The catch

Even though super dark sounds virtuous, one small cup carries 5g of added sugar and 4g of saturated fat, and eating the whole pack of six adds up to 30g of added sugar. (source)

The honest take

This is a genuinely simple, USDA organic candy, and the ingredient list is short and recognizable with organic dark chocolate, almonds, real roasted coffee, and sea salt. Each small 20g cup is 120 calories with 5g of added sugar and 4g of saturated fat, so the espresso kick and cleaner sourcing are real, but this is still a treat and not a health food. The dark chocolate leans bitter and low in sugar for the category, which is why it earns its spot over a standard candy cup. Worth knowing it uses organic palm oil, a tropical oil some shoppers prefer to avoid.
