Pistachio as ultimate preference. Hazelnut as convenient favourite. Peanut as dirty affair.

imo the only nut that goes from "fuck yes, more of this" to "ok, that's enough" faster than the hazelnut is the macadamia

A hazelnut actually is a nut, of course, none of the others are, they're mostly drupes... a botanical pedant writes.

Frozen Mug (Tom D.), Thursday, 16 January 2020 09:16 (four years ago) link

I partial to a Brazil nut, I love all nuts except macadamias, which are sort of nauseating.

Frozen Mug (Tom D.), Thursday, 16 January 2020 09:20 (four years ago) link

... drupes or seeds, a second botanical pedant corrects the first one.

Frozen Mug (Tom D.), Thursday, 16 January 2020 09:24 (four years ago) link

ah yr right though, Brazil nuts in chocolate can be awesome. brazil flavored toffee = best toffee

Raw, roasted, salted, unsalted, as a snack, as part of a dish or a salad.

Chocolate is for another day.

Never had chocolate with this variety of nuts. Usually cashew, pistacchio, hazelnut, peanuts, that's it. This wouldn't happen under communism.

I'm sorry but the correct ranking is this:

Voted almonds

Almonds is indeed the correct answer.

almonds M&Ms are the best kind of M&Ms imo

re: this poll, I like nuts and I like chocolate and when you put nuts in chocolate you are weaponizing chocolate into a gum-shredding nightmare

Almonds for Best Nut. I'm a major spender on almonds but I mostly like to mix them with raisins and blueberries.

Almonds dipped in honey are proof positive that the gods exist. Praise be to Demeter.

Not a nut but chocolate covered coffee beans are the business.

dinnerboat, Thursday, 16 January 2020 18:45 (four years ago) link

The first five or so of those are great. After that I long for a nut.

bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Thursday, 16 January 2020 18:50 (four years ago) link

Yeah Ritter Sport hazelnuts are swaying my vote

I’d say roasted macademia. (Macademia mosaique at our shop omnomnom). Second place salty almond (perle amande).

Pecan is the runaway here if we’re talking about things that are at best chocolate-adjacent, eg caramel, roulade, non-chocolate ice cream, various other desserts

But it’s almonds w/ chocolate for me Manish.

Master of Treacle, Thursday, 16 January 2020 23:59 (four years ago) link

macadamias

Darin, Friday, 17 January 2020 00:25 (four years ago) link

Adding to the hazelnuts pile. They are perfect with choc.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 17 January 2020 01:43 (four years ago) link

BTW the best combo is darkest choc covered craisins but thats for another poll I spose.

reading this thread I think walnuts are underrated as a pairing with chocolate

Dan S, Friday, 17 January 2020 02:49 (four years ago) link

Peanut butter M&Ms are the best M&Ms, actually.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 17 January 2020 12:21 (four years ago) link

^Definitely.

Voted peanuts. They're the tastiest nut anyway and they happen to go really well with chocolate.

dammmmmit in my haste i voted walnut but I meant Hazelnut. screw my life!

Yessssssss

Those are the best Ritter Sport

juntos pedemos (Euler), Wednesday, 22 January 2020 18:33 (four years ago) link

Having never had chocolate cashew before (favourite 'flavour' is roasted with salt and black pepper) I have just tried some anfd they are awesome.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 24 January 2020 15:07 (four years ago) link

à propro de honey salted almond Ritter Sport, I just had a Lindt almond-flour de sel 31% chocolat noir & it was excellent. obv different sans honey plus salt but extremely good. Lindt is the chocolate marque that's risen in my estimation the most in the last couple of years.

juntos pedemos (Euler), Friday, 24 January 2020 15:12 (four years ago) link

I took this poll as a Ritter proxy and voted almond too. The marzipan one is also a go-to

rob, Friday, 24 January 2020 15:25 (four years ago) link

yes I love the marzipan one also
trauben nuss is also a top ritter sport (I like the one with raisons a little bit less than the pure nutt one)

juntos pedemos (Euler), Friday, 24 January 2020 15:27 (four years ago) link

oh now the almond people show up. where were y’all when the filbertarians were stuffing the ballot box?

lol, I swear I silently otm'd your hardship food post

rob, Friday, 24 January 2020 15:33 (four years ago) link

honey salted almond, rum trauben nuss (hazelnuts! also I haven't seen a rum and nut without raisins in this country, alas, so I didn't know that was a thing) and marzipan are p. much my top 3 Ritter Sports, probably in that order, but only because for a while the local shop only did marzipan out of those three and I ate so. many.

think I only managed to buy one of them but the limited edition salty tortilla chip one was good too, if rather off-topic for the chocolate nut thread

a passing spacecadet, Friday, 24 January 2020 15:45 (four years ago) link

tortilla chip noted here iirc: RITTER SPORT POLL

rob, Friday, 24 January 2020 15:47 (four years ago) link

I think, for the purposes of this conversation, we can consider a tortilla chip to be a nut
