About Milky way fun size
Milky Way Fun Size is a smaller portion of the classic candy bar created by Mars, Incorporated in 1923. Known for its American origin, this treat combines nougat, caramel, and milk chocolate for a sweet and chewy texture. Each fun-size piece is intended for quick snacking and convenience. Nutritionally, Milky Way Fun Size contains approximately 75 calories, 3 grams of fat, 12 grams of carbohydrates, and 8 grams of sugar per piece. It provides energy from simple sugars but is low in essential nutrients, offering minimal fiber, protein, vitamins, or minerals.
Health Benefits
- Provides a quick source of energy due to its high simple sugar content (8 grams of sugar per piece).
- Contains small amounts of calcium from milk chocolate, which can contribute to bone health. (Approximately 1% of daily calcium needs per serving.)
- Offers minor mood-boosting effects through sugar and chocolate content, which may stimulate serotonin release briefly.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent chocolate from melting or spoiling.
