What it is
These are roasted whole almonds coated in a layer of rich dark chocolate. A delicate dusting of raspberry powder is then applied over the chocolate. The combination offers a balance of nutty, bitter, and tart flavors. The almonds provide a satisfying crunch, while the dark chocolate contributes a smooth, intense cocoa taste. The raspberry adds a bright, fruity counterpoint.
