Sally-Ann Creed’s Chocolate-Covered Macadamia Nuts are the perfect guilt-free indulgence for chocolate lovers everywhere.

What Makes Macadamia Nuts So Special?
Often referred to as the ‘queen of nuts’ and for good reason! Macadamia nuts are:

  • Rich in healthy fats: macadamias are high in monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy and help reduce “bad” cholesterol levels. Did you know that they contain 82% monounsaturated fats! According to a 2023 study by Jones et al, macadamia nuts are unique in the fact that they are one of the few foods that naturally contain palmitoleic acid which is a rare fatty acid that has been linked to reduced fat production in the liver and improved insulin sensitivity. The study went on to say that supplementation of macadamia nuts in overweight and obese participants resulted in lower total cholesterol and LDL levels.
  • Full of lovely nutrients: These nuts contain magnesium, manganese, and small amounts of protein and fibre, supporting overall well-being.
  • Low in carbs: Perfect for those following low-carb or keto-friendly lifestyles.

The Power of Dark Chocolate

  • Antioxidants: Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants and flavonoids, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation.
  • Low Sugar Content: Made with a mindful balance of sweetness, ensuring it satisfies your cravings without overloading on sugar.
  • A Mood Boost: Chocolate contains compounds that promote the release of endorphins, making you feel happy and relaxed.
