Common Questions about Alpine Milk Chocolate Crunchy Caramel and Sea Salt Bar, 3.5 OZ

The Milkboy Chocolate Bar can be a delightful treat, but calling it 'healthy' is a bit of a stretch. With 21 grams of sugar per serving, it's definitely on the sweeter side. Think of it as a special indulgence rather than a daily snack—great for satisfying a craving but not a substitute for a balanced diet.
