ISO Dark chocolate-covered almonds

I am looking for dark chocolate-covered almonds. I hate the ones you get at the grocery store, they are far too sugary and not chocolatey-enough for my taste. Bonus points if the almonds are pre-roasted.

    On the expensive end is Soma in the Distillery District -- quality dark chocolate over roasted almonds. On the cheaper end (but still pretty good) is Costco. They carry a brand called "Chocolate Bowl" (I think). Roasted almonds, ok chocolate, but still addictive.

      Thanks, all. I will try Domino's first and go from there. I do prefer bulk over packaged as a rule.

        I'm pretty sure Domino's, at St Lawrence Market, in the basement, has them. They a have fruit and nut dark chocolate in bulk that I like that is much less sweet than prepackaged Cadbury or Hershey types. I'm almost certain I've seen dark chocolate covered almonds in the adjacent bulk boxes.

          I have purchased dark chocolate covered almonds at Shoppers...They are in a pouch in the candy aisle (one of the hanging displays) I'm sorry I can't remember the name (something beginning with "B" I think)....they come in milk chocolate as well. My husband seems to like them, I don't eat them so I don't know if they are 'sugary'. Think they're about 4 or 5 dollars..........
