Product Review: Planters Chocolate Lovers Cashews

Description of the product:

The product comes in a small tin with a plastic cap. It is brown on the bottom and blue at the top. Of course, Mr. Peanut is next to the word "Planters" which is in yellow that is just a bit lighter than Mr. Peanut himself.

Above Mr. Peanut, the words "Milk Chocolate" are printed in gold on a brown banner. There's a picture of some cashews and chocolate covered cashews bathing in a pool of milk chocolate.

Then, underneath that, "Chocolate Lovers Cashews" is printed in gold on a light blue banner.

On the back, the nutrition facts, ingredients, and allergy information are listed. There's also the warning that children under six years of age should not eat nuts.

What the product promises:

The only promise the product makes is printed on the package. It states, "Planters has expertly roasted whole Cashews and dipped them twice in silky milk chocolate to create a rich and indulgent treat just for you."

What the product offers:

7.25 oz of chocolate covered cashews come in a canister. When opened, the chocolate smell is rich. The cashews are not salted too much as to taste salty with the chocolate. However, there is enough taste that the almost can be tasted along with the rich taste of milk chocolate.

The cashews are in halves so they are easy to eat. They are easy to share with others as well because of the small size and they do not tend to roll or move easily.

Is it worth it?

If you eat a lot of these, it is not worth buying. However, to have as an occasional snack or dessert, it is worth it.

Comments:

Of course, if you are allergic to peanuts or any other tree nuts, it is a good idea to not consume this product. The chocolate covered cashews are manufactured on the same equipment as these other nuts.

It is important to take not of a serving size. There are about five servings per container, so even if you eat just half a container at once, you've consumed about 2.5 servings. This would results in consuming 33 grams of fat and 460 calories.
