What You Should Know

You'd find these UNREAL dark chocolate almond butter cups in the snack or natural/organic candy aisle or on an impulse rack at checkout—small individually wrapped cups that evoke classic candy nostalgia. The product feels indulgent and 'better-for-you' with almonds and organic ingredients, but the smooth, uniform texture and presence of emulsifiers, added sugars and oils point to industrial reformulation. Those cues are typical of a packaged, highly processed confection rather than a whole-food snack.
