Death By Chocolate! Name your Poison :)

They do make dark chocolate M&Ms...they come in the purple package.

yes they do, but that formula needs some further tweaking, imo. and those pretzel m&ms--what a fiasco that was! the chocolate-pretzel combination itself is a clear winner, but pu-leez, not in an m&m, guys. and, did you really think i wouldn't notice that my medium sized bag, once a one pounder, has shrunken down to a mere 11.40 ozs. of m&ms?...but i've got these grandkids....

What was this thread about again? Oh yeah, chocolate. Anyone ever tried cocoa covered almonds? It looks like they are just coated in sweetened cocoa powder. I keep seeing them in the store and thinking about trying them but I'm not sure I'd like the dusty feel of the cocoa.

P.A.G.,
If you'd like to make your own, here are two recipes from my to-try list. They both sound great:

SPICY COCOA ROASTED ALMONDS
Spiced Cocoa Roasted Almonds | gimme some oven

COCOA CARDAMOM ESPRESSO ROASTED ALMONDS
Cocoa Cardamom Espresso Roasted Almonds | my kitchen addiction

Thanks Merstar! That first one especially sounds good.
