Chocolate Almond As a Gift For Wedding Guests

By Catharine Wittich

Ever since the first creation of chocolate almond bars by The Hershey Chocolate Company back in 1908, chocolate almond has hit the world by storm. Favored by most due to its lovely velvety texture of the chocolate with the nutty flavor of the almond, there is no other chocolate that symbolizes love more than a simple chocolate almond, be it an almond bar or chocolate coated almonds.

From its humble beginning as gifts by couples and lovers alike, the chocolate almond has now found reputation as being a popular gift item to guests of newly weds during wedding ceremonies. Originally, simpler chocolates or other form of 'love gifts', such as flowers and candies, were preferred over the chocolate almond due to the pricey nature of chocolate almonds during it's introduction stage. But as years went by, the price of chocolate almonds were reduced and the demand for it as gifts, especially wedding gifts, increased tremendously.

As simple as it is, the humble chocolate almond is not a chocolate to be looked down upon. Almonds are well known for its safe properties and are favored by lactose intolerant people, vegetarians, and those with nut allergies, but bearing in mind that getting the wrong almond may result in poisoning. Once the sweet, nutty almond is combined with the velvety texture of chocolate, a perfect blend from heaven above is made on earth. Suitable for all aged guests and loved ones, and reasonably priced as gifts, chocolate almonds are bound to be one of the world's most popular wedding gift for many years to come.
