<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Planters Limited Edition Drizzle Roasted Nuts come in two varieties \u2014 Roasted Almonds with Dark Chocolate and Roasted Cashews with Milk Chocolate.<\/p>\n
If you think about it, with this line, Planters is giving us less of the good stuff. I\u2019m not talking about the nuts, which pay for Mr. Peanut\u2019s closet of top hats, monocles, and canes. I\u2019m talking about the chocolate.<\/p>\n
Of course, that is not Planters’ expertise. Nor does its parent conglomerate, Kraft Heinz, have a chocolate brand under its umbrella. But the sweet stuff is what makes these appealing, and they\u2019d be a lot more so if they had more than just a drizzle.<\/p>\n
Actually, \u201cdrizzle\u201d might not be the most accurate description of how much chocolate is on each nut. Yes, it\u2019s drizzled on top, but underneath there’s a solid thin layer of it. So it covers about 60-70 percent of the nut, but I wish it had more.<\/p>\n
But I can understand why Planters didn\u2019t thoroughly coat the almonds and cashews. It doesn\u2019t help highlight the nuts, which is Planters\u2019 bread and butter that pays for Mr. Peanut\u2019s other closet of white gloves, wingtips, and Crest Whitening Strips. I understand it, but I don\u2019t agree with it.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s be honest; drizzle is a fancy way of saying less chocolate. Heck, the word \u201cless\u201d can be spelled using \u201cdrizzle,\u201d if you take the L, E, and flip the two Zs horizontally.<\/p>\n
As someone who likes dark chocolate covered almonds, I feel I\u2019m getting a little ripped off here. Why would I pay for partially covered almonds when I can get fully covered almond for the same price or less. It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth that you\u2019d think would go well with the bitterness from the dark chocolate and almonds, but doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
My issue is that sometimes I can taste the drizzle, but most times I can\u2019t. When that happens, what my taste buds are left with are plain, unsalted almonds.<\/p>\n
Maybe it\u2019s the quality of the confection, which doesn\u2019t seem very good. Or its bitterness gets lost in the almond’s bitterness. Whatever the reason, these aren\u2019t that satisfying if I\u2019m trying to satiate my sweet tooth.<\/p>\n

FULL DISCLOSURE: I eat a lot more almonds than cashews, but I love the C-shaped nut a teeny bit more. I should mention this because I enjoyed these more than the almond one.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The chocolate isn\u2019t that great when eaten by itself because it\u2019s not that sweet, although noticeably sweeter than the dark stuff on the other one. But when eaten with the cashews, the sweetness and creaminess of both parts complement each other.<\/p>\n
The combination makes me want to eat a cashew butter and chocolate sandwich right now, which I would do if cashew butter wasn’t so darn expensive. With the almond one, I could pop a few in my mouth, and I\u2019m good. But with this, I want to eat the entire bag.<\/p>\n
I do wish they had better chocolate and more of it, but comparing the two Planters Limited Edition Drizzle Roasted Nut varieties, the cashew version is far and away the better one. Also, chocolate covered cashews aren’t very common, so it was nice eating them.<\/p>\n
