Our take
CleanPlate reviewSugar and glucose syrup outweigh the peanuts
Snickers Peanut Brownie is a chocolate-filled bar: milk chocolate (35%) wraps a centre of liquid glucose, peanuts (13%), sugar, cocoa solids (9.6%), milk solids and vegetable fats including palm and sesame oil.
CleanPlate scores it EB5. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 7.3 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by milk chocolate, liquid glucose and peanuts), with additives that cost points: flavouring. The 5 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (44.6 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (12.7 g per 100 g).

Common misconceptions
Myth: "Peanuts make it a protein snack"
The bar has 7.3 g of protein per 100 g, about 3.3 g in a 45 g bar, next to 20 g of added sugar.
Myth: "A chocolate bar is a quick energy fix"
The energy comes with 20 g of added sugar, which is why hunger often returns quickly.
