High Protein Milk Chocolate Flavored Confectionery

This is a confection made primarily from cocoa solids, sugar, and milk. It is a variation of traditional chocolate, often with added protein sources to increase its protein content. The process involves mixing and conching cocoa liquor, sugar, milk solids, and protein ingredients, then tempering and molding the mixture.

Manufacturers add this confectionery to boost the protein content of snacks and baked goods. It provides a chocolate flavor and sweetness while contributing protein. It is commonly found in snack cakes, protein bars, and other "high protein" labeled food items.

This ingredient is a combination of standard confectionery ingredients and added protein. Like regular chocolate, it contains sugar and fat. The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. High intake of saturated fat, often found in chocolate, should be kept below 10% of daily calories. The FDA has not specifically evaluated this blend, but its components are generally recognized as safe when consumed in moderation.
