Green & Black's Organic Butterscotch Milk Chocolate 37% Cocoa — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Green & Black's Organic Butterscotch Milk Chocolate 37% Cocoa by Green & Black's TREAT — score 43/90.
Simple, recognizable chocolate-bar ingredients, but sugar leads the list and it's an indulgence, not a health food.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of milk and cocoa
- Three sweetener sources stacked: cane sugar, glucose syrup, molasses
- Indulgent fat/sugar load but the ingredients themselves are simple and real
- Added palm oil in the butterscotch for cheap fat and texture
Ingredients (11)
- Raw cane sugar (concerning) — The #1 ingredient by weight; spikes blood sugar and drives the calorie load. Organic doesn't change how it hits your body.
- Whole Milk Powder (safe) — Dairy solids.
- Cocoa Mass (safe) — Real chocolate liquor.
- Cocoa Butter (safe) — The natural fat of the cacao bean.
- glucose syrup (caution) — A second refined sweetener in the caramel.
- Palm Oil (moderate) — Saturated-fat-heavy oil used in the crust.
- Butter (from milk) (moderate) — Real butter, but adds more saturated fat to an already rich bar.
- molasses (moderate) — A second sweetener for color and flavor. Minor, but it stacks on top of the sugar.
- natural flavouring (moderate) — Undefined flavour compound; 'natural' but unspecified, a minor processing marker.
- Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin) (safe) — Processing aid that signals an engineered, ultra-processed formula.
- Vanilla Extract (safe) — Real vanilla flavoring.
