About Double decker

The Double Decker is a popular confectionery bar originating from the UK, produced by Cadbury. It combines a layer of crispy cereal with nougat, coated in milk chocolate. As a sweet treat, it has a high sugar content and provides primarily quick-digesting carbohydrates. A standard bar (54.5g) contains approximately 250 calories, 29g of carbohydrates (including 25g of sugar), 12g of fat, and 2g of protein. While it is not considered a nutrient-dense food, it can provide a quick energy boost. However, its high sugar and fat content make it more suitable for occasional consumption rather than as part of a balanced diet.

Health Benefits

• Provides a quick source of energy due to its high carbohydrate content (29g per bar).
• Contains small amounts of calcium from the milk-based chocolate coating, contributing to bone health.
• The nougat layer includes minor traces of protein (2g per bar), which supports muscle repair.

What are the health benefits or concerns of eating Double Decker?

How many servings or portions of Double Decker are recommended?

A Double Decker is typically considered a single serving at 54g, containing approximately 250 calories. It should be consumed occasionally as a treat rather than a regular snack due to its high sugar and calorie content.

How does Double Decker compare to other chocolate bars?

Double Decker has a unique combination of nougat and crispy layers, making it heavier (54g) and slightly more filling than standard chocolate bars. However, it contains similar levels of sugar and calories to other popular bars like Mars or Snickers, so the choice depends on texture preference rather than nutritional differences.
