Macfarms Kona Coffee Dark Chocolate Covered Macadamias

I first got these chocolate covered macadamia nuts as a Christmas gift. I was instantly hooked. It took all my will power not to eat the whole jar in one sitting. While reading the ingredients I saw that the dark chocolate has Chocolate Liquor, and the vegetable oil in it is from coconut. That alone made my mouth water.
The chocolate does not taste exactly like Kona Coffee, however there is enough Kona Coffee flavor to make it taste different/better than regular chocolate.
Every now and then you may get one that has gone bad (the nut). If you’ve never tasted a bad nut, believe me you will know it. I recommend eating one at a time, so you can spit a bad one out without wasting a lot.

Recently I got these same chocolate covered macadamia nuts in a tin that is bigger then the jar. Everything on the labels are the same; same brand, same flavor( Kona Coffee Dark Chocolate),etc. but there is a noticeable difference in the size, taste and quality.

(the left one is from the tin and the right is from the jar)
The ones from the tin are bigger, have a thicker coat of chocolate and fewer bad nuts( none so far).
Jar: 13 oz
Tin: 24 oz
