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, 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.

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.

I mean almonds are a vital component in marzipan, and gain their classic status from that - but hazelnuts is the answer here.
― Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 21 January 2020 09:53 (four years ago) link
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)
― a passing spacecadet, Tuesday, 21 January 2020 10:31 (four years ago) link
Walnuts have a horrible spongy texture half the time that I can only assume is analogues with a cyst or pustule.

Damn, dude. Mr. Peanut saw these poll results and died.
It is with heavy hearts that we confirm that Mr. Peanut has died at 104. In the ultimate selfless act, he sacrificed himself to save his friends when they needed him most. Please pay your respects with #RIPeanut pic.twitter.com/VFnEFod4Zp— The Estate of Mr. Peanut (@MrPeanut) January 22, 2020

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

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

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
