About Butterfinger minis
Butterfinger Minis are bite-sized chocolate-covered candy bars known for their crispy, peanut butter-flavored toffee core. A classic American confection, their origin dates back to 1923 when Otto Schnering created the full-sized Butterfinger bar. These minis retain the same iconic flavor in a smaller, convenient serving size. Nutritionally, Butterfinger Minis are energy-dense with approximately 170 calories, 8 grams of fat, and 18 grams of sugar per serving (5 pieces). They also contain small amounts of protein (2 grams) and carbohydrates (24 grams). While primarily a treat, such snacks should be consumed in moderation due to their high sugar and fat content.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content.
- Contains small amounts of protein (2g/serving), which aids in muscle repair and maintenance.
- Satisfies cravings, which may help reduce the risk of overeating other foods when consumed mindfully.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 75°F to prevent the chocolate from melting and maintain freshness.
