Assorted Pralines Chocolates — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Assorted Pralines Chocolates by Maitre Truffout ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

Sugar is the #1 ingredient, backed by five more sweeteners and palm fat. This is engineered sweetness dressed up as an Austrian luxury gift.

Why this verdict

• Sugar is the very first ingredient, ahead of any cocoa
• Six distinct sweeteners: sugar, glucose syrup, caramel sugar syrup, lactose, dextrose, glucose-fructose syrup
• Hyper-palatable triad: added sugar + refined oil (palm fat) + refined starch
• Cocoa mass ranks below the starches and sugars
• Ultra-processed (NOVA 4)

Ingredients (19)

• Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
• wheat starch (moderate) — A refined starch used as a texture filler. Empty refined carbohydrate, part of the stacked-starch problem here.
• Whole Soya Flour (moderate) — Cheap protein/bulk filler. Not harmful, but signals a formulated product, not real chocolate.
• glucose syrup (concerning) — A second refined sweetener layered on top of the sugar — pure fast carbs.
• Cocoa Butter (moderate) — Natural cocoa fat; fine in small amounts but adds to a heavy saturated-fat load.
• palm fat (moderate) — Refined saturated fat; second processed fat in the formula.
• Caramel Sugar Syrup (concerning) — A third sweetener source — more added sugar for color and taste
• Whole Milk Powder (safe) — The actual 'milk' the name leans on — only 8%, ranked behind two sweeteners and a fake creamer.
• Lactose (moderate) — Milk sugar — yet another sweetener source adding to the sugar load.
• Cocoa Mass (safe) — Actual cocoa solids — the legitimate chocolate component.
• Dextrose (concerning) — A second added sugar (pure glucose) that hits the bloodstream even faster than sucrose.
• Peanuts (safe) — Whole nut with protein and healthy fats; common allergen.
• HAZELNUTS (safe) — A genuine whole-food source of healthy fats — but a minority ingredient here, behind sugar and oil.
• glucose-fructose syrup (concerning) — Industrial liquid sweetener (HFCS-style); a second fast-sugar source layered on the first.
• Sunflower Lecithin (safe) — Emulsifier to bind fat and sugar; sunflower-derived and generally benign.
• Invertase (safe) — An enzyme used to keep fillings soft. Functionally inert in the body.
• Soya Bean Oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil added as extra fat.
• rice flour (moderate) — Another refined starch with little fibre or nutrition.
• Artificial Flavor) (moderate) — Lab-made flavoring with no nutritional value — out of place in a 'finest ingredients' bar.
