About Candies, MOUNDS Candy Bar
Mounds is the dark-chocolate cousin of Almond Joy: a moist, sweetened coconut center enrobed in dark chocolate, but with no almonds and no milk chocolate. That coconut filling is what gives the bar its character — chewy, intensely sweet, and unusually rich in saturated fat for a candy, since coconut is one of the most saturated fats in the food supply.
Per 100 grams Mounds delivers about 486 calories, with roughly 59 grams of carbohydrate, around 46 grams of it sugar, and about 27 grams of fat — of which a very high 21 grams is saturated. One upside of all that coconut is fiber: at close to 4 grams per 100 grams it has more than most chocolate bars. A standard 1.75-ounce bar weighs about 49 grams, which works out to roughly 240 calories and 23 grams of sugar, already approaching a typical day's added-sugar allowance.
Mounds is essentially a coconut confection rather than a nutrient source, and its saturated-fat load is its most distinctive feature. The two-piece pack makes it easy to eat half and save the rest, which is a sensible way to keep the sugar and saturated fat in check.
