Chikki — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Chikki by paper boat TREAT — score 45/90.

Old-school peanut brittle: just peanuts, jaggery and glucose syrup. Genuinely simple, but it's roughly half sugar by weight, so it's an indulgence, not a health snack.

Why this verdict

• Two added sweeteners (jaggery + liquid glucose) push it to ~45g sugar per 100g
• Sugar weight nearly rivals the peanuts despite the 50% peanut claim
• Calorie-dense at ~500 kcal/100g from sugar plus peanut fat
• Saving grace: short, recognizable ingredient list with no additives or colors

Ingredients (3)

• Peanuts (50%) (safe) — Whole peanuts supply protein, healthy fats and antioxidants; the one genuinely nutritious part of the bar.
• Jaggery sugar (moderate) — Less refined than white sugar but still mostly sucrose; a major added-sugar source here.
• Liquid glucose (concerning) — A second refined sweetener; rapidly absorbed sugar that adds to the glycemic hit.
