York Peppermint Patty quick facts
The numbers below come from SR Legacy record 167982, "Candies, YORK Peppermint Pattie". It is the one unbranded USDA entry written specifically for this candy, and the only one that carries a real household measure — "1 patty, 1.5 oz" — instead of a manufacturer's label serving. USDA also holds more than two hundred branded rows for peppermint patties, but most are re-issues of the same barcode in a new box, so they add packaging, not information.

Two rows you would see on the wrapper are missing here: added sugars and trans fat. SR Legacy does not publish either value for this record, so there is nothing honest to put in those cells and they have been left out rather than guessed. Total sugars have no Daily Value at all under the FDA's label rules, which is why that cell shows a dash.
Cholesterol and potassium are both quiet. One patty holds under 1 mg of cholesterol, rounding to 0% of the Daily Value, and 48 mg of potassium, about 1%. Sodium is 12 mg, which is 1% — for a chocolate-coated candy, that is a remarkably small salt footprint.
US servings, from one mini to the full patty
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 unwrapped mini | 4 g | 15 kcal |
| 2 snack-size pieces | 27 g | 104 kcal |
| 1 oz | 28.3 g | 109 kcal |
| 3 snack-size pieces | 41 g | 157 kcal |
| 1 patty, 1.5 oz | 43 g | 165 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 384 kcal |
Only the 43 g line is a USDA household measure. The mini, the two-piece and the three-piece rows are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, scaled to the weights the wrappers actually use, not USDA servings in their own right. The ounce row is the same kind of scaling and is worth knowing because candy is one of the few foods Americans still buy by the ounce.
The useful pattern: a mini is a 15-calorie decision, a snack-size piece is roughly a 50-calorie decision, and the full patty is a 165-calorie one. Nothing in between exists in the box, so the size you unwrap decides almost everything. Three minis, at 45 calories, cost less than one snack-size piece.
The patty on the shelf is lighter than the USDA one
The reference record is a 1.5-ounce patty at 43 g. The single-serve pack sold in checkout lanes today is 39 g and 150 calories, logged in USDA's branded data at 385 calories per 100 g. Same candy, same density, roughly 10% less of it.
That gap matters if you log by name rather than by weight. Pick the SR Legacy row for a wrapper you did not weigh and you will overshoot by about 15 calories a patty — small once, 100 calories over a week of daily mints. If the wrapper says 150, trust the wrapper; if it says 1.5 oz, the 165 figure is the right one.
Snack size, minis and thins
| Version | Per 100 g | Label serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| York Peppermint Patties, standard | 382 kcal | 1.2 oz (34 g) | 130 kcal |
| York snack size | 366 kcal | 3 pieces (41 g) | 150 kcal |
| York Unwrapped Minis | 375 kcal | 8 pieces (32 g) | 120 kcal |
| York Thins | 382 kcal | 4 pieces (34 g) | 130 kcal |
| York dark chocolate, 2-piece pack | 370 kcal | 2 pieces (27 g) | 100 kcal |
| Atkins peppermint patties | 261 kcal | 1 piece (23 g) | 60 kcal |
Two things stand out. First, the snack size is not just smaller, it is slightly less dense: 366 calories per 100 g against 384 for the SR Legacy patty. That is why the label puts three pieces at 150 while scaling the reference record to the same 41 g gives 157. Seven calories is inside the noise for one snack, but it explains why two apps can disagree about the same handful.
Second, the minis and the thins are portion tricks, not recipe changes. Thins are 382 calories per 100 g, within two calories of the full patty; you simply get four flat discs instead of one thick one. The minis run 375 and come 8 to a 32 g serving, which is where the 15-calories-per-piece figure comes from.
Outside the York line, the density climbs. A dark chocolate peppermint patty from Eddyleon is 429 calories per 100 g, 90 for a 21 g piece. Palmer's mini patties are 465 per 100 g, so a 43 g handful of twelve is 200 calories against the reference patty's 165 for the same weight. The keto version from Atkins is the only one that goes the other way, at 261 per 100 g.
Low in fat, but most of that fat is saturated
For a chocolate-covered candy, the fat number is small. One patty holds 3.1 g, which is 4% of the 78 g Daily Value. The catch is the split: 1.9 g of that 3.1 g is saturated, or 61% of the total fat, and it lands at 9% of the 20 g Daily Value for saturated fat. The chocolate shell is doing all of it — the mint center is sugar with almost nothing else in it.
That is the honest trade. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans put saturated fat under 10% of daily calories, and one patty uses about a tenth of that allowance while a candy bar of the same weight would use far more. If your day is already heavy on cheese and ground beef, a patty is a cheap dessert on the saturated-fat line.
Sugar is the row with no ceiling printed on it. Total sugars carry no Daily Value, and the SR Legacy record does not break out added sugars, so no added-sugars percentage can be calculated from this data. For scale, the FDA sets the added-sugars Daily Value at 50 g a day, and one patty contributes 27.4 g of total sugar.
How does a York Peppermint Patty compare?
| Candy | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| York peppermint patty | 384 kcal | one patty, 43 g | 165 kcal |
| Caramels | 382 kcal | 1 oz, 28.3 g | 108 kcal |
| Vanilla fudge | 383 kcal | 1 oz, 28.3 g | 108 kcal |
| Chocolate-flavor caramel roll | 387 kcal | 1 oz, 28.3 g | 110 kcal |
Our take: by density these four are the same candy. They sit between 382 and 387 calories per 100 g, a five-calorie spread, and per ounce they land between 108 and 110. Anyone choosing a peppermint patty to save calories per gram is choosing nothing. The fat order runs caramels 8.1 g per 100 g, the patty 7.17 g, fudge 5.45 g and the caramel roll 3.31 g, so the patty is not the lean one either — caramels also carry more than twice its protein, 4.6 g against 2.19 g, which is milk solids rather than a reason to pick them.
What the patty wins on is shape. It arrives wrapped, in one fixed 43 g piece, and stopping is a decision you make once. Caramels and fudge are eaten by the handful, and a handful is whatever your hand decides. If you want a mint for under 50 calories, take three minis at 45; if you want the full experience, spend the 165 and log it.

165 calories in one 1.5-ounce patty, 43 g on the USDA scale, at 384 calories per 100 g. That buys 34.8 g of carbohydrate, 27.4 g of it sugar, and only 3.1 g of fat. The single-serve pack on shelves today is smaller, 39 g and 150 calories.
How many calories in a snack-size York Peppermint Pattie?
About 50 calories a piece. USDA's branded record for the snack size lists 3 pieces, 41 g, at 150 calories, which is 50 apiece. Scaling the SR Legacy patty to the same 41 g gives 157 instead, because the snack-size formula is slightly lighter at 366 calories per 100 g against 384.
How many calories in York Peppermint Pattie Minis?
About 15 calories each. The unwrapped minis are listed at 8 pieces, 32 g, 120 calories, so a single piece is 4 g and 15 calories. Eleven minis add up to one full patty's 165. Three of them, 45 calories, is the cheapest mint in the box.
How much sugar is in a York Peppermint Pattie?
27.4 g of sugar in one 43 g patty, from 63.78 g per 100 g — most of the candy's weight is sweetener. USDA's SR Legacy record does not publish added sugars for this food, so no added-sugars percentage can be given here. The FDA sets that Daily Value at 50 g a day.
How many carbs are in a York Peppermint Pattie?
34.8 g of carbohydrate in one patty, 13% of the Daily Value, with 0.9 g of it fiber. Per 100 g the candy is 80.99 g carbohydrate, which is high even for candy — though a chocolate-flavor caramel roll is higher still at 87.73 g per 100 g.
Is a York Peppermint Pattie low in fat?
Yes, by candy standards: 3.1 g of fat in one patty, 4% of the 78 g Daily Value. The catch is that 1.9 g of it is saturated, 9% of the 20 g saturated-fat Daily Value and 61% of the total fat. The thin chocolate shell accounts for nearly all of it.
How many York Peppermint Patties are in 100 grams?
Two and a third patties, since one weighs 43 g. Those 100 g come to 384 calories, 80.99 g of carbohydrate and 63.78 g of sugar. The conversion is handy when you weigh a bowl of unwrapped candy instead of counting wrappers: 100 g is roughly 25 minis.
York Peppermint Pattie vs Peppermint Pattie Thins calories?
130 calories for 4 thins, 34 g, against 165 for one full patty. Per 100 g the two are nearly identical, 382 for the thins and 384 for the patty, so thins are not a lighter recipe — just a smaller serving cut into four pieces you can stop after.
