New Product: Hershey's Milk Chocolate w/ Almonds Pieces

When I saw these, I immediately thought of my mom.

And myself.

When I was younger (like 3 years ago at the most) I never ate nuts. Sometimes, I'd spring for a peanut or two but really, I never ate just nuts. Peanut butter, yes. Nuts, no.

Almonds? Definitely not.

But one day my mom had "Swiss Chocolate Almond" ice cream in our freezer. The ice cream is basically just vanilla ice cream with chocolate covered almonds mixed in. I don't know how I came to taste testing it - I am, by far, one of the pickiest eaters you will ever meet. I'm so picky that I know my tastes and often won't try something because I know I won't like it. For those of you who think if I just tried it maybe I will like it, I've listened to people say that to me before... and I've tried the things they suggested - still didn't like the foods.

ANYWAY, somehow I tried this ice cream... and I LOVED IT! I never knew that I liked almonds before that day... and now I'm pretty much obsessed with them (but only partnered with chocolate.) So when I saw these "pieces" I knew I had to try them.

But I knew my mom needed to try them as well.

My mom is a huge Hershey chocolate bar fan.

In addition to Hershey's bars, she's also an almond fan. Lately she has had bags of almond M&Ms in the house so I knew these would be perfect for her. 

I tried them today and... I was not impressed. I'm not a huge fan of the regular Hershey's Milk Chocolate Pieces either... but I did say I'm a picky eater.

They are a little reminiscent of the almond M&Ms, if you have ever tried those (which I'm also not the biggest fan of.)

All in all, I would advise you to at least try them since our taste buds are definitely different. If my mom ever tries them, I'll let you know what she thinks. She's not as picky as I am.

Have you tried these pieces yet? What do you think? Let me know! Comment below :)
