Are you tucking into a Jawbreaker? I say that; it’s more like patiently licking. Nevertheless, are you wondering, or perhaps concerned, as to how many calories you are consuming? Well, I’m here to give you the information you need. I wondered too. So I did a little digging to find out. Here is exactly what you want to know.
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.
It depends on a lot of factors; the brand of Jawbreaker, the size, the amount you eat…
And the thing is, these are not the kind of candies you typically consume in one sitting.
Well, it depends on what you’re up to and your tongue fatigue.
Nevertheless, let’s see what contributes to those calories and what you can expect per Jawbreaker serving.
What Are Jawbreakers Made Of?
Jawbreakers are typically made of Sugar, Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, Gums (often Carnauba Wax), Preservatives, and Artificial Flavors and Colors.
That being said, the true ingredients list will differ by Jawbreaker and by brand.
So you need to check in with the manufacturer, or if possible, check any product packaging first.
