Cocoa D’or Nutffles: Hazelnut and Almond

On a mission to get my chocolate fix, I found these Cocoa D’or Nutffles in two flavors – Almond and Hazelnut. Each package costs about $1.29 at World Market and contains three individually packaged Nutffles.

First up: the Hazelnut. The Hazelnut Nutffles are dome-shaped and wrapped in lime green foil. Unwrapped, they resemble the look of Ferrero Rocher, though not as “nutty” looking. Made with Belgian chocolate, each Hazelnut Nutffle consists of a whole Hazelnut surrounded by three layers. Inside, the Hazelnut is covered with a smooth, creamy chocolate filling that is followed with a thin, cocoa crisp wafer. Keeping the Nutffle together, its outermost layer is a chocolate layer surrounded with rice crisps. Altogether, this Hazelnut Nutffle does wonders. The hazelnut, rice crisps and crisp wafer gives the Nutffle a nice crunch which is deliciously offset by the creamy chocolate filling. Suffice to say, the rich Belgian chocolate and hazelnut flavor are a really nice touch.

Now for the Almond. The purple foiled Almond Nutffles are made of the same layers but, of course, the hazelnuts are replaced with almonds. Obviously, since I enjoyed the hazelnut variation, it was no surprise that the almond was equally as satisfying. I loved it. However, I think the Hazelnut gives the Nutffles an extra oomph in flavor, while the Almond gives it a better crunch. After eating both flavors and finding them both oh-so good, I realize it’s the smooth, inner chocolate filling that makes the Nutffles absolutely delicious.

I recommend both these Cocoa D’or Nutffles to anyone as they definitely do not disappoint. The different nuts give these Nutffles a slight difference, but if you’re big on nuts, there is also Peanut flavored Nutffles which I did not find. The $1.29 price tag is nothing compared to the happiness these Nutffles have given me =D
