Name: Favorite Day Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds
Brand: Favorite Day

Munch or Dump rates Favorite Day Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds by Favorite Day TREAT — score 43/90.

A straightforward chocolate-and-almond candy. Real almonds and cocoa do the heavy lifting, and there are no artificial colors or flavors, but it is still sweetened with both sugar and corn syrup and finished with a few candy-shell additives. Enjoy it as the treat it is.

Why this verdict

Indulgent confection built on real chocolate and whole almonds
No artificial colors or flavors in the formula
Two added sweeteners stacked — sugar plus corn syrup
Candy-shell additives (gum arabic, modified corn starch, confectioner's glaze) keep it in treat territory

Ingredients (10)

semisweet chocolate (moderate) — Real cocoa-based chocolate; sweet but contributes cocoa antioxidants.
Almonds (safe) — Whole nut, healthy fats, protein, fiber, and vitamin E.
Sugar (moderate) — Small added sweetener to balance acidity; minor at salsa portions.
Corn Syrup (caution) — Second ingredient; a refined liquid sugar that binds the bar and drives the sugar total up.
Cocoa Butter (safe) — The natural fat of the cacao bean.
MILK FAT (safe) — Dairy fat that softens the chocolate.
Soy Lecithin (safe) — Emulsifier in the chocolate chips; common and low concern.
Confectioners glaze (shellac) (moderate) — Insect-derived polish for the candy shell.
Modified Corn Starch (moderate) — Industrial thickener used twice, in both the sauce and the chicken.
Coconut Oil (safe) — Plant fat used for the shell coating.
