✦ Very high sugar (~57g/100g)
✦ High saturated fat from palm oil
✦ Contains hazelnuts but not a nut-butter equivalent
✦ Modest calcium and protein
Chocolate nut spread is a sweet paste made primarily from sugar and palm oil, with hazelnuts (typically ~13%), cocoa, skimmed milk powder, and emulsifiers. It is very high in sugar (~57g/100g) and saturated fat from palm oil, and while it contains some protein and calcium, these are present in modest amounts. It is not nutritionally equivalent to nut butter despite containing nuts.

Preparation note
Use sparingly as a spread — a standard serving (15g/one tablespoon) contains about 80 kcal and 8g sugar. For a more nutritious alternative, choose 100% nut butter with no added sugar or oil.
