About Candies, MARS SNACKFOOD US, SKITTLES Original Bite Size Candies
Skittles are small, chewy fruit candies in a hard, brightly colored sugar shell — the "taste the rainbow" sweets that come in flavors like strawberry, lemon, green apple, grape and orange. Unlike chocolate candies, they contain no cocoa and almost no fat; they are essentially sugar, fruit flavoring and color.
That makes their nutrition profile simple and sugar-dominated. Per 100 grams Skittles provide about 405 calories, with a very high roughly 91 grams of carbohydrate and around 76 grams of sugar, and just a trace of fat and protein. A standard 2.17-ounce bag weighs about 62 grams, which comes to roughly 250 calories and a hefty 47 grams of sugar — well over a typical day's added-sugar allowance.
Because there is no chocolate or nut content, there are no real micronutrients here — Skittles are pure candy, valued for chewy texture and bright fruit flavor. The small fun-size packs are the sensible way to enjoy them, since a full bag is a large dose of sugar in one sitting.
