Food: Nuttychocomintalicious - Dark Chocolate Mint Almonds

Damn you, yummy almonds.
Thanks a lot, Blue Diamond.  I was not being tempted by sweets or grains or carbs for days, when a 14-ounce bag of these tempters leered at me from the store shelf - on sale, no less. I thought, they won't be good, so I'll be fine.
I was so wrong.
These are ridiculously tasty.  The coating, thin and granular rather than melty, has a true chocolate mint flavor but the focus is definitely on the almond itself.  Very, very nice to eat, and to continue eating.  At least they're healthy, good fats, and only 9 carbs a serving, so they're much healthier than a candy bar.
The bag reads, "A handful of nuts a day is a healthy snack."  Four handfuls is a healthy overdose.  I loathe Jewel, but we might have to call a truce since my local market doesn't carry these.
