What You Should Know

You'd spot these in the candy/snack aisle or at the checkout—small packs that get grabbed for movie nights, road trips, or a sweet desk treat. They deliver a nostalgic, indulgent peanut-butter-cup vibe while being marketed as a slightly "better-for-you" option because of almonds and organic ingredients. The smooth, creamy texture and long shelf life come from refined sugars, emulsifiers and concentrated plant fats—hallmarks of industrial reformulation and ultra-processing.
