Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of the cocoa

- Only one emulsifier, no artificial colors or flavor enhancers
- An indulgent dessert, fine in small amounts
Ingredients (10)
- Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
- Whole roasted hazelnuts (27%) (safe) — Real nuts bring healthy fats, fiber and protein — a genuine quality ingredient, not flavoring.
- Cocoa Butter (safe) — Pure cocoa fat that gives the melt and mouthfeel; calorie-dense but a natural part of chocolate.
- Whole Milk Powder (safe) — Dried milk for creaminess; a normal dairy ingredient.
- Cocoa Mass (safe) — The cocoa solids that make it real dark chocolate; source of flavanols and the bitterness behind the 70% claim.
- Whey powder (milk) (moderate) — A cheap dairy filler/protein; common in milk chocolate.
- Lactose (milk) (moderate) — Milk sugar adding to the overall sugar load.
- Hazelnut paste (safe) — Ground real hazelnuts for flavor and creaminess — a clean ingredient.
- Emulsifier: Lecithins (Soya) (moderate) — A common, generally-safe emulsifier that keeps the texture smooth; one is fine, it's stacking them that signals engineering.
- Vanilla Extract (safe) — Real vanilla extract rather than synthetic vanillin; a small quality plus.
