Almond Milk Chocolate - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Almond Milk Chocolate

For milk chocolate with almonds, weigh the chocolate and nuts together. The unbranded reference gives 526 calories per 100 g, about 105 per weighed 20 g and 158 per 30 g. “Milk chocolate with almonds” is not the same as vegan chocolate made with almond milk.

How many calories are in a piece or square?

Bar thickness, the number of squares and the distribution of almonds vary, so a square has no universal weight. Weigh the piece or use a clearly stated gram weight per piece on the wrapper. At 20 g, the reference supplies 10.68 g carbohydrate, 8.78 g total sugars, 6.88 g fat, 1.8 g protein and 1.24 g fibre.

Increasing the portion to 30 g raises total sugars to about 13.17 g. Setting aside the piece you want as a sweet snack can be easier to follow than leaving the whole bar on the table. For the calculation, the packet’s net weight and the grams eaten matter more than the number of squares alone.

Do the almonds make it lower in sugar?

Almonds contribute fat, protein and fibre, but do not cancel the sugar in the chocolate. Without knowing the almond proportion and chocolate recipe, the difference from plain milk chocolate cannot be calculated. Compare both labels per 100 g first, then calculate equal weighed portions.

Whole chocolate-coated almonds may have a different chocolate-to-nut ratio from a bar containing almond pieces. A count of ten chocolate almonds cannot replace the 20 g bar calculation here. Milk and almonds make it unsuitable for people allergic to either ingredient; check the particular wrapper for other allergens and trace warnings. Switching to dark chocolate does not by itself guarantee less sugar.

A 20 g example of Eti Karam 54% dark chocolate contains 8.8 g sugars, very close to the almond milk-chocolate reference’s 8.78 g at the same weight. That does not make all dark chocolates alike; read the sugar line alongside the cocoa percentage.

The sugar-coated almond reference at 20 g provides about 95 calories and 12.5 g sugars. At equal weights, lower energy can coexist with higher sugars; a confectionery count is not a direct replacement for a chocolate-bar portion.
