I’m not a huge fan of macadamia nuts, but when a housemate brought home a bag of Mauna Loa Milk Chocolate Macadamias, I gave them a try. The chocolate was sweet and the nuts were fresh and crisp, and I found myself sneaking back to the bag for more than my share.
Hawaii-based Mauna Loa’s products are diverse in both type and price, and I particularly like the looks of the chocolate map of the Hawaiian Islands. The pouches of covered macadamias come in two sizes (small and medium) and seven varieties—milk chocolate, milk chocolate toffee, dark chocolate, chocolate trio, candy coated, and sugar free dark and milk chocolate.
The 6oz bag that I snacked from contains more than four servings and was purchased at Albertson’s grocery store. I’ve also seen them at Kroger and CVS. I wouldn’t buy them just for myself, but I think they’d make a nice change from ordinary bowls of candy at a party. Next holiday, I might grab a couple bags of Chocolate Macadamias and let my friends enjoy something a little more exotic along with the usual Peanut M&M’s.
