Triple Coated Almonds: $12

These almonds are one of our best-selling items, and come in a fun and elegant gift tin. Each almond is roasted nice and dark, bringing out its full flavor and texture. Once they have cooled, we coat them with several layers of a unique blend of our 41% milk chocolate and our 65% bittersweet chocolate. The perfect amount of almond flavor combines with the rich chocolate coating to create a result that is sheer delight.
