What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the natural/organic snack aisle or near checkout — a bite-sized, 'better-for-you' take on classic nut butter cups. It feels nostalgic and indulgent: a creamy almond center wrapped in dark chocolate, positioned as a healthier candy alternative. The ingredient list includes refined sugars, added inulin and emulsifiers plus processed chocolate and palm oil, which explain the smooth texture and signal industrial formulation common to ultraprocessed items.
