Dark Milk Chocolate — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Dark Milk Chocolate by Tesco TREAT — score 45/90.
Four ingredients, and sugar is listed last — in the chocolate world that's practically monastic. At 48% cocoa this 'dark milk' bar earns its name honestly: real cocoa mass, real milk, no palm oil, no emulsifier padding. Still candy, but candy made the way candy should be made.
Why this verdict
- Just four ingredients — dried whole milk, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, sugar — with no lecithin, palm oil, or artificial flavors
- Sugar appears last on the list, meaning cocoa and milk genuinely dominate the formula (48% cocoa solids vs ~25% in typical milk chocolate)
- Cocoa butter is the only fat — no cheap vegetable fat substitutions
- Still a sugar-and-saturated-fat indulgence at heart — around 530 kcal per 100g keeps it firmly in treat territory
