Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate with Whole Hazelnuts — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate with Whole Hazelnuts by Ritter Sport TREAT — score 45/90.
A simple, short-ingredient dark chocolate bar, but sugar is the #1 ingredient — this is an indulgence, not a health food.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the first ingredient, ahead of cocoa and hazelnuts
- Sugar- and fat-heavy: ~37g sugar and 41g fat per 100g
- Short, simple list — only one emulsifier and no artificial additives
- Whole hazelnuts and 50% cocoa add real fat, fiber, and antioxidants
Ingredients (7)
- Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
- Cocoa mass (chocolate liquor) (safe) — Ground cocoa beans — the real chocolate, carrying flavanols and fiber.
- HAZELNUTS (safe) — A genuine whole-food source of healthy fats — but a minority ingredient here, behind sugar and oil.
- Cocoa Butter (moderate) — Natural cocoa fat; fine in small amounts but adds to a heavy saturated-fat load.
- Concentrated butter (milk) (moderate) — Dairy butterfat — adds saturated fat and creaminess.
- Soy Lecithin (safe) — Common emulsifier, generally benign in these amounts.
- Natural flavor (moderate) — A vague regulatory catch-all that can hide a range of processing aids; not transparent, so it loses points.
