What You Should Know

You'll spot these two-bite brownie snack packs tucked in the store's snack or bakery aisle and often grabbed at checkout for lunchboxes, movie nights, or quick treats. They feel indulgent and nostalgic — a mini comfort dessert — but the moist, uniform texture and long shelf convenience come from industrial ingredients and formulations like invert sugar, emulsifiers, processed cocoa, and prepared leavening. The ingredient list (mono- and diglycerides, natural flavors, leavening blends) and ready-to-eat packaging point to a highly processed product.

Common Questions about 365 by Whole Foods Market, Two Bite Brownies, Snack Pack, 2.5 Ounce

Well, that depends on your definition of healthy! These brownies are made with organic ingredients and no artificial sweeteners or preservatives, which is a plus. However, they do pack a punch with 25 grams of sugar per serving, so if you're watching your sugar intake, you might want to enjoy these as an occasional treat rather than a daily staple.
