How Many Calories Are Packed Into a Snickers Bar?

Snickers bars are a classic chocolate treat, but how many calories are in each size? Whether you're indulging in a Fun-Size Snickers or sharing a full-size bar, here’s what you need to know about the nutrition and sugar content.

Snickers Bar Calories by Size

1. Snickers Sharing Size (3.29 oz, 2 bars per pack)

• Calories: 220 per bar

• Total fat: 11 g

• Saturated fat: 4 g

• Sodium: 115 mg

• Carbohydrates: 29 g

• Sugar: 25 g (46% Daily Value)

The Sharing Size replaced the discontinued King-Size Snickers, which had around 555 calories per package.

2. Regular Snickers Bar (1.86 oz)

• Calories: 250

• Total fat: 12 g

• Saturated fat: 4.5 g

• Sodium: 125 mg

• Carbohydrates: 32 g

A standard Snickers bar contains over half of the recommended daily limit for added sugars.

3. Mini Snickers (3 pieces, 18g total)

• Calories: 130

• Total fat: 6 g

• Saturated fat: 2.5 g

• Sodium: 65 mg

Opting for Minis can help control portion sizes while still enjoying a treat.

4. Fun-Size Snickers (17g, approx. half an ounce)

• Total fat: 4 g

• Saturated fat: 1.5 g

• Sodium: 40 mg

• Carbohydrates: 10 g

Fun-Size bars are lower in calories but can add up quickly if you eat multiple pieces.

How Much Sugar Is in a Snickers Bar?

Snickers bars contain high amounts of added sugar, which should be limited for optimal health:

1. Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2020-2025): Less than 10% of daily calories from added sugars (50g for a 2,000-calorie diet).

2. American Heart Association:

   • Women: No more than 25g (100 calories) per day.

   • Men: No more than 36g (150 calories) per day.

A regular Snickers bar (28g of sugar) already exceeds the daily recommended limit for women and comes close for men.

The Bottom Line

Snickers bars can be an occasional treat, but they are high in added sugar. Opting for Mini or Fun-Size versions can help with portion control, but eating multiple servings may quickly exceed daily sugar recommendations.
