Going with "other" for hazelnuts as well. A glaring omission!

Hazelnuts. Preferably with dark chocolate.

hazelnuts is indeed a glaring omission, my bad. I am personally a pistachio guy, though all of them are great in my book except maybe sunflower seeds which I prefer as-is.

― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Thursday, 16 January 2020 01:03 (four years ago) link
I'm also allergic to hazelnuts, so they're dead out. With milk chocolate, peanuts. With dark chocolate, almonds. These are solely matters of taste, than which none excels mine, but all are equal.
― A is for (Aimless), Thursday, 16 January 2020 01:13 (four years ago) link
Voted peanuts, but milk chocolate only. It's outside the scope of this poll, but lately I've been buying dark chocolate covered mini pretzels from Walgreens and they fucking rule. I usually buy a bag of dark chocolate ones and a bag of yogurt covered ones and mix them.
― shared unit of analysis (unperson), Thursday, 16 January 2020 01:52 (four years ago) link
yeah milk v dark is very much an important metric here. I don't really care about pistachios in milk chocolate. in dark chocolate they're incredible and in white chocolate they're sublime

this is a flawed poll topic. regardless of nut/seed options all are improved by chocolate.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Thursday, 16 January 2020 05:51 (four years ago) link
for me chocolate is most definitely improved by combination with nuts. I like nuts on their own just fine, but not pure chocolate so much
It's hard to rate the nut combinations, but macadamias, peanuts, almonds, and hazelnuts with chocolate are all really good imo
― Dan S, Thursday, 16 January 2020 06:02 (four years ago) link
I don't like chocolate. I like nuts. I hate nuts in dessert things. I voted macademia.

Almonds, while not unpleasant, are somehow simultaneously bland, oversweet, and overwhelming to other flavours they're paired with. Plus environmental disaster! Few things are more disappointing than buying somehting that claims to be pistachio and ends up being bulked out with almond, which is a totally different flavour.

Always good: hazelnuts, almonds (Scik's post noted though)
