How many calories are in a Ferrero Rocher?
Three Ferrero Rocher, the serving printed on the US box, come to 220 calories for 38 g. Per 100 g the gold-wrapped balls run 579 calories. One piece on its own is 74 calories, which is the number most people actually want, because almost nobody unwraps exactly three and stops there.
You'd need to walk about 44 minutes to burn the 220 calories in three pieces (38 g).

Ferrero Rocher quick facts
The record used here is the US label itself: FDC 2657806, "FINE HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE" from Ferrero U.S.A., GTIN 009800126071. That is the branded entry behind the box on the shelf, with a declared serving of three pieces at 38 g and 220 calories. Other Ferrero Rocher entries in FoodData Central exist, but they are different SKUs and different pack sizes rather than a different source, so mixing them would blur the number instead of sharpening it.

Verified nutrition data
Numbers on this page come from USDA FoodData Central, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food composition database, and from manufacturer labels where a branded product is named. Last verified September 2026. How we verify our data →
Five rows you would expect on a candy page are missing, and they are missing on purpose. FoodData Central does not carry saturated fat, dietary fiber or total sugars for this GTIN, so this page does not print them. Guessing them from a similar chocolate would be inventing numbers, and the whole point of a calorie page is that the numbers are traceable. Cholesterol and potassium are absent from the same record for the same reason.
Sodium is the one row nobody worries about here, correctly. Three pieces hold 20 mg, about 1% of the FDA Daily Value of 2,300 mg — a rounding error next to a teaspoon of table salt. Even the full 12-piece box lands at roughly 81 mg. Chocolate is not where salt sneaks into an American day.
US servings from one piece to a whole box
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 piece | 12.7 g | 74 kcal |
| 2 pieces | 25.4 g | 147 kcal |
| 1 oz | 28.3 g | 164 kcal |
| 3 pieces, the label serving | 38 g | 220 kcal |
| 12-piece box | 152.4 g | 882 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 579 kcal |
Only one line in that table is a USDA serving: three pieces at 38 g. Everything else is our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, including the 12.7 g single piece, which comes from dividing the 38 g serving by three. Some packaging rounds the individual ball to 12.5 g; at this size the difference is under one calorie and not worth arguing about.
The ounce line is worth keeping in view if you log by weight rather than by count. One ounce is 164 calories, which sits between two pieces and three — a reminder that Ferrero Rocher is dense enough that ounce-level precision changes your log by more than a whole cookie would.
A box is where the counting goes sideways. Twelve pieces are 882 calories, which is a full meal's worth of energy in a tray that takes about four minutes to work through if you are watching a movie. The 24-piece trays sold around the holidays double that arithmetic exactly, since the piece weight does not change.
Box sizes and other Ferrero packs
| Version | Per 100 g | Typical serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| One Ferrero Rocher | 579 kcal | 1 piece (12.7 g) | 74 kcal |
| Three pieces, the US label serving | 579 kcal | 3 pieces (38 g) | 220 kcal |
| 12-piece box | 579 kcal | 12 pieces (152.4 g) | 882 kcal |
| Two-piece pack, Fine Hazelnut Chocolates | 600 kcal | 2 pieces (25 g) | 150 kcal |
| Ferrero Collection assortment | 600 kcal | 3 pieces (30 g) | 180 kcal |
| Plain milk chocolate, for scale | 535 kcal | 1 bar (44 g) | 235 kcal |
Here is a detail almost no calorie page mentions. The two-piece checkout pack declares 150 calories for 25 g, while the same two pieces priced from the main record's density come to 147. That gap is rounding on the wrapper, not a different chocolate; label rules let manufacturers round energy to the nearest 10 calories once you are over 50. If your app shows 147 and the pack shows 150, both are right, and neither is worth a correction.
The rest of the Ferrero shelf clusters tightly. The imported Whole Hazelnut in Milk Chocolate entry declares 603 calories per 100 g, the Milk Chocolate SKU 605, and the Ferrero Collection assortment 600 — spreads of a few percent that come from how each label was rounded rather than from real differences in the candy. The Collection tray is the one genuine outlier in behavior, because a three-piece serving there is 30 g and 180 calories: the Raffaello and Rondnoir pieces are lighter than a Rocher, so three of them cost you 40 calories less.
Fat is the row to watch
Three pieces deliver 16.0 g of fat, 21% of the Daily Value, from a serving of just 38 g. Compare that with a standard 44 g milk chocolate bar, which carries 13.1 g of fat while weighing 6 g more. Rocher wins that contest because of what is inside it: a whole hazelnut, a wafer shell, and the chopped-nut croquante coating push fat from 29.66 g per 100 g in plain milk chocolate to 42.11 g.
That is the number that makes a box dangerous rather than the calories. Twelve pieces come to 64.2 g of fat, 82% of the Daily Value in one sitting, which is why a shared tray at a party reads very differently in a food log than the same calories from, say, rice and chicken. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans frame candy as part of the small discretionary share of a day's calories, and 882 calories is well past small for most people's budgets.
Protein is the pleasant surprise, in a limited way. Three pieces give 3.0 g and 100 g gives 7.89 g, which is respectable for a confection and comes straight from the hazelnut. It is not a reason to treat these as a snack with benefits — 3 g of protein next to 16 g of fat is not a trade anyone makes on purpose — but it does explain why a couple of pieces feel more filling than the same calories in a gummy candy.
How does Ferrero Rocher compare?
| Candy | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ferrero Rocher | 579 kcal | 3 pieces, 38 g | 220 kcal |
| Milk chocolate | 535 kcal | 1 bar, 44 g | 235 kcal |
| Milk chocolate with almonds | 526 kcal | 1 bar, 44 g | 231 kcal |
| Milk chocolate coated peanuts | 519 kcal | 10 pieces, 40 g | 208 kcal |
Our take: Ferrero Rocher is the densest candy in this table per 100 g at 579 calories, ahead of all three USDA chocolate records, yet its serving lands third of four at 220 calories purely because the label portions it at 38 g. That is the honest reading — the chocolate is heavier per bite, the portion is smaller, and the two effects cancel out on paper but not in a living room. If you can genuinely stop at three, Rocher costs you 15 calories less than a candy bar. If the gold foil keeps coming out of the tray, the bar was the safer purchase, because a bar ends and a box does not.

Ferrero Rocher FAQs
How many calories are in one Ferrero Rocher?
One Ferrero Rocher is 74 calories. The US label sets the serving at three pieces, 38 g and 220 calories, so a single ball works out to 12.7 g. That one piece also carries 5.3 g of fat and 5.7 g of carbohydrate, our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure.
How many calories in 3 Ferrero Rocher?
Three Ferrero Rocher are 220 calories, which is the serving size printed on the US box: 38 g. That plate of three brings 16.0 g of fat, 17.0 g of carbohydrate, 3.0 g of protein and 20 mg of sodium, and the fat alone is 21% of the Daily Value.
How many calories in a 12-piece Ferrero Rocher box?
A 12-piece box is 882 calories, our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure: 152.4 g at 579 calories per 100 g. That is 64.2 g of fat, 82% of the Daily Value, and more calories than three 44 g milk chocolate bars, which come to 705.
How much fat is in a Ferrero Rocher?
Three pieces carry 16.0 g of fat, 21% of the Daily Value, and one piece is 5.3 g. Per 100 g the figure is 42.11 g, well above plain milk chocolate at 29.66 g. The hazelnut, the wafer shell and the croquante coating are what move that row.
How many carbs are in Ferrero Rocher?
Three pieces hold 17.0 g of carbohydrate, 6% of the Daily Value, and 100 g holds 44.74 g. One piece is about 5.7 g. FoodData Central does not publish a total sugars figure for this GTIN, so the sugar share of that carbohydrate is not something this page can state.
How many calories in Ferrero Rocher per 100 g?
Per 100 g Ferrero Rocher is 579 calories, with 42.11 g of fat, 44.74 g of carbohydrate and 7.89 g of protein. One hundred grams is close to eight pieces, more than most people eat at once, which is why the American label works in threes instead.
Is Ferrero Rocher higher in calories than a milk chocolate bar?
Yes, per 100 g: 579 calories against 535 for plain milk chocolate. Per serving the bar is bigger, though. A 1.55 oz bar of 44 g is 235 calories against 220 for three Ferrero Rocher, because the label serving is 6 g lighter than the whole bar.
How much protein is in Ferrero Rocher?
Three pieces give 3.0 g of protein, 6% of the Daily Value, and 100 g gives 7.89 g. That is nut-level protein for a candy, but it is not a reason to count on it: chocolate-coated peanuts run 13.1 g per 100 g and still sit in the same aisle.
