Hershey’s Nuggets Special Dark Chocolate with Almonds

Since I've been a blonde, I've found my taste for chocolate has gone to the dark side! When it comes to chocolate and candy, I want it dark with almonds! Welcome to my tasty review of my new favorite chocolate candy, Hershey's Nuggets Special Dark Chocolate with Almonds!

I recently tried a bag of Hershey's Nuggets Special Dark Chocolate with Almonds and found I couldn't eat just one.

Throughout my life, I've tried a lot of different varieties of chocolate from milk to white to dark and have always preferred the dark over any other.

You know, dark chocolate is better for you? That's my reason, for including it in my diet once in a while.

Who doesn't love chocolate? I do, but I don't like paying a lot for it. Since I am now collecting social security, I can't justify paying expensive prices for food or my chocolate.

There's my 12 ounce package of
Hershey's Nuggets Special Dark Chocolates with Almonds.
Looks inviting, doesn't it - why not buy your own?

In addition to loving the taste of the special dark chocolate, I have found that the almonds are especially crunchy with a lot of taste.

I found these two tasty almonds in one nugget and saved them for last.
They are roasted in cocoa butter and/or sunflower oil.
Yumm!! That's my hand!

Normally, I will savor the almonds in each nugget as the last bite. I will "suck" on the nugget until the dark chocolate is all gone, leaving just the almond. Then I will bite it. You know, it's like having two desserts in one : first the chocolate and then the nut.

I LOVE THIS CANDY!

It is hard to put into words what a soothing feeling it is having my dark chocolate nugget and then the almond(s). Sometimes I get lucky and have had three almonds in one nugget. That's special.

NUTRITION INFORMATION?

I was just checking out the Hershey's website for the nutrition information on this candy. Hershey's says they like to keep this information accurate but that you should always check your product packaging.

Those 4 tasty nuggets are just 180 calories.
I had mine as dessert whilst I wrote this review!

According to the website, if you eat four of these nuggets, that will be about 200 calories. However, according to the package it says four contain 180 calories! That's good to know because I can eat more than four!

There are 36 nuggets in one 12 ounce package - here is my proof!

I counted 36 nuggets in a 12 ounce package. That's 1,620 calories in the whole package. On each nugget gold wrapper is a phone number to call if you have questions; it is 1-800-468-1714.

Also, checking the back of the package it says that this candy contains the same natural antioxidants that are found in tea and certain fruits! I knew there was a reason why this candy tastes so good!

HOW BIG IS A NUGGET?

Take a closer look at that tasty morsel of candy.
Recognize the Pucci-licious Poptastic Color Club Nail Polish I'm wearing?

I just took a tape measure to one and found it measures 1-9/32 inches long by 15/16 inches wide at the base and approximately 1 inch long by 3/4 inches wide at the top with a height of 1/2 inch! Rather interesting measurements for a nugget!

IN CONCLUSION

If you like dark chocolate and nuts and are on a budget, you might want to try Hershey's Nuggets Special Dark Chocolate with Almonds!
