WHY IT'S NOT KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Extremely high net carbs (~71g/100g) from sugar—not compatible with ketosis
  • Even a small handful can exceed a strict 20–30g daily carb target
  • Added sugars and syrups are rapidly absorbed, spiking glucose/insulin
  • Hyper-palatable candy may trigger cravings and overeating
  • Better options: dark-chocolate-85 or sugar-free-chocolate in measured portions

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Primarily a confection with minimal nutrient density; enjoy only as an off-plan treat if not doing keto

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

KETO SWAP

Replace with a square of dark-chocolate-85 and a few almonds or macadamia-nuts for a lower-carb treat.
