I bought the 100 calorie packs first, and then I bought them in bulk at Sam's Club. They are a very satisfying snack, and I am going to try to use them in some recipes as well.

I love these. I always keep a package in my purse, so when I get hungry I can reach for those instead of whatever unhealthy thing is handy.

I'm definitely buying some next time I go shopping. A combination of almonds and chocolate (cocoa)--yes, that sounds like something I'll like.

Going to look for these at the grocery today! Sound great and so much better than chocolate candy coated almonds.

These are awesome! I'm not a big sweet eater but when I want a little something, these do the trick big time! Also good to keep in your purse for those times when hunger hits and you can't get to a meal. One bag and a full bottle of water will hold you over!

A Perfect Chocolate Fix!
I love the 100 Calorie Packs of Cocoa Almonds (made by Emerald). This is the perfect little amount of chocolately-nutty goodness, and they make a perfect and satisfying dessert or snack. Plus, you get all of those great heart-healthy fats from the almonds! They're a win-win!! 244
Check out the dark chocolate flavored Cocoa Roast Almonds from the company Emerald. This is a great snack at 150 calories for 1/4 cup of almonds that have a thin coat of dark chocolate powder on them. You can have a chocolate taste without going overboard and get some great healthy fats, protein, fiber, and 35% vitamin E.
MORE INFORMATION:
While there are other flavors, upon comparing them, the dark chocolate flavored almonds have a LOT less sodium than the other flavors. Plus they have only 6 grams of carbs - 3 of which are fiber. With 8 grams of monounsaturated fats (the best kind) and 6 grams of protein, a 1/4 cup can be filling.
I love cocoa roasted almonds as an occassional snack. I stopped buying the snack packs and started buying the large bags. I count out 15 almonds (approximately 100 calories) and put them in a baggie to take for a treat at work.
MORE INFORMATION:
Buying in bulk saves money, Even though it takes a little effort and planning, portioning out the snack gives me control over my daily intake and how much I spend financially. This can be applied to other areas as well.
