Peanut Butter Dunx - Dark Chocolate product reviews

This was my second example of the Peanut Butter Dunx snack. I have tried the salted caramel and they were not really my thing but I did have higher hopes for these ones. Again the packet was incredibly easy to get into and pour out some snacks to share.

The photo shows two of the issues that struck me. The first is they are not entirely uniform in size which is not great - not really a massive deal though unless you are dealing with the "it's not fair" kids. However, if you are watching portion sizes just be aware. The next issue was that some of the snacks were not fully covered/sealed, Aesthetically this is the only criticism I can level at the product and it is more something to be aware of. It probably relates mostly to my ideal uses for these snacks.

The taste was great for me - bitter and nutty. Probably a bit of an "adult" taste and not for the chocolate lover (especially not the milk chocolate lover). I really enjoyed the bitter note and the combination with black coffee was perfect for me. I would not have known it was peanut butter as much as a soft dark chocolate with a very strong peanut. Lovely mix and a very distinct taste for me. The texture was great too.

This leads to my usage of these, which would be to pop them on teaspoons like they do chocolate coffee beans at cafes. A small amount would be a perfect treat, especially with an after-dinner coffee. I will definitely be buying these high quality treats again.

I would say for an event these would be great to add some luxury.

This product was perfect for me! Not usually a fan of chocolate, I found I really enjoyed this one. The combination of dark chocolate and roasted peanuts resulted in a strong, rich flavour with real adult appeal. I admit that I had not expected to like the mix, but was happy to be proved wrong - the roasting process had enhanced the nut flavour and ensured that the chocolate did not dominate it.

The peanuts inside were crunchy with a good texture and a strong flavour. Mr 11 and his parents all enjoyed them and said they would happily buy them again, either for a shared snack or to enjoy as a dessert with a difference. Only Miss Nine was not keen; the taste was not quite sweet enough for her, and she found the dark chocolate slightly overwhelming. As I mentioned, this is a combination which will probably appeal more to adults, so her reaction is not surprising. She likes chocolate and she also likes peanuts, but was not impressed by having them together.

We all thought the packet offered good value. There were plenty of nuts to go round, and even some left over after we had all tasted a few. My daughter, who does not like her chocolate too dark, found that this was just right; any stronger and she might not have enjoyed it. She said she would buy it for a treat but maybe get something else for Miss Nine! Interestingly, although the product describes itself as peanut butter, none of us thought it had any resemblance to the conventional peanut butter in a jar. This was more like a rich chocolate coating with the peanut flavour being provided by the nut itself.

I plan to buy another packet of these nuts and serve them in a sherry trifle over Christmas. They would provide crunch and extra flavour to this traditional dessert, and would stay firm once the trifle was chilled. We are planning a get-together with some older family members at some stage; there will be no children present on that occasion so it will be the perfect time to present them with my "adults-only" dish. I will also scatter a few on a dish of crystallised fruit and ginger; again, the contrasting flavours and textures will provide interest. I am sure I will think of some more ways to serve these nuts, but that might involve getting yet another packet to try them out. That is, if I don't just eat the contents myself while I am thinking about it.

Peanut Butter Dunx Dark Chocolate nuts, if you have not tried these yet, then I suggest you head on down to the local supermarket and snap you up a bag as you will be very happy. These are just amazing and insane how yummy these are. The creator of these was bang on with the flavours and who ever thought to mix the peanut butter with the peanut and add other flavours wow, good on them as they nailed it.

The dark chocloate flavour is just bang on and so tasty, and peanut butter taste just explodes in your mouth. I find you get lots in the bag and for the price of $5.99 for a bag it is very worth it. The best treat to have in the pantry, a snack for work, a treat with the kids or with friends. These would be nice to have with a platter, with a glass of wine with friends, add to the baking, the ways you use could enjoy these are endless.

I took half the bag to work to share with the ladies as I couldn't stop eating them at home so it was hard to seal the bag up again and take some to work. The ladies were very happy with trying these and all talked about how yum they were, they couldn't get their hand into the bag fast enough to get more to slap into the mouth. They all talked with their mouth full and said yum as reached for more. Please go out and buy some and try them for yourself as you will be very happy and your taste buds will thank you for it.

This household has numerous people living here that love peanut butter, we tend to go through a large jar every fortnight. When I saw that there was a new product available to request, and that it had peanut butter I knew we had to try them, after all chocolate and peanut butter are a perfect combination.

The packaging is striking, with the cream down the bottom, and the rest predominantly brown. The brand name Graze stands out and under it says 'Good Snacks', there is no mistaking that this product is Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Dunx, there are 3 delicious balls on the packet to tempt you. The packet is 170g in size, and according to the Nutrition Information there are 8.5 servings in here, I doubted our family would get that many, the packet is resealable so if they aren't finished all at once, they can stay fresh.

When I opened the packet I was pleasantly surprised to see how full it was, the aroma that met my nostrils was certainly that of a deep, chocolatey, nutty scent. I shook out some of the Dunx into my open hand, they were all different sizes, obviously due to the different sized peanuts. I popped one in my mouth and took a bite, the mix of peanut butter and dark chocolate, over the peanut worked well together, not one flavour overpowered the others, but the dark chocolate did leave a lingering aftertaste. I grabbed another as the taste was very moreish, the teeny tiny balls in the pack did not have peanuts inside, but were still delicious.

These Dunx would be good to have on hand as a treat for every once in a while, but at this price I can't just let the kids go wild with them. I think these would be an ideal item to put in a gift basket, or as a present.

Dark chocolate peanut butter and roasted peanuts, this sounded like a beautiful combination! Graze's DUNX in Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter come in an attractive foil-lined, resealable pouch with some enlarged illustrations of the nuts on the cover. There is a nice picture on the back with a nut cut in half so you can clearly see the crunch roasted peanut on the inside and the yummy dark chocolate peanut butter on the outside. I pulled three nuts out and they were all different shapes, some were almost perfectly round with just over a centimetre diameter whilst others were shaped just like a peanut. I discovered that the bigger the morsel, typically, the more dark chocolate peanut butter covering it had, whilst the smaller pieces were thinly covered. The initial bite was quite soft until you reached the peanut and the dark chocolate was velvety smooth. The real peanut taste came in at the end once the peanut had been bitten. These were delicious and decidedly moreish, although the dark chocolate peanut butter was quite rich so a serving of 10 nuts was more than sufficient.

My kids asked to try some and whilst my eldest wasn't a fan (she doesn't like dark chocolate so I wasn't really surprised) my youngest loved them and asked for more. I decided to give her a few in her lunch box as a sweet treat and she was really happy to see them there in the morning. I also rationed 10 of them into a container for my lunch and found that they were a sweet treat to give me a bit of an energy boost in the afternoon when levels started to flag. I really enjoyed these tasty treats and you can definitely taste the quality of the ingredients used. Because they are quite rich, it is difficult to have too many at once, even if the mind is willing, which makes them an affordable treat!

Peanut butter, chocolate and nuts, ummm, hello - yes please!! I am a fan of all of those and have to admit I was intrigued as usually the nut in this situation would be an almond, so I was really keen to try these and see if peanuts could work just as well as the heavenly match of chocolate and almonds, as well as never having tried a double combo dipped variety.

The come in a resealable foil package to help keep them fresh and maybe to encourage you to stick to the serving size recommendation of approximately 20 g. I will be the first to say I did not measure them out to see how much 20g is, rather just put a small amount into a bowl to eat. They have a good ratio of chocolate peanut covering and nuts and have not used too much extra sugar (well icing sugar) or other unneeded things.

I did notice in my bag that there is a variety of sizes in the nuts and also that they are not completely covered - but this is shown in the picture on the front too, so is not a complete surprise. The flavours of the peanut butter and dark chocolate I found to be quite subtle, but feel like it would be hard to cater for all tastes - I personally would like more of the peanut butter flavour, but I may be in the minority. I did like that rubbery texture on the outside, which is due to the icing sugar, I think?

Would I buy these again - the answer is yes, even though they are on the more expensive side, as I think they are a little bit special and different and would be great in a gift box or basket or as part of a platter or similar. Also they are easy to put down ( in my opinion) and not over indulge as they are not super sweet so having a few really hits the spot!

Why do all of these treats come in foil packs that are way too tall for the amount of product that they hold? As soon as you open the pack, everything slinks away, down to the deep recesses of the pack, down so far that I feel like I'm trying to eat a packet of pringles by how much I'm struggling to get my hand down there. At least the pack is clean, so I'm not pulling my hand out absolutely covered in chocolate of anything.

Well, it is safe to say that this product caught me completely off-guard. After trying a few different varieties of smooth caramel, white and milk chocolate covered almonds, I was not prepared for the intense heavily roasted flavour of these treats. Of course, when you switch from almonds to peanuts, you would definitely expect a boost in flavour, but these are the darkest roasted peanuts that I have consumed in a very long time.

This appears to be a very thinly dipped treat, with the dark roasted peanuts showing through in many places, so the ratio of surface chocolate to the inner volume of peanut, it's very heavily in favour of the nut. It is certainly a difficult flavour to compete with normally, but when you heavily roast a peanut, that intensifies the earthiness of the flavour even further. Combine it with dark chocolate and you will find that you don't actually have enough sweetness to balance that earthy peanut savouriness. The chocolate certainly takes the edge off of the harshness that the dark roast creates, but it doesn't create a treat that hits the moreish element that my tastebuds crave.

What it does hit, is the "healthier alternative" button. The dark chocolate does have enough sweetness and richness to register its existence, and the overall calories per treat are pretty reasonable and low compared to other comparable treat types with nearly half of the calories of other "double-dipped" varieties. The lack of a moreish component does actually work in the favour of this treat. I don't feel like I need to be afraid of purchasing this product. I won't feel tempted to eat the entire pack in one sitting. I can actually let it sit in the cupboard, and have one or two pieces to satisfy a particular craving and leave the packet for a while. I can trust it to sit in my pantry until I need some fuel food, not fun food. And that's a rare somposition to come by.

According to my husband I have became immune to the taste of Garlic and I need a lot of it before I taste it. I have decided that my family must be immune to Peanut Butter! For them the taste of Peanut Butter needs to be extremely strong for them to detect it - where as someone like me who absolutely hates the consistency and the taste of the stuff just needs the most subtle amount to be able to identify the presence of it.

I opened this after dinner last night. We were all still a little peckish and the packet was just screaming to me. The word Chocolate jumped at me and well my sweet tooth gave it. Opening the packet the three little Vultures did not take their eyes off me. I gave my two girls two each and my husband a handful. They all eagerly popped them in their mouths and all I could hear was fighting over who would finish the packet. They were all in love and wanted more. I asked if they could detect the peanut butter and what it was like and my youngest replied with 'what peanut butter - could not taste any just chocolate'. Now I must point out that this child loves her peanut butter and she smoothers her bread in it. Not even considering this fact I was elated thinking yay a yummy chocolate ball.

Wrong! I put it in my mouth and it was just like putting a spoonful of peanut butter in your mouth - the thickness of the stuff was in my mouth and my roof was coated in it. There was an underlining taste of chocolate but mostly it was peanut butter. There were fragments of peanuts and basically I sat there with a mouth of chocolate peanut butter. After coughing and spluttering and not one bit of concern for me the three of them argued over who would get the packet to finish. The bribing started shortly after and then the begging.

Where as three of my family think this is the cats pyjamas and are already asking if we can get again - for me not so much. I honestly do not think this packet will last five minutes after it is put on the table. My husband is already asking if I have finished my review yet as he is dying to have the rest. Definitely a winner if you like peanut butter and chocolate.

Peanuts... peanut butter... dark chocolate... that's basically the holy trinity of 'naughty snacks' for me so to have all three wrapped up in one tasty treat was simply too much temptation for me to resist.

I found these to be quite magical, when it came to eating them. Sweet enough to be a treat, but with the slight dry bitterness that highlighted the darkness of the chocolate, the smoothness of the outer choc shell that melted away on my tongue contrasted by the crisp crunch of the roasted peanut at its heart. Seriously, it's hard to write this review with it turning into a gushy love-letter to these delicate delights.

While I wanted to be good and just have a couple to start with, leaving the majority of the packet to use as a star ingredient in something else - maybe a mug-cake, maybe cookies, who knows - I found myself popping them into my mouth one after another, savouring the flavour and finding new layers each time which only encouraged me to have "...just one more...".

While these are a bit on the high side when it comes to price, you really do get what you pay for and I was very pleased to see that canola opil was used instead of the cheaper, and environmentally unwelcome, palm oil. The dark cocoa has that distinctive slightly-dry taste on the tongue that speaks to a clean, rich and pure cocoa, undiluted by bulking agents.

Overall, these are going to be high on my list of 'guilty pleasures' and when I feel like a really special treat to celebrate something special, I'll be making a bee-line for a packet of these. OK, maybe two packets.
