The calories in a chocolate coin can vary depending on its size and type of chocolate (milk or dark).
Generally, a single chocolate coin (approximately 7 grams) contains about 37 calories.
However, some sources suggest different calorie counts based on specific brands or serving sizes:
- A serving of milk chocolate coins by Walgreens (40 grams) contains 210 calories.
- Fort Knox Milk Chocolate Gold Coins : 10 coins contain 220 calories.
- Palmer Premium Milk Chocolate Coins : 1 ½ ounces contain 230 calories.
- Manischewitz Milk Chocolate Coins : 1 serving contains 85 calories.
Keep in mind that these values are estimates and the actual calorie content may vary slightly. If you’re looking for precise nutritional information, it’s best to check the nutrition label on the specific chocolate coin product you are consuming.
