5 Star Hazelnut Bar, 1.8 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this 1.8 oz bar on the candy aisle or checkout endcap — an impulse pick for a quick sweet fix at the end of the day or on a road trip. It feels indulgent and slightly nostalgic, offering creamy chocolate, nutty paste and crunchy wheat flakes for contrast. The ingredient list (hazelnut paste, processed chocolate with emulsifiers, added sugars, dextrose and reconstituted dairy powders) and composite components point to industrial formulation and a shelf-stable, highly processed texture typical of ultraprocessed snacks.
