Leave it to a winery in dreamy Napa Valley to concoct heavenly, chocolate-covered sweets that pair perfectly with final sips of Cabernet and lingering conversation. Their attractive tin digs keep things neat – no melty chocolate fingers to mussy wine glasses, or let’s be honest, computer keyboards, since these morsels are also top desk drawer material.

While sea-salted, roasted almonds are pretty darn fetching on their own, there’s no denying that the addition of dark chocolate makes them basically omnipotent. Pop open their red-topped tin at your next dinner party and bask in your new reputation as hostess with the mostest.    

TIP OF THE TONGUE

Like it on the dark side? Try pairing with a glass of red wine.
