Gourmet Chocolate With or Without Nuts?  

Article by Mary O’Coughlin

Chocolate with nuts or without is a choice influenced by your tastes, preferences and your health concerns. Many individuals choose not eat chocolates with nuts, especially those made with peanuts, due to possible allergic reactions. There are extreme cases in which even a small amount of nuts can be lethal and can possibly lead to death. However, for many chocolate lovers, chocolate with nuts is the only way to go. These include chocolates with almonds, peanuts, cashew nuts, macadamia, and walnuts, just a few of the popular nuts mixed with chocolates.

Chocolate with nuts is generally the more popular choice than plain chocolate without nuts. This is evident by the number one chocolate bar worldwide has been for the longest time. The winning chocolate candy is Mars’ Snickers bar. This chocolate bar is made of peanut butter nougat topped with roasted peanuts and caramel covered with milk chocolate. Snickers is considered to be the bestselling chocolate bar of all time with annual global sales of about US billion. However, at present, we, as a society, have become more health conscious and are opting to eat dark chocolate without nuts, nougats or caramel, among other combinations. A higher content of cocoa in chocolates is preferred because according to medical studies this is healthier and not as fattening due to the absence of the cocoa fat usually found in milk and white chocolates.

We have become more aware of what we eat so that even the pleasure of eating chocolates has changed to fit our health needs. Plain dark chocolates with high cocoa content is the preferred kind of chocolate most especially those with calorie disorders, who are afraid of becoming fat as well as those that suffer from allergic reactions due to nuts.

The most commonly used nut ingredients are either dried fruit nuts from trees or peanuts, which is a variety of legumes. A percentage of chocolate lovers avoid chocolate with nuts because of allergies that may incur and lead to a severe nut allergy reaction called anaphylaxis. The symptoms for this include sudden drop of blood pressure and edema of bronchial mucosa which causes difficulty in breathing. If not treated right away, anaphylactic shock can even lead to death.

Some of the most popular nuts used with chocolates are almonds, peanuts, cashew nuts, macadamia and walnuts. These nuts are used whole, crushed or powdered depending on the chocolate recipe. Some of the most popular chocolates with nuts include peanut or almond chocolate covered M&Ms, chocolate covered Macadamia Nuts, Hershey’s Almond Joy and Hershey’s chocolate bar with almonds, Dove Promises, Dove Caramels & Chocolate Covered Almonds, and Snickers, among many others.

Whether you prefer your chocolates plain or with nuts is based on preference and taste as well as a health choice. While most people worldwide, as shown by the longtime bestselling chocolate bar being nuts-filled Snickers, prefer to eat their chocolates with nuts, eating anything should always be in moderation. Chocolates, with or without nuts, just have the added bonus of being yummy!

Snow Mountain Champagne Truffle (“Chammie”)

“Chammie” is a 50% Alianza Peruvian. He is very well boned with excellent structure. As a matter of fact, he has quite the attitude and prances where ever he goes. He comes from great color genetics and although he is registered as light brown, there are three colors present in his fleece: brown, white/beige (possibly grey) and black. Under the new AOBA show guidance, his fleece should probably be classified as Indefinite Dark, but some may classify it as a Rose. The light colored fiber is equally mixed throughout the main color. His fiber exhibits a good degree of brightness with full fiber coverage all the way down to his toes. Chammie placed 3rd under Judge Ruth Elvestad in the Light Brown Yearling Male Huacaya Class at the 2009 Great Western Alpaca Show (Level V Certified). Ms. Elvestad stated she liked his fineness of fleece and macho look. His personality is very friendly and curious. He is one of the easiest alpacas to handle and will allow you to do anything with him.
