Chocolate-Covered

Chocolate covered nuts and fruit

Nuts, fruit and good chocolate together are one of the best things you can serve with coffee. In this category we have gathered everything we coat in dark or milk chocolate, caramel or fruit glaze, from Brazil nuts and almonds to cherries and blackcurrants, all the way to pistachio specialities. These are treats you enjoy slowly, piece by piece, rather than by the handful.

When choosing products, we pay close attention to the balance between filling and chocolate. The nut or fruit has to come through, while the chocolate should complement it rather than drown it. That is why many of our products are coated in dark chocolate with a higher cocoa content, which is less sweet and lets the flavour of the filling shine.

Chocolate covered nuts, caramel and glaze

Our customers' favourites are chocolate covered Brazil nuts: large, creamy kernels available in both dark and milk chocolate. Fans of the sweet-and-salty contrast go for salted caramel almonds made with sea salt, which crunch first and then slowly melt on the tongue. An interesting newcomer is hazelnuts in pomegranate glaze. The fruity coating is slightly tart and pairs beautifully with tea.

All our chocolate covered nuts and glazed nuts are collected in a separate subcategory, chocolate covered nuts and dragées. Small chocolate dragees are practical for a guest table, a bowl at the office or as a sweet reward on the road. Caramelized almonds are popular with children too, so they suit family celebrations. Dark chocolate covered nuts, on the other hand, are the choice of those who prefer less sweetness. Chocolate covered hazelnuts, for their part, remind many of their favourite nougat pralines, just without the unnecessary fillings.

Chocolate covered fruit in dark chocolate

The second big group is chocolate covered fruit. We mainly use dark chocolate, because its bitterness beautifully balances the tartness and sweetness of fruit. Our range includes:

• dark chocolate covered cherries: juicy, slightly sour and ideal with red wine,
• chocolate covered blackcurrants: small berries with a bold flavour,
• orange peel, a classic that smells of Christmas all year round,
• chocolate covered strawberries in a popular mix,
• chocolate covered dates with hazelnut, made with no added sugar.

For anyone who finds ordinary candies too sweet, dark chocolate covered fruit is a good choice. A single cherry satisfies a sweet craving without feeling heavy. Dark chocolate orange peel has its own fan club. The candied peel keeps its citrus freshness while the dark chocolate softens it, so it goes well with espresso or cognac. The full range is in our chocolate covered fruit subcategory.

Pistachio chocolate and premium specialities

For pistachio lovers we offer dark chocolate with pistachios and brittle, as well as a pistachio Rocher made from dark chocolate with no added sugar. This kind of pistachio chocolate is hugely popular today: green, slightly salty pistachio and crunchy brittle against thick dark chocolate. Premium dark chocolate with whole pistachios also makes a gift that looks elegant on the table and stands out from other sweets.

You can tell good chocolate with nuts because the nut is whole and fresh rather than crushed to dust, and the chocolate has no aftertaste of cheap fat. We watch these details for every product in this category.

How we choose chocolate and fillings

We taste every new product as a team and compare it with what we already sell. We check whether the chocolate snaps cleanly, has a shine and melts evenly. With nuts we check freshness, and with fruit whether it is too dry or too moist, because otherwise the chocolate would quickly bloom. Only what passes this test makes it into the e-shop and the store.

Chocolate treats as a gift

Nicely packed chocolate covered fruit makes a far more personal gift than an ordinary box of chocolates. We will gladly put together a custom box from our range, for example cherries, Brazil nuts and pistachio chocolate together with Turkish delight or dried fruit. Such a box will delight colleagues, partners and family, and you can add a personal message. For larger corporate orders we will prepare a tailored offer.

Store chocolate products in a cool, dry place, ideally below 18 °C, so the chocolate does not bloom and keeps its shine. In summer we recommend not leaving the parcel in the sun and moving it to a cooler room as soon as possible.

Where to buy chocolate with nuts and fruit

We ship across Slovakia, usually within one working day by courier or to a pick-up point, paying online by card or on delivery. Reliable chocolate covered nuts delivery works the same in cities and in the countryside, although on hot summer days we recommend choosing a pick-up point or personal collection so the parcel does not sit in the sun. Prefer to choose in person? Chocolate shop Bratislava: our store at EUROVEA carries the full range, and you can taste before you buy.

Besides chocolate treats, we offer nuts, dried fruit and oriental desserts. You will find the full range in the World Nuts by Royana e-shop.
