself and probably update this post if I can remember too ;)
Anyhow I suggest anyone who likes nuts, or even anyone who has a sweet tooth (even people who don't generally like nuts!) should go and get these right away...they are amazing. They have set the bar high, definitely. Yaaaaay for new products, and an even bigger YAAAAY for great nut flavors- I love me a good healthy snack :)
