Buc-ee's Dark Chocolate Almonds

Chocolate almonds are the treat you can tell yourself is basically trail mix. We won't argue with you.

People search for them as Buc-ee's chocolate almonds, Buc-ee's dark chocolate covered almonds or Buc-ee's almonds. Dark is the pick for people who think milk chocolate is a little too sweet.

Why we like them: a whole almond gives a real crunch under the chocolate, which makes each piece more satisfying than chocolate alone. The small pouch is a good desk-drawer treat, and the big bag is the one for a candy dish or a holiday tray.

Honest notes: chocolate and Texas heat do not get along, so keep these out of hot cars and off sunny windowsills. They contain almonds, so they're out for tree nut allergies. If dark chocolate is too bitter for your crew, the Milk Chocolate Almonds are the crowd-pleaser, and the Milk Chocolate Coconut Almonds are worth a try too.
