A study from 2017 found that when consumed separately, almonds and chocolate have each been linked to lower blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and hunger levels. However, that doesn't mean you should down 4 or more of these chocolate almond balls at once! According to the study we have about 270 discretionary calories every day, so that would be 24 almonds and 1 square of dark chocolate, or 2 of these almond balls. As it is with all things in life, the key is moderation.
