The catch

Each 1oz serving carries 12g of added sugar, about 24 percent of the daily value, so the organic label does not make it any less of a candy. (source)

The honest take

These are essentially an organic take on chocolate covered peanut candies, and the label reads cleaner than the mainstream version: real organic dark chocolate, organic peanuts, and a candy shell colored with carrot, beet, spirulina and turmeric instead of synthetic dyes. The halo stops at the sugar line though, because one 1oz serving carries 12g of added sugar, which is 24 percent of a full day. With just 2g of protein and 160 calories per ounce, this is a treat rather than a snack that earns its keep, so reach for it when you want candy made from better ingredients, not when you want something filling.
