✦ High saturated fat and free sugars ✦ Very energy-dense confectionery ✦ Minimal nutritional value ✦ Occasional treat food

Chocolate covered caramel and biscuit fingers are confectionery consisting of a shortbread biscuit base, caramel layer, and milk chocolate coating. They are high in saturated fat and free sugars, very energy-dense (~490 kcal/100g), and provide minimal nutritional benefit. A single finger (~25g) contributes around 120 kcal.

🍳
Preparation note

Consume as an occasional treat only. The combination of fat and sugar makes these highly palatable and easy to overeat — stick to a single portion and pair with a drink of water or unsweetened tea.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food. NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label. They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.

Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead. How we source and normalise our data →
