About CANDY-COATED DARK CHOCOLATE ALMONDS, CANDY-COATED DARK CHOCOLATE

Meijer Candy-Coated Dark Chocolate Almonds are a confectionery snack sold under the Meijer private-label brand at Meijer supercenter locations across the Midwest. Meijer, Inc. is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The product consists of whole dry roasted almonds coated in dark chocolate and finished with a hard candy shell.

The dark chocolate coating is the primary ingredient by weight and is made from sugar, alkali-processed chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, soy lecithin (as an emulsifier), and vanilla. The whole dry roasted almonds form the center. Cane sugar is used as part of the outer candy shell system. The coating is finished with confectioner's glaze (shellac), carnauba wax, and beeswax — all standard glazing agents in hard-panned confectionery. Gum arabic functions as a stabilizer. Color is provided by a combination of Red 3, titanium dioxide (white), Red 40, Red 40 Lake, and Yellow 5 synthetic dyes, along with corn syrup and corn starch in the shell system.

Per 100 grams, this product provides 467 calories, 6.67 g of protein, 56.67 g of carbohydrates, 30 g of fat, and 6.7 g of dietary fiber. The fiber content is notably high, attributable to the almond component. The protein content is moderate, also from the almonds. Allergens include tree nuts (almonds), dairy (note: though not obvious in the chocolate listing, vanilla-based formulations may vary), and soy (soy lecithin). The beeswax component makes this product unsuitable for strict vegans. No wheat, eggs, or peanuts are listed. The dark chocolate coating makes this a lower-sugar confectionery option compared to milk chocolate-coated alternatives.
