Hi,

Does anyone know how many grams of carbs there are in 1 bar of Galaxy Caramel?

Most chocolate bars give a cho value per 100g on the wrapper, do they not?

I've just looked up the Galaxy site. A 135g Galaxy Caramel bar has 60g of carbohydrate in every 100g of the bar, so that's 1.35 x 60 = 81g of carbohydrate in the whole bar. I didn't check, but I'm fairly sure the 60/100 ratio will be the same for any size of Galaxy Caramel bar so a similar calculation will give you the cho value for any bar. If you don't see where I get any of these figures from, please don't be afraid to ask.

I found for 3 pieces, 15g, which means about 30g for the bar, so that sounds about right..........

Did you get the same Gill?

I've just 'rescued' a Galaxy Caramel from the machine in our canteen, for research purposes you understand Wink

For the 48g bar it works out 28-29g carb, rounded to 3CPs

I love this kind of learning (as long as I remember my QA Laughing )
