    American candy manufacturing mostly uses peanuts and/or almonds instead, so they compete but not for filberts/hazelnuts.

    I will also contend that they’re not that good a nut on their own, they need chocolate to achieve their true destiny.

      I have to downvote you on the hazelnuts not being very good. They’re one of my favorite nuts, and they look cool!

        To me they look like chickpeas wearing windbreakers, and I prefer pecans. But you are welcome to your own preferences, enjoy! I do think hazelnuts are the very best nut with chocolate, even over pecans.
