What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the cookie or confection aisle, in gift boxes, or as an impulse grab at checkout — a portable, individually wrapped indulgence. It reads indulgent and slightly nostalgic, promising a crunchy wafer and creamy chocolate-hazelnut bite. The long ingredient list (emulsifiers, coconut oil, raising agents and refined sugars) and uniform texture point to industrial formulation and ultra-processed manufacturing.
