Chocolate-Covered Almonds

Enjoy chocolate-covered almonds – the perfect blend of smooth, creamy chocolate with a delicious almond crunch. Chocolate-covered almonds are the perfect finger food, easy to eat, in bite-size pieces with no fuss or bother.  That’s why they were enjoyed at cocktail parties and card games…and why families sent them to soldiers fighting in World War I. Brought to you by advances in candy-making of the 19^th century Industrial Revolution!

FUN FACT: In the 1920s through 1960s, card players sat around card tables for hours, sometimes late into the evening, obsessively playing “Bridge” – a favorite card game. Put down their cards to eat? Forget it! That’s where chocolate-covered fruit and nuts came in handy – pieces so small they could snack with one hand and hold their cards with the other. The name? “Bridge Mix”!

Comes in a 4 oz heat-sealed bag with the history on the label.
