What You Should Know

You'd spot these bite-sized organic cocoa and peanut butter balls in the natural snacks aisle or the grab-and-go section—handy for lunchboxes, road trips, or a movie-night treat. They feel indulgent and a little nostalgic, trading on peanut-butter-and-cocoa comfort while wearing an organic/healthful label. The mix of processed cereal flours, added cane sugar and seed oil, plus ingredients like "natural flavor" and added fiber/preservatives signals industrial manufacturing and a uniform crunchy-chewy texture typical of ultra-processed snacks.
