What You Should Know

You'd find these single-serve organic white chocolate peanut butter cups in the natural candy or snack aisle or at checkout — an easy grab-and-go sweet for movie nights or packed lunches. They read indulgent and slightly nostalgic, with an organic/healthy halo from the ingredients list despite being a candy. The creamy, shelf-stable texture and ingredients like added sugars, palm oil and emulsifiers signal industrial formulation and ultraprocessing.

Common Questions about Organic White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, 1.4 OZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective! These cups are organic and free from artificial sweeteners and preservatives, which is a plus. However, they do pack a sugar punch with 16 grams per cup, so if you're watching your sugar intake, you might want to enjoy these as an occasional treat rather than a daily snack.
