What causes the difference

In these two examples, the changes are: candy type — fruit jelly → praline, glaze — sugar glaze → dark chocolate.

Candy type: Fruit jelly → PralineGlaze: Sugar glaze → Dark chocolate
  • Fruit jelly is made largely from pectin and sugar and contains almost no fat.
  • Praline contains ground nuts and cocoa butter. That added fat raises the total from 339 to 543 kcal per 100 g.
  • The coatings also differ: a thin sugar glaze versus dark chocolate.
  • Both examples contain three candies. The selected type, not the serving count, changes the total.
