Chocolate Rye Crumb Milk & Sea Salt — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Chocolate Rye Crumb Milk & Sea Salt by Pump Street Bakery TREAT — score 45/90.

A genuinely clean craft chocolate bar — real cocoa, cane sugar, milk and a little rye crumb, no additives. It's still a sugar-and-fat indulgence, so enjoy it as a treat.

Why this verdict

• Sugar is the #2 ingredient — this is a sweet indulgence, not a snack
• Rich in cocoa butter fat, so it's calorie-dense
• Upside: only six simple ingredients and no additives or emulsifiers
• Real cocoa and milk, not lab-built flavor — an honest treat

Ingredients (6)

• Cocoa beans (safe) — Whole cocoa, source of flavanols and the backbone of real chocolate.
• Cane Sugar (moderate) — Added sweetener. Small amount but unnecessary in a savory spread; pure peanut butters skip it entirely.
• Organic cocoa butter (safe) — Natural cocoa fat; calorie-dense but not a refined seed oil.
• milk powder (safe) — Dairy solids for creaminess; neutral nutritionally here.
• Sea Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium to the canning brine; modest amount but worth rinsing to reduce.
• Rye sourdough breadcrumb (rye, wheat) (safe) — Actual baked rye/wheat crumb for crunch — a real food, not a filler additive.
