Chocolate review: Hawaiian Host Founder's Collection Dark Chocolate covered macadamia

I have a backlog of chocolate reviews not because I've slowed down in sampling, buying and eating chocolates but because there are other things to write about. Since today is Valentine's Day, I decided to mark this date with a post on chocolate.

We got this box of Hawaiian Host chocolates as a pasalubong last May 2024 and kept it on reserve for a few weeks before opening the box.

The dark chocolate variant of Hawaiian Host's chocolate cover macadamia nuts

Details at the back of the box included a brief history of the chocolate covered macadamias.

Nutrition information

Expiration date and ingredients - We ate this way before the 'Best Before' date. There is no information on the minimum cacao content of the chocolate.

When you open the box and slide the tray, there is still this cover to protect the chocolates.

Each chocolate sits on a slot. Without the cover, they can easily get dislodged.

We enjoyed eating this. The less expensive but usually available at supermarkets are the milk chocolate and dark chocolate variants of chocolate covered macadamias from Meiji. I thought Hawaiian host is just a bit better than Meiji's but you won't really be able to tell the difference when you're eating them. Will I be buying this soon? Maybe, but there is no urgency given there are many other chocolates out there to enjoy.
