What to know about Smoor Almond Dark Chocolate Snaps

Caramel almond snaps in a hydrogenated-fat coating

A 60 g box of six 10 g packets. Each snap is roasted-style almond (28.6%) layered in caramel brittle (29.2%: sugar, butter, liquid glucose, salt, a raising agent) and coated in a dark compound made of sugar, hydrogenated vegetable fat, cocoa solids, emulsifiers and vanillin flavouring. It is sold as a premium treat and a gifting box.

Per 100 g it has 529 kcal, 7 g protein, 3.1 g fibre, 38.2 g added sugar and 17.3 g saturated fat. One 10 g packet is about 53 kcal, and the whole box is about 317 kcal. The packets are small, which keeps a single serve modest, but the box is easy to finish.

The name says dark chocolate, but the coating is listed as a dark compound with hydrogenated vegetable fat, and no cocoa percentage is declared. The almonds and caramel are real and at the front of the pack story. The front also says free from palm oil, though the fat is listed only as vegetable fat. CleanPlate scores it DB5.

Why Smoor Almond Dark Chocolate Snaps scores DB5

Nutrition is a D on 7 g protein and 3.1 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients reach a B on real almonds and butter, and risk is a 5 on 17.3 g saturated fat and 38.2 g added sugar per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why D

Protein is 7 g per 100 g and fibre 3.1 g, which is 0.7 g protein and 0.3 g fibre in one 10 g packet. Most of the protein comes from the coating and the almonds.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to the grade.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

The list leads with sugar in both the coating and the caramel, but it also has real butter and almonds at 28.6%, and the caramel brittle is 29.2%. That keeps the grade fairly high.

The vegetable fat in the coating is listed as hydrogenated with no partly or fully qualifier, so it is scored as a partially hydrogenated oil, which costs ingredient points. Trans fat is declared as 0.3 g per 100 g.

Nature-identical vanillin flavouring costs points, and so do the emulsifiers PGPR (476) and sorbitan tristearate (492), with lecithin (322) costing a little. Chocolate is emphasised in the name but no cocoa percentage is declared, which costs a further small label point.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 5

Saturated fat is the biggest driver: 17.3 g per 100 g, more than three times the 5 g high line. Added sugar is next at 38.2 g per 100 g.

Energy at 529 kcal per 100 g and trans fat at 0.3 g add to it, while sodium at 123 mg per 100 g plays a small part. One packet has about 1.7 g saturated fat and 3.8 g added sugar.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Smoor Almond Dark Chocolate Snaps live up to its claims?

The almond and caramel claims hold, with almonds at 28.6% and caramel brittle at 29.2%. The dark chocolate wording and the palm oil claim need care, since the coating is a compound with unnamed hydrogenated fat.

  • Product name

    “Almond Snaps”

    Holds

    Almond is 28.6% of the snap, and caramel brittle is another 29.2%, so the name describes what is inside.

  • Product name

    “Almond Dark Chocolate Snaps”

    Be careful

    The coating is listed as a dark compound of sugar, hydrogenated vegetable fat and cocoa solids. No cocoa percentage is declared, so how much chocolate it holds is unknown.

  • On the pack

    “Roasted almonds layered in caramel”

    Holds

    Almonds at 28.6% and a butter caramel brittle at 29.2% are both in the list.

  • On the pack

    “Free from palm oil”

    Be careful

    No palm oil is named, but the fat is listed only as edible vegetable fat (hydrogenated), so its source is not stated. It is still a hydrogenated fat.

What's in Smoor Almond Dark Chocolate Snaps?

Sugar, hydrogenated vegetable fat and cocoa solids make the coating, with butter caramel and almonds inside. Watch the hydrogenated fat, the saturated fat and the added sugar.

The ingredient list, read for you

The coating leads with sugar, then hydrogenated vegetable fat and cocoa solids, with emulsifiers (492, 322, 476), salt and vanillin flavouring. Inside is a caramel brittle (29.2%) of sugar, butter, liquid glucose, salt and a raising agent, plus almonds at 28.6%.

Sugar is the first ingredient in both the coating and the caramel, so sweetness is the main job of the recipe. The emulsifiers keep the coating smooth and the fat from separating.
