About Butterfinger mini
Butterfinger Minis are bite-sized versions of the classic Butterfinger candy bar, originating in the United States and introduced in 1923 by the Curtiss Candy Company. Featuring a unique combination of a crisp, flaky peanut butter core coated in chocolate, these treats are a popular indulgence in American cuisine. A standard serving of Butterfinger Minis (approximately 42 grams) contains about 190 calories, 8 grams of fat, 27 grams of carbohydrates, and 2 grams of protein. They also provide small amounts of calcium and iron but are high in sugars and saturated fats, making them a dessert or occasional treat rather than a regular nutrient source.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy due to high carbohydrate content, primarily from sugars.
- Contains a small amount of calcium (around 2% of the daily value per serving) which supports bone health.
- Offers a modest amount of protein (2 grams per serving), which aids in muscle repair and maintenance.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting or degradation of the chocolate coating.
