Chocolate Covered Almonds

Chocolate Lovers, Rejoice!

Enjoy the ultimate in finger foods, satisfyingly sweet. At the turn of the century, machinery enabled candy-makers to quickly and inexpensively coat just about anything with sugar and chocolate, chocolate covered peanuts, almonds, raisins, caramels, marshmallows, and other tasty treats became all the rage. In fact, chocolate covered fruit and nuts were so popular, folks at home sent boxes along to the WWI soldiers.

What is Bridge Mix, Anyway?

Chocolate covered nuts were a popular theater snack as well as a hit with card players. Bridge players in the 1920s – 1950s sat around tables for entire evenings, obsessed with their favorite game. Put down their cards to eat? Forget it! That’s where bridge mix was handy – pieces so small they could snack with one hand and hold their cards with the other. Comes in a 4 oz heat-sealed bag with the history on the label.
