Chocolate Ecstasy Brownie Mix — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Chocolate Ecstasy Brownie Mix by Rabbit Greek DUMP — score 17/90.

Sugar is the very first ingredient and shows up again in the white chips, riding on refined flour and palm/palm-kernel oils. It's a dessert mix engineered for cravings, not a food with any nutritional upside.

Why this verdict

• Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of flour and cocoa
• A second sugar source hides in the white chips
• Refined enriched flour, not whole grain
• Palm kernel oil + palm oil are cheap refined confectionery fats
• Hyper-palatable sugar + refined oil + refined starch combo

Ingredients (9)

• Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
• Unbleached enriched wheat flour (moderate) — Refined white flour; the base of the product. Fast-digesting starch with the bran and germ removed.
• Cocoa (safe) — Provides the chocolate note; present as 'a hint,' well below sugar and oil.
• White confectionery baking chips (concerning) — Engineered sweet chips built on sugar and palm kernel oil — a second sugar hit plus refined fat.
• Palm Kernel Oil (moderate) — Extremely saturated tropical fat used for the fudge coating's snap.
• Palm Oil (moderate) — Saturated-fat-heavy oil used in the crust.
• NONFAT MILK POWDER (safe) — Dried dairy used in the chips; neutral filler/protein source.
• Whole Milk Powder (safe) — Dairy solids.
• Whey Powder (safe) — Dairy-derived milk solid for flavor and browning.
