Tesco Finest Dark Chocolate — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Tesco Finest Dark Chocolate by TESCO finest TREAT — score 45/90.

A clean, simple dark chocolate bar. Cocoa comes first, sugar is the only real red flag, and there are no emulsifiers or artificial junk. Indulgent but honest.

Why this verdict

• Cocoa mass and cocoa butter lead the list, not sugar
• Only 4 ingredients, all recognizable
• Added sugar makes it an indulgence, not everyday food
• Calorie- and fat-dense by nature of chocolate
• Vague 'flavouring' is the one unspecified add-in

Ingredients (4)

• Cocoa Mass (safe) — Ground cocoa beans; the actual chocolate, carrying flavanols and minerals.
• Cocoa Butter (safe) — The natural fat of the cocoa bean; rich and calorie-dense but not an industrial oil.
• Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
• flavouring (moderate) — An unspecified flavor add-in. Not harmful, but the vagueness slightly undercuts the 'finest' premium positioning.
