How many calories are in a Rolo?
A 42 g tube of Rolo, seven caramel-filled chocolates, carries 199 calories, and the candy runs 474 calories per 100 g. One piece on its own is 28. That density sits in the same band as most milk chocolate bars, so the calories in Rolo track the size of the package you open far more than the recipe inside it.
You'd need to walk about 40 minutes to burn the 199 calories in a 7-piece tube (42 g).

Rolo quick facts
The reference profile here is SR Legacy 168765, "Candies, ROLO Caramels in Milk Chocolate". It is the only USDA record for the caramels themselves with a complete nutrient profile, and its household measure, 7 pieces, is also the serving printed on the gold tube. That is the unit a person is holding when they look this up, so it is the column that carries the bold number.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 7 pieces (42 g) | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 474 | 199 | — |
| Total fat | 20.93 g | 8.8 g | 11% |
| Saturated fat | 14.54 g | 6.1 g | 31% |
| Carbohydrate | 67.95 g | 28.5 g | 10% |
| Dietary fiber | 0.9 g | 0.4 g | 1% |
| Total sugars | 63.93 g | 26.9 g | — |
| Protein | 5.08 g | 2.1 g | 4% |
| Sodium | 188 mg | 79 mg | 3% |

There is no added sugars row above, because the SR Legacy edition of this record does not publish one. That matters more than it sounds: total sugars have no Daily Value of their own, so the 26.9 g in a tube cannot honestly be scored against the FDA's 50 g added sugars target. Cholesterol and potassium sit at 12 mg and 188 mg per 100 g, which works out to 5 mg and 79 mg in a tube, 2% of the Daily Value each. Sodium is quiet too, 79 mg per tube, well under a twentieth of a teaspoon of table salt.
One more gap worth naming. Hershey's own label for the tube reads 452 calories per 100 g and 190 per serving, while USDA's laboratory record reads 474 and 199. Labels are allowed to round and to use slightly different fat values; this page uses the USDA figures throughout and keeps the label numbers in the brand rows below.
US servings from one candy to the whole package
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 piece | 6 g | 28 kcal |
| 6 pieces | 36 g | 171 kcal |
| 7 pieces, USDA measure and tube serving | 42 g | 199 kcal |
| 1 package | 48 g | 228 kcal |
| 1 oz | 28.4 g | 134 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 474 kcal |
Only two of those servings come straight from USDA: the 7-piece measure and the 48 g package. The single piece, the six pieces and the ounce are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not USDA servings, scaled at 4.74 calories per gram.
The gap between the first row and the fourth is the whole story of this candy. One Rolo is 28 calories, a number small enough to ignore. The full 48 g package is 228, roughly eight times that, and it disappears in the same amount of time. Nothing about the pace of eating changes between them, which is why people who log a tube after the fact are usually surprised, not by the density, but by the count.
An ounce lands at 134 calories, and that is the useful conversion if you are weighing candy on a kitchen scale rather than counting foil wrappers. Just under five pieces make an ounce.
Rolo sizes that people actually buy
| Size | Per 100 g | Typical portion | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| One Rolo | 474 kcal | 1 piece (6 g) | 28 kcal |
| Seven-piece tube | 474 kcal | 7 pieces (42 g) | 199 kcal |
| Full package | 474 kcal | 1 package (48 g) | 228 kcal |
All three run off the same USDA record, so the per-gram figure never moves. What moves is the count. A tube shared at a desk in the afternoon is a 199-calorie snack, comparable to a granola bar and a half. The 48 g package taken to a movie is 228, with 7.0 g of saturated fat, 35% of the Daily Value, and 30.7 g of total sugars.
If you want a rule that survives contact with a checkout line, count pieces rather than packages. Six pieces is 171 calories and leaves the seventh in the tube, which is the only reliable way this candy stops on its own.
Minis fun size and Pretzel Delights
USDA's Branded database carries several Rolo formats, each with its own label values. They are rounded differently from the laboratory record, so expect a few calories of drift either way.
| Version | Per 100 g | Label portion | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rolo Unwrapped Minis | 457 kcal | 2 packages (35 g) | 160 kcal |
| Rolo Chewy Caramel fun size | 471 kcal | 0.63 oz (17 g) | 80 kcal |
| Rolo Pretzel Delights | 467 kcal | 5 pieces (30 g) | 140 kcal |
| Rolo tube, brand label | 452 kcal | 7 pieces (42 g) | 190 kcal |
| Rolo 5-piece pack, brand label | 467 kcal | 5 pieces (30 g) | 140 kcal |
Across every one of those rows, per 100 g stays between 452 and 471. There is no light version of this candy. The fun-size pack is the smallest decision available at 80 calories, and the minis at 160 for two packages are the format most likely to be eaten twice, because the pouches are small enough to feel like a single serving.
The Pretzel Delights row is a different food wearing the same name, a pretzel base with caramel and chocolate on top, and at 140 calories for five pieces it is the one to check separately rather than assume.
Saturated fat is the row that moves first
For a candy in the middle of the pack on calories, Rolo is not in the middle on saturated fat. A tube gives 11% of the Daily Value for total fat but 31% for saturated fat, and that asymmetry is the point: caramel in milk chocolate is built almost entirely from the saturated end of the fat spectrum. The FDA's Daily Value reference sets the saturated fat target at 20 g a day, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping saturated fat under 10% of daily calories.
Read together, one tube is close to a third of that allowance for 199 calories, which is about a tenth of a 2,000-calorie day. If you are watching saturated fat because of a lipid panel, the fun-size pack at 80 calories is the version that keeps the ratio reasonable.
Sugar behaves the way you expect. At 63.93 g per 100 g, Rolo is close to two-thirds sugar by weight, and a tube brings 26.9 g of it. Because USDA does not split added from naturally occurring sugars in this record, this page does not put a percentage on that number, and neither should any page working from the same source.
How does Rolo compare?
| Candy | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rolo caramels | 474 kcal | 7 pieces, 42 g | 199 kcal |
| Reese's Fast Break | 474 kcal | 2 oz bar, 56.7 g | 269 kcal |
| M&M's Crispy | 475 kcal | 1.6 oz bag, 45.4 g | 216 kcal |
| Snickers Almond bar | 472 kcal | 1.76 oz bar, 49.9 g | 236 kcal |
Our take: per gram these four are indistinguishable, all landing within three calories of each other per 100 g, so anyone choosing between them on density is choosing on nothing. The whole difference is portion weight. Rolo's tube is the smallest unit of the group at 42 g, which is why it is also the lowest number in the calories column, 70 below the Fast Break bar. Pick Rolo when you want the smaller default and are fine with the saturated fat, pick the Fast Break when protein matters at all, since peanut butter takes it to 8.66 g per 100 g against Rolo's 5.08 g. If you want the candy to last, the individually wrapped format beats any bar, because unwrapping is the only brake in the box.

Rolo FAQs
How many calories are in one Rolo?
One Rolo weighs about 6 g and carries 28 calories, our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure of 474 calories rather than a USDA serving. That single candy brings roughly 3.8 g of sugar and 0.9 g of saturated fat, so one piece after lunch is a very small line in a day's total.
How many calories in a tube of Rolos?
A 42 g tube of seven pieces is 199 calories, the serving USDA lists and the one printed on the wrapper. It carries 28.5 g of carbohydrate, 26.9 g of it sugar, and 6.1 g of saturated fat, which is 31% of the Daily Value. Hershey's own label rounds the same tube to 190.
How much sugar is in Rolo candy?
Seven pieces hold 26.9 g of total sugars, and 100 g of Rolo holds 63.93 g, so the candy is close to two-thirds sugar by weight. USDA's SR Legacy record does not split added sugars from naturally occurring ones, so there is no added sugars percentage to quote for this food.
How many Rolos are in a 42 g pack?
Seven, at about 6 g each, which is why USDA's household measure for this record is 7 pieces at 199 calories. A 30 g pack holds five pieces and reads 140 calories on the label, while the 48 g package works out to eight pieces and 228 calories at the same per-gram rate.
How many calories in Rolo Minis?
Two packages of unwrapped Rolo Minis weigh 35 g and come to 160 calories, from a separate USDA Branded record listing 457 calories per 100 g. That is 17 calories per 100 g below the SR Legacy caramels, a gap that comes from label rounding rather than from a different recipe inside the candy.
Do Rolos have more saturated fat than a Snickers?
Rolo carries 14.54 g of saturated fat per 100 g. USDA's SR Legacy record for the Snickers Almond bar does not publish a saturated fat figure at all, so the honest comparison is total fat, where the Snickers bar is higher: 22.4 g per 100 g against 20.93 g for Rolo.
How much protein is in Rolo chocolate?
There is 2.1 g of protein in a 42 g tube, 4% of the Daily Value, and 5.08 g per 100 g. Rolo is a sugar and fat candy, not a protein source. For contrast, USDA lists Reese's Fast Break at 8.66 g of protein per 100 g, where the peanut butter does the work.
How many calories in a fun size Rolo pack?
A 0.63 oz fun-size pack weighs 17 g and lands at 80 calories, from a USDA Branded record at 471 calories per 100 g. Three of those across an afternoon add up to 240 calories, which is more than the full 48 g package at 228, and it rarely feels that way.
