About DARK CHOCOLATE SEA SALT CARAMEL CRISP RICE MARSHMALLOW BITES, DARK CHOCOLATE SEA SALT CARAMEL

Archer Farms Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Crisp Rice Marshmallow Bites is a complex multi-layer confection from Target's Archer Farms brand, combining dark chocolate, salted caramel, marshmallow creme, crisp rice, and white chocolate in a cluster or bar-bite format. The dark chocolate uses Dutch-process alkalized chocolate liquor with milk fat and soy lecithin. The caramel contains corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk with carrageenan and vitamin D3, palm oil, and caramel color, contributing multiple dairy components.

The crisp rice component importantly contains partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (cottonseed and soybean) — a source of industrially produced trans fatty acids. As of June 2018, the FDA eliminated the GRAS status of partially hydrogenated oils, and manufacturers were required to remove PHOs from products. This SKU's presence of PHOs likely reflects a pre-2018 or transitional-era formulation still in the USDA database. Consumers should check current product packaging for updated formulations.

At approximately 442 calories per 100 grams with 62.8 grams of carbohydrates, 23.3 grams of fat, 2.3 grams of protein, and 2.3 grams of dietary fiber, this is a moderately calorie-dense confection. Allergens: dairy (throughout multiple components), soy (lecithin), eggs (egg whites in marshmallow creme). Gelatin in the marshmallow is animal-derived (non-vegan). Vanillin (artificial vanilla) is used in the marshmallow creme. Blue 1 artificial color is present in the marshmallow creme. This product is not suitable for those with dairy, egg, or soy allergies, and the PHO declaration is a significant formulation flag.
