Snickers Chocolate Candy Bar, 1.86 oz — DUMP

Name: Snickers Chocolate Candy Bar, 1.86 oz
Brand: Snickers

Munch or Dump rates Snickers Chocolate Candy Bar, 1.86 oz by Snickers DUMP — score 20/90.

Snickers is a genuinely tasty candy bar, and it is candy first — sugar, corn syrup, and milk-chocolate sugar stacked with peanuts and a caramel nougat. The label also lists partially hydrogenated soybean oil, i.e. trans fat, which is an automatic dump regardless of anything else. The peanuts add a little protein but do not rescue it.

Why this verdict

Label lists partially hydrogenated soybean oil — trans fat, the one fat with no safe intake level (automatic DUMP)
At least three sugar sources stacked: added sugar, corn syrup, and the sugar/lactose in the milk chocolate
Peanuts and a bit of milk protein are the only redeeming parts of an otherwise candy-first bar
NOVA 4 ultra-processed confection — fine as an occasional treat, not a snack you reach for daily
