How many calories are in a Butterfinger?
One standard Butterfinger bar weighs 2.1 oz (60 g) and carries 275 calories. Per 100 g the bar runs 459 calories, which puts it inside the same narrow band as almost every filled chocolate bar sold next to it. The flaky peanut butter core does not make it lighter than nougat. It makes it crunchier.
You'd need to walk about 55 minutes to burn the 275 calories in one 2.1 oz bar (60 g).

Butterfinger quick facts
The record behind every number on this page is SR Legacy 167565, "Candies, NESTLE, BUTTERFINGER Bar". That is the bar itself, chocolate coating plus the layered peanut butter center, which is exactly the thing in the wrapper when someone stops to look it up. Its 2.1 oz (60 g) size is also the serving printed on the single-bar label, so the household measure and the lab record line up for once.

There is no added sugars row above because the SR Legacy edition of this bar does not carry that field at all, and a Daily Value invented from total sugars would be a guess. Cholesterol is 0 mg, so the bar sits at 0% there. Potassium comes to 132 mg per bar, 3% of the FDA Daily Value, which is a rounding error next to the fat and sugar rows.
The sodium is worth one sentence: 138 mg per bar is roughly a sixteenth of a teaspoon of table salt, which nobody tastes through the sugar.
Butterfinger servings from fun size to king size
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 fun size bar, 0.65 oz | 18 g | 83 kcal |
| 10 Butterfinger BB's | 26 g | 119 kcal |
| 1 oz | 28 g | 129 kcal |
| One bar, 2.1 oz | 60 g | 275 kcal |
| 1 king size bar | 108 g | 496 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 459 kcal |
The fun size bar, the 2.1 oz bar, the king size bar and the ten-piece BB's count are all USDA household portions attached to record 167565. The 1 oz line is our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not a USDA serving, and it exists because bulk bags get weighed rather than counted.
Notice how little the per-gram number matters here. Every row above is the same 459 calories per 100 g. The only variable is how much chocolate the wrapper holds, and that swings the answer from 83 to 496.
Fun size king size and the bite formats
| Size | Weight | Per 100 g | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fun size bar | 18 g | 459 kcal | 83 kcal |
| Standard bar, 2.1 oz | 60 g | 459 kcal | 275 kcal |
| King size bar | 108 g | 459 kcal | 496 kcal |
| 10 Butterfinger BB's | 26 g | 459 kcal | 119 kcal |
A king size bar is six times a fun size bar, 496 calories against 83, for identical candy. That ratio is the single most useful thing on this page. Trick-or-treat bars are genuinely small, and three of them still land under one standard bar at 249 calories, scaled from the USDA 100 g figure.
The multipack labels tell the same story from the other side. Fun size bags print their serving as two bars, 37 g, at 170 calories, and one bag version lists 36 g at 472 calories per 100 g for the same 170 per serving. Two bars is the portion the package suggests. Most people take the bag.
BB's are the format that gets away from you. Ten pieces are 26 g and 119 calories, which sounds harmless, but a full cup holds about 174 g, or roughly 799 calories by our arithmetic from the 100 g figure. That is nearly three bars, poured rather than unwrapped.
Butterfinger Crisp Bits and Pieces
| Version | Per 100 g | Typical serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Butterfinger Crisp | 465 kcal | one piece, 60 g | 279 kcal |
| Butterfinger Bits, topping | 533 kcal | 1 2/3 tbsp, 15 g | 80 kcal |
| Butterfinger Pieces, topping | 467 kcal | 1 tbsp, 15 g | 70 kcal |
Butterfinger Crisp swaps the flaky center for a wafer, and the calories barely move: 465 per 100 g against 459 for the classic bar. Sodium is where the two records split. The Crisp carries 13 mg per 100 g, so a 60 g piece holds about 8 mg by our own scaling, against 138 mg in the standard bar. Same brand, seventeen times the sodium in one of them.
The toppings are denser than the bar they came from. Butterfinger Bits run 533 calories per 100 g, because the chocolate coating is thinner and the candy core is more concentrated. A tablespoon and two thirds is 80 calories on top of ice cream, and a heavy hand doubles that without looking like much. Butterfinger Pieces sit at 467 per 100 g, 70 calories per tablespoon. Bar-based candy inside milk chocolate, sold as a 4-piece (32 g) serving, comes to 160 calories at 500 per 100 g.
Saturated fat outruns the calories
One bar is 275 calories, about 14% of a 2,000-calorie day. The same bar is 5.7 g of saturated fat, 29% of the Daily Value. The saturated fat share is more than double the calorie share, which is unusual for candy this sweet and comes from the palm and coconut fats in the coating.
Scale that up and it gets pointed. A king size bar carries about 10.3 g of saturated fat, near 51% of the Daily Value, from one wrapper, by our own scaling from the USDA 100 g figure. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans put saturated fat under 10% of daily calories, which is roughly 22 g on a 2,000-calorie day. One king size bar spends about half of that allowance before dinner.
Protein does not rescue it. The peanut butter center reads like protein and delivers 3.2 g per bar, 6% of the Daily Value, next to 43.7 g of carbohydrate. Fiber is 1.2 g, 4%. If a bar is standing in for an afternoon snack, MyPlate would put a handful of plain peanuts in the same calorie range with several times the protein. If it is dessert, it is dessert, and the fun size bar does the job at 83 calories.
How does a Butterfinger compare?
| Bar | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Butterfinger | 459 kcal | one bar, 2.1 oz (60 g) | 275 kcal |
| OH HENRY! | 462 kcal | one bar, 2 oz (57 g) | 263 kcal |
| MILKY WAY | 456 kcal | one bar, 2.05 oz (58 g) | 264 kcal |
| Caramello | 462 kcal | one bar, 1.25 oz (35 g) | 162 kcal |
The three per-serving numbers for the other bars are our arithmetic from their USDA 100 g figures and their standard bar weights, not USDA servings.
Our take: stop shopping by recipe. All four bars sit between 456 and 462 calories per 100 g, a spread of six calories, so the peanut butter core, the nougat and the caramel are interchangeable at the calorie level. Caramello looks like the diet option at 162 calories only because its bar is 35 g. Butterfinger tops the table at 275 because its bar is the heaviest of the four. For cutting calories, buy the smaller wrapper. For the most satisfying bar per calorie, the standard Butterfinger holds up, since the flaky center takes longer to eat than nougat does.

Butterfinger FAQs
How many calories are in a Butterfinger bar?
A standard 2.1 oz bar (60 g) is 275 calories, at 459 calories per 100 g. That is about 14% of a 2,000-calorie day. The same bar brings 43.7 g of carbohydrate, 27.5 g of it sugars, and 3.2 g of protein, so it eats like dessert rather than a snack.
How many calories are in a fun size Butterfinger?
A fun size bar is 0.65 oz (18 g) and 83 calories. Two of them, the serving printed on most multipacks, come to 170 calories. The candy is the same recipe at 459 calories per 100 g, so the wrapper size is doing all of the work here.
How many calories are in a king size Butterfinger?
A king size bar weighs 108 g and carries 496 calories, six times the fun size bar. It also brings about 10.3 g of saturated fat, roughly 51% of the FDA Daily Value, scaled from the USDA 100 g figure. That row moves faster than the calorie row.
How much sugar is in a Butterfinger?
A 2.1 oz bar holds 27.5 g of total sugars, from 45.9 g per 100 g. That is more than half of the bar's 43.7 g of carbohydrate. The USDA SR Legacy record does not break out added sugars for this bar, so no added-sugars Daily Value is shown on this page.
How much protein is in a Butterfinger?
One bar gives 3.2 g of protein, 6% of the Daily Value, despite the peanut butter center. Per 100 g that is 5.4 g. Fat and sugar carry the calories instead, at 18.9 g of fat and 45.9 g of sugars per 100 g, with only 2 g of fiber.
How many calories are in Butterfinger BB's?
Ten BB's weigh 26 g and come to 119 calories. A full cup runs about 174 g, or roughly 799 calories by our arithmetic from the 459 per 100 g figure, which is nearly three standard bars. Poured candy is the format that gets away from people.
How many Butterfinger bites equal one full bar?
About 23 BB's match one 2.1 oz bar. Ten pieces weigh 26 g and the bar weighs 60 g, so 275 calories lands near 23 pieces. That is our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not a USDA serving. Ten pieces on their own are 119 calories.
Butterfinger or Milky Way, which has fewer calories?
Milky Way is lighter per gram at 456 calories per 100 g against Butterfinger's 459, a difference of three. Per bar Milky Way wins by more, 264 calories for 58 g against 275 for 60 g, and that gap is bar weight rather than recipe.
