Gift Cubes Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate Almonds Review: A Perfect Sweet Treat

If you’ve been craving that irresistible combination of smooth caramel and rich chocolate, Forest Feast’s Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate Almonds (packaged in their handy Gift Cube) deserve a spot on your radar. These aren’t your average chocolate-covered nuts; each almond is enrobed in a thick layer of milk chocolate swirled with a salted caramel flavour that hits that perfect sweet-salty note.

While the name might make you think of dates, the brand actually offers this salted caramel magic on almonds. I’ve spent a week tasting through the cube to give you a no-fluff review of why these little cubes are becoming a repeat buy for many—and how they stack up against other sweet treats like the Pistachio Crisp Milk Chocolate Dates.

First Impressions: Packaging and Presentation

The Gift Cube is a compact, premium-feeling box that’s perfect for gifting or stashing in your desk drawer. The vibrant caramel-coloured wrapping and clear window let you see the glossy almonds inside. Opening it, the scent is unmistakably buttery caramel with a hint of sea salt. The almonds themselves are generously coated—no thin, disappointing layer here.

Compared to the Pistachio Crisp Milk Chocolate Dates (which come in a similar gift-style package), these almonds have a more uniform shape, making them easier to portion out for snacking. The cube holds about 150g, which is enough for several servings without feeling oversized.

• The cube design keeps almonds from clumping together—no sticky mess.
• Great for gift-giving: just add a ribbon and you're done.

Taste and Texture: What You Need to Know

The star here is the salted caramel milk chocolate coating. It’s not overly sweet; the salt cuts through nicely, and the chocolate has a creamy melt. Each almond stays crunchy inside—Forest Feast slow-roasts their nuts, which preserves that snap. The contrast between the crisp almond and the smooth, salty-sweet chocolate is addictive.

If you’re a fan of chocolate dipped dates reviews, you’ll notice that dates bring a chewy, fruitier base, while almonds offer a more neutral, nutty canvas. The Pistachio Crisp Milk Chocolate Dates, for instance, have a crunch from pistachio pieces and a soft date centre. These almonds are all about that roasted nut crunch. Which one wins depends on your texture preference.

• Best enjoyed at room temperature for maximum flavour release.
• Pair with black coffee or a bold red wine to balance the sweetness.

Who Should Buy These?

These salted caramel almonds are ideal if you love sweet-and-salty snacks but don’t want anything too heavy. They work well as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, a dessert replacement, or a gift for someone who appreciates gourmet date products (even if these are almonds). The Gift Cube also makes a great stocking stuffer or hostess gift.

However, if you specifically want a caramel date snack, Forest Feast doesn’t currently offer a salted caramel date. Their date line focuses on flavours like pistachio crisp and peanut butter. So, if you’re set on dates, go for the Pistachio Crisp Milk Chocolate Dates. But if you’re open to almonds, these salted caramel cubes deliver exceptional flavour and quality.

• Not suitable for those with tree nut allergies (almonds).
• Store in a cool, dry place to prevent chocolate bloom.

Forest Feast’s Gift Cubes Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate Almonds are a crowd-pleaser that lives up to the hype. They offer a satisfying crunch, a perfectly balanced salted caramel chocolate coating, and a convenient package. While they aren’t dates, they stand firmly on their own as a premium sweet treat. If you’re looking for a similar experience with a chewy base, the Pistachio Crisp Milk Chocolate Dates are an excellent alternative. Either way, Forest Feast continues to prove why they’re the trailblazers of treats.
