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 sugar in the breadcrumb — one of two distinct sweeteners in the list.
- Organic cocoa butter (moderate) — Whole-food cocoa fat, high in saturated fat.
- milk powder (moderate) — Dried milk adds creaminess and some protein and calcium, but also milk sugars.
- Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
- Rye sourdough breadcrumb (rye, wheat) (safe) — Actual baked rye/wheat crumb for crunch — a real food, not a filler additive.
