What You Should Know

You might spot this MILKBOY White Chocolate Bourbon Vanilla bar tucked in the candy aisle, a boutique chocolate display, or at the checkout as an impulse treat for movie night or a small gift. It reads as an indulgent, slightly luxurious comfort snack — creamy, sweet and a little nostalgic — and the ingredient list (refined sugar, milk powders, emulsifier) plus the smooth, uniform texture points to industrial processing typical of ultra-processed confectionery.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed
