CHOCOLATE WITH NUTS: THE DEFINITIVE POLL

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.

re: hazelnuts

RITTER SPORT POLL

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

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

Yeah Ritter Sport hazelnuts are swaying my vote

Though if they made a pistachio bar...

Hazelnuts, I mean come on, what an omission.

Can't believe no one has mentioned the ICP, which stands for Insane Clown Posse -- their fans are called juggalos

I prefer chocolates with soft fillings but probably peanuts.

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

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

I prefer nuts with soft fillings.

ILE is really slipping if no one can come up with an off color reply to that.

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.

macadamias

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

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

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

^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!

Nah, screw Chachi for skimping on that option. Are they American or something?

that is no excuse IMO

Another write-in for the extremely obvious correct answer which is hazlenuts

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

Most peanuts are...serviceable, but if you get some farm-fresh type ones they are transcendent

yeah, hazelnuts for me too.

xp --

Yeah, there's a company near me that sells peanut farming equipment and also really high quality peanuts. I go through a crazy amount every year.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

almonds 4vr u corny indie fuxxors

peanuts: not even nuts

cashews: not even nuts

hazelnuts: weird european hardship food. basically acorns is how i break it down an extent

in the end macadamias, almonds, cashews and peanuts are my four favorites, in that order

this thread seems more about nuts than about chocolate

I am deeply offend

chocolate goes with any nuts

all of the winning choices in this poll will be right because all of them are great

Coconut

Poison

Hazelnut should have been included
as filbert for extra confusion.

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.

hazelnuts: weird european hardship food

FP'd.

I mean almonds are a vital component in marzipan, and gain their classic status from that - but hazelnuts is the answer here.

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

V good as an occasional treat, probably won't become my staple nut-in-chocolate: pistachio

The only one on the list which is not good: walnuts

(I have never had pumpkin seeds in chocolate iirc though, I am not super sold on the concept tbh but would try)

Walnuts have a horrible spongy texture half the time that I can only assume is analogues with a cyst or pustule.

uh

my nephew, in the back seat of the car, around age 8, eating almonds my sister gave him

"mom?"

"yes honey?"

"are we eating wood?"

"basically acorns" is still killing me

I'm fighting the urge to post Sandra Lee's Kwanzaa cake

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Hazelnuts for the win!

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