What You Should Know

You'd spot this 6 oz pack in the snacks or candy aisle or near the checkout — an easy grab for movie nights, road trips, or a sweet pick-me-up. It feels indulgent and slightly wholesome: dry-roasted almonds deliver crunch while a glossy dark chocolate coating and added sugar make it a dessert-like snack. The presence of a composite "dark chocolate coating," emulsifier (soy lecithin) and alkalized cocoa powder signals industrial processing and texture-modifying steps common in ultra-processed products.
