⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
Its high sugar (55.74g/100g) and fat (28.57g/100g) content can contribute to blood-sugar spikes and is a consideration for those monitoring calorie or sugar intake. It contains common allergens like milk, almonds, and may have traces of other nuts. To enjoy it more mindfully, practice portion control by breaking off a single triangle, and pair it with a source of protein or fat (like a handful of nuts or a piece of cheese) to help slow sugar absorption.
