Showing the top 28 of the 28 Dunnes Stores chocolate products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.

What Dunnes Stores's chocolate looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 28 Dunnes Stores chocolate products with usable figures is 1.2g of protein per 100 calories. That is level with the 1.3g median for chocolate across all 2,031 products in the database, chains and name brands together.

Not one of them clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the five chains carrying enough chocolate to compare, Dunnes Stores comes third, behind Aldi on 1.4g.

The best Dunnes Stores option here reaches 1.8g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider chocolate group something reaches 16g, so Dunnes Stores is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 108 to 551 per 100g across the Dunnes Stores chocolate range, a 5-fold spread, so “Dunnes Stores chocolate” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Dunnes Stores

Nothing here is a protein food, so treat it as calories. At a median of 1.2g of protein per 100 calories this group is a taste and energy decision, not a macro one.

22 of the 28 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Chocolate across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Dunnes Stores sells is the other half of the comparison.

This is the aisle that quietly wrecks a calorie target, which is the whole point of where the calories actually hide.
