What Are SkinnyDipped Snacks?
SkinnyDipped describes the way the company coats its almonds and cashews in a super-thin layer of sweetness. This carefully balanced recipe ensures a treat that contains less sugar and maintains the robust natural flavor of nuts.
Beyond almonds and cashews, SkinnyDipped has a line of Cups + Bites that also contain significantly less sugar than you would find in a typical candy-coated treat. This means you can satisfy those cravings without feeling the guilt. SkinnyDipped snacks are a delightful indulgence that provide a low-sugar alternative to candy bars.
The Story Behind Skinny Dipped
SkinnyDipped was founded just over a decade ago by Val and Breezy Griffith, a mother and daughter team who are committed to finding the balance between healthy and delicious. After spending years perfecting the dipping recipe, the pair moved from experimenting in their kitchen to having a nationally recognized brand with over a dozen products sold in over 30,000 stores nationwide.
What’s Inside SkinnyDipped Products?
SkinnyDipped products begin with a premium ingredient, such as crunchy almonds or buttery cashews. Then a thin layer of chocolate and/or another flavorful ingredient, such as a yogurt coating, is added to give the snack a little pizzazz. While these addicting treats are high on flavor, they are low on sugar. If you desire an in-depth look, all ingredients and nutrition information are available at the official SkinnyDipped website. For your convenience, we’ve gathered the key information on each product and put it in an easy-to-read table so all the important information is available at a glance.

Ranked: The Top 3 SkinnyDipped Products
Obviously, everyone has a bias when it comes to food. Especially yummy treats. After a taste test followed by a heated debate, here are Entertaining Option’s top three SkinnyDipped snacks. Note: Although the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Wafers would have made the top 3, we kept them out of this ranking because they already received the spotlight in a previous section.
Lemon Bliss Almonds
SkinnyDipped’s Lemon Bliss Almonds are refreshing, like a tropical drink at a resort. The robust joy that fills your mouth after the first bite is a delightfully invigorating surprise. Besides its startling flavor, the creamy yogurt coating softens the crunch of the almond inside just enough to make it feel like you’re indulging in an exotic high-end dessert. Lemon Bliss Almonds grab the top spot because munching on a handful of these citrus-infused treats is almost as rewarding as a day trip to the beach.
Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites
The Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites were just delicious. The coconut was remarkably sweet, while the chocolate was pleasantly subdued. Although this sounds like it could be a flaw, it’s actually an ingenious recipe. The ratio of chocolate to coconut was sublime; coconut was the star while chocolate had a supporting role. This balance lets you truly appreciate the full spectrum of the hardy coconut flavor. The portion size also helped get this treat into the top 3; one piece was large enough to de-escalate even an intense ambush craving.
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
For anyone wondering, no, you do not need an accordion-pleated paper liner around your peanut butter cup. It might seem like a tiny thing, but it makes a big difference to just tear open the package and eat. You don’t want any delays in accessing your treat. Especially when it’s a darkly rich and wonderful SkinnyDipped Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup! What makes this snack so great is the refined flavor. It is a candy that has been made for the adult palate. It’s also tantalizingly slender, so when you bite into it, you get straight to business: the peanut butter.
