About Chocolate caramel bar
A chocolate caramel bar is a confectionery treat commonly found in Western cuisine and enjoyed globally. It typically consists of layers of soft caramel and nougat encased in a milk or dark chocolate coating. Nutritionally, it is high in simple sugars and fats, offering a quick source of energy. On average, a standard 50g bar contains around 240-280 calories, with approximately 8-13g of fat, 20-30g of carbohydrates (mostly sugars), and 2-4g of protein. While it provides a small amount of calcium and iron from the chocolate, it is primarily a source of empty calories with limited essential nutrients. Moderation is recommended when consuming this treat as part of a balanced diet.
Health Benefits
- Provides a quick energy boost due to its high simple sugar content (20-30g carbohydrates per bar).
- Dark chocolate varieties can offer small amounts of iron (up to 2% of the daily value per serving).
- Chocolate contains trace amounts of magnesium, which supports muscle and nerve function.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting; optimal storage temperature is between 15-18°C (59-64°F).
