About DARK CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES, DARK CHOCOLATE COVERED

This product belongs to the snack candy category and consists of dried cherries enrobed in a dark chocolate shell, finished with a confectioner's glaze.

The primary ingredients by weight are dark chocolate and dried cherries. The dark chocolate component is formulated with sugar, alkali-processed chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, milkfat from milk, soy lecithin as an emulsifier, and vanilla. The dried cherries are prepared with added sugar and sunflower oil. Additional binding and finishing agents include corn syrup, modified tapioca starch, and confectioner's glaze. Soy lecithin is present as an allergen (soy), and milkfat introduces a dairy allergen.

The macronutrient breakdown shows 65 g of carbohydrates, 20 g of total fat, and 5 g of protein per 100 g. Fiber content is notably high at 10 g per 100 g, partly attributable to cocoa solids and the dried fruit component. The serving size is listed as 40 g.

The high fiber content relative to total carbohydrates may be of interest to those monitoring net carbohydrate intake, though added sugars from both the chocolate coating and the sweetened dried cherries contribute substantially to overall sugar load.
