Toffee Nutrition
Toffee is an energy-dense candy made mostly of sugar and butter, so it is high in calories, sugar, and saturated fat, with a typical serving of around 30-40 grams supplying roughly 150-200 calories depending on the recipe. Nutritional values vary with added chocolate and nuts, and toffee offers little beyond quick energy, so it is best enjoyed in small portions.
What Drives the Calories
The bulk of toffee's calories come from sugar and butter, giving it a high proportion of carbohydrate and fat. Chocolate coatings and nuts add more calories, while nuts also contribute small amounts of protein and fiber.
Sensible Serving Sizes
Because toffee is calorie-dense, portions are usually small, a piece or two rather than a large helping. Compared with soft caramel, toffee is similar in calorie density since both are largely sugar and fat.
