Harry Potter Peppermint Toads (Honeydukes) — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Harry Potter Peppermint Toads (Honeydukes) by Harry Potter TREAT — score 45/90.

Simple dark chocolate candy: sugar and cocoa with a peppermint twist. Indulgent, but the ingredient list is short and recognizable. Enjoy it as the treat it is.

Why this verdict

• Sugar is the #2 ingredient, this is candy
• Real dark chocolate base (52% cocoa) with simple, recognizable ingredients
• Only one emulsifier (soya lecithin), no artificial colors or flavor enhancers
• Indulgent treat, not nutrition, enjoy occasionally

Ingredients (6)

• Cocoa Mass (safe) — The cocoa solids that make it real dark chocolate; source of flavanols and the bitterness behind the 70% claim.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
• Cocoa Butter (safe) — Pure cocoa fat that gives the melt and mouthfeel; calorie-dense but a natural part of chocolate.
• Soya Lecithin (emulsifier) (moderate) — A processing aid that keeps the chocolate smooth. Common but a marker of manufactured food.
• Natural Vanilla Flavouring (safe) — Natural flavor for a rounded vanilla note; no concern.
• peppermint oil (safe) — Natural peppermint oil for the minty flavor; harmless in this amount.
