So, how many calories are in a Jawbreaker? There are typically between 40-75 calories per serving of Jawbreaker (15g or ¼”). It ultimately depends on the brand and ingredients used.

The thing with Jawbreakers is it is a little tricky to know for sure.

Well, it depends on what you’re up to and your tongue fatigue.
