Dr. Oetker Single Use Chocolate Sauce - How Many Calories?

Calories in the 50 g sachet

The 50 g single-use Dr. Oetker chocolate sauce sachet provides 140 calories and 31.65 g sugars. A weighed 10 g topping adds 28 calories; 20 g adds 56. Sharing the sachet equally gives two 25 g portions, each with 70 calories and about 15.83 g sugars.

Ready sauce is different from powder

This 50 g product is ready to use, without adding milk or cooking. The brand’s 123 g powdered chocolate sauce is a separate product, with different values before and after preparation. Check the format as well as the brand when choosing a packet.

For ice cream, pancakes or cake, count both the base and the sauce. The 56 calories in a measured 20 g topping describe the sauce alone. If a packaged dessert’s label already includes its sauce, adding it again would count it twice.

For example, 50 g plain vanilla ice cream with 20 g of this ready sauce provides about 160 calories and 23.27 g sugars. The sauce adds 56 calories to the ice cream’s 103.5; a cone is outside this example.

Read the sugars and allergen information

The reference label lists 63.3 g sugars per 100 g. Its 5% chocolate ingredient does not mean 5% cocoa. The retailer declares milk, soy and sulphite allergens; a gluten-free or dairy-free claim for another sauce does not apply to this sachet.

The same range’s ready blackberry sauce provides about 42 calories and 10.22 g sugars per 20 g, compared with 56 calories and 12.66 g in the chocolate sauce. These figures compare the two selected ready-sauce labels.
