Dark Chocolate Covered Peanuts, 13 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this bag in the snack or candy aisle or tucked near the register — a grab-and-go treat for movie nights, road trips, or a sweet desk snack. It gives an indulgent, slightly better-for-you vibe thanks to dark chocolate and organic ingredients on the label, but the shiny, shelf-stable coating and additives hint at industrial processing. Those ingredients (tapioca syrup, gum acacia, carnauba wax) explain the glossy texture, uniform sweetness, and extended shelf life typical of ultraprocessed snacks.

Common Questions about Dark Chocolate Covered Peanuts, 13 OZ
Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? These peanuts are coated in dark chocolate, which offers some antioxidants, and they provide a decent mix of protein and healthy fats. But if you're watching your sugar intake, keep in mind they do have 13 grams of sugar per serving, mostly from the organic cane sugar.
