How much does an original butter finger weigh in grams?

Answer 1

OverviewThe Nestle Butterfinger is a popular candy that contains peanut butter and chocolate combined in a "crunchety," "crispety" chocolate bar. The Nestle website describes it as a peanut butter blend with sugar candy that is covered in chocolate. Introduced in 1928 by the Curtiss Candy Company, the Butterfinger was named through a competition and is named after the term used for athletes who could not keep a grip on a Baseball or football. Varieties and Serving SizesAccording to Nestle USA's website, Butterfingers are sold in original, Snackerz and Crisp flavors. The original Butterfinger is also sold in king size, giant with Butterfinger bits mixed into a chocolate bar, fun size, minis, snack packs, eight-packs and crunched into Frozen Yogurt with Breyer's Frozen Yogurt. The Snackerz flavor is sold in king size and fun size in addition to the single-serving size. Crisp flavors contain wafers and are sold as single-serving bars, in eight-packs and as mini sizes. The single-serving bar weighs in at a generous 60 g. The fun and mini size bars vary in serving size, with a range from 15 to 33 g. For the Snackerz flavor fun size, the serving size is two pouches, or 33 g.

Calories The Nestle USA website lists the various caloric values of the Butterfinger bars based on flavor and package size. The original flavor Butterfinger 60 g bar provides 270 calories. The Snackerz Butterfinger pouch of pieces, weighing just 36 g, provides 170 calories. The Crisp Butterfinger 60 g bar has 270 calories. If you select the fun or mini sizes, and eat only one 20 g bite, you will eat only 75 to 100 calories, depending on the flavor you select. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends consuming between 2,000 and 2,8000 calories per day, depending on your age, gender and activity level, and one candy bar provides more than 10 percent of your daily needs.

FatThe original flavor Butterfinger provides 100 g fat per 60 g bar. The Snackerz bars provide 70 g fat per 36 g pouch. The Crisp flavor provides 100 g fat per 60 g bar as well. The Nestle Canada website shows that the fat is likely from the peanuts, soy lecithin and hydrogenated palm kernel oils. Milk solids and whey powder may also contribute some of the fat. SugarThe 60 g original single-serving Butterfinger bar provides 29 g sugar, the Nestle USA website shows. Fifteen grams of sugar are in one pouch of the Snackerz Butterfingers. The Butterfinger Crisp also provides 29 g sugar. Sugar, glucose, molasses and cocoa powder are the likely sources of the sugar. Glucose and sugar are the first ingredients of the Butterfinger chocolate bars, the Nestle Canada website shows. ConsiderationsButterfinger bars are indulgent candies that provide calories, fat and sugar but offer very little nutritional value. Foods that offer mostly calories are considered "discretionary" foods by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and should be enjoyed only occasionally. If most of your calories come from such nutrient-empty sources, you may have a hard time meeting your nutrient needs without gaining weight. Sugar can also contribute to the development of dental caries or cavities.

Answer 2

One candy bar equals 60 grams. 2 bars would equal 120 grams.
