Chocolate is always a nice treat, but with the addition of nuts comes key proteins and nutrients, good fats, antioxidants and more!
This week we’re sharing some easy guidelines for pairing nuts with dark, milk, white and ruby chocolate.
Dark chocolate: For nuts that have distinct flavors on their own, such as almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts and pecans, it is best to pair them with rich dark chocolate. Like dark chocolate, many nuts are considered to be superfoods.
Milk chocolate: What doesn't go with milk chocolate? Peanuts and milk chocolate are a classic combination. Walnuts also go really well with milk chocolate, because they have a bit milder flavor.
White chocolate: You will
often find macadamia nuts paired with white chocolate, due to their very mild
flavors. Cashews and white chocolate are another popular pairing.
Ruby chocolate: Ruby chocolate’s intense berry flavor pairs well with a variety of nuts, including almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts, pecans, pine kernels, pistachios and walnuts.
Standing on their own nuts and chocolate are tasty indeed, but when paired together their even better!
