The snack size cuts a bar down to 91 calories
A full-size bar weighs 49 g and carries 235 calories, about 12% of the daily value for calories. The snack size at 19 g lands at 91 calories, or 5% of the day. That gap is the single biggest lever you have with candy, because the recipe stays the same and only the wrapper changes.
Totals climb fast once bars stack up. Two full-size bars reach 469 calories, three hit 704, and five come to 1,174. That last figure is more than half of the daily calorie value from candy alone, and it still adds up to only 10.1 g of protein.
If you like something sweet after lunch, the snack size is the honest compromise. You get the same chocolate and coconut taste for well under half the calories of a full bar. Keep a few in the drawer instead of a multipack of full-size bars and the math works in your favor.
Fat and sugar split the calories almost evenly
Per 100 g this bar holds 26.9 g of fat and 59.5 g of carbs, against just 4.1 g of protein. In calorie terms fat is 49% of the total, carbs 48%, and protein a token 3%. That is the classic candy profile: dense, quick energy with almost nothing that keeps you full for long.
Most of the carbs are sugar. Sugars make up 48.3 g of the 59.5 g of carbs per 100 g, which leaves little room for starch. Fiber is a modest bright spot at 5 g per 100 g, or 2.5 g in a full bar, likely helped by the coconut filling.
The fat side is where the coconut shows. Saturated fat reaches 17.6 g per 100 g, which sits close to the 20 g daily value used on this page. A single full bar carries 13.2 g of total fat, so it eats into a fat budget faster than its size suggests.
Sugar is the row to watch, not sodium
A full-size bar carries 23.7 g of sugars, and the snack size carries 9.2 g. Per 100 g that rises to 48.3 g, meaning nearly half the bar's weight is sugar. If you track added sugar, this is the number to log first.
Sodium, by contrast, is a non-issue here. A full bar has 70 mg, just 3% of the daily value, and the snack size has 27 mg, or 1%. Even the 100 g amount stays at 142 mg. Salty snacks like chips are the ones that push sodium; this bar pushes sugar and saturated fat instead.
Cholesterol is also low at 4 mg per 100 g, and potassium shows up at 254 mg per 100 g. Neither changes the picture much. The bar's profile comes down to two rows: sugars and saturated fat.
A bar fits best as a planned treat
With only 2 g of protein, a full bar covers 4% of the 50 g protein daily value. That is why it rarely holds you until the next meal. If you have the bar after a meal rather than instead of one, it lands on a stomach that already has protein and fiber, and it is easier to stop at one.
Pairing helps on its own too. A glass of milk, a handful of nuts or some Greek yogurt alongside a snack-size bar adds protein that the candy lacks. The bar brings the flavor; the pairing brings the staying power.
Logging matters more for candy than for most foods, because bars disappear in a few bites and are easy to forget by evening. BodyPal can log a candy bar from a photo, so the 235 or 91 calories land in your day before the wrapper hits the trash.
How does candy bar compare?
Here is how this coconut milk chocolate bar compares with a plain chocolate bar, a Snickers bar and a crunch bar, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: For the fewest calories per wrapper, pick the plain chocolate bar at 223 per 42 g bar, or this bar's snack size at 91; the plain chocolate bar is denser at 531 per 100 g, so its smaller size is doing the work. For staying full, the Snickers bar wins with 7.5 g of protein per 100 g against 4.1 g here, but it costs 280 calories per 57 g bar and carries 239 mg of sodium per 100 g.
