The Blue Diamond Thin Dipped Almonds are the latest addition to the brand's product portfolio that aims to provide consumers with a better-for-you snack option that doesn't skimp on sweet, chocolatey flavor.
The snack starts off with the brand's signature almonds that have been dipped in a bit of chocolate to give each serving a sweet, satisfying flavor profile. The product features 50% less sugar than the average chocolate-covered almond snack on the market to give it a competitive, lower sugar edge and features 170-calorie with five-grams in protein per 19 almonds.
Senior Vice President of Global Consumer Division Raj Joshi spoke on the Blue Diamond Thin Dipped Almonds saying, "Whether you're a health nut or not, Thin Dipped Almonds offer a smart choice when it comes to sweet snacking. The thin layer of chocolate enhances the almond's natural crunch while allowing snackers to enjoy a sweet treat—without the guilt!"
