CHOCOLATE WITH NUTS: THE DEFINITIVE POLL

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!

this is up there with the brexit referendum and the people have delivered a message

This is the most ILX poll result of all time.

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

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.

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

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)

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

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

tortilla chip noted here iirc: RITTER SPORT POLL

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