Peppermint creams, homemade

Peppermint creams are sugar-based sweets flavoured with peppermint. The figures here describe a homemade recipe. They mainly provide carbohydrate, almost all of it sugar: per 100g, they contain 97g of carbohydrate, including 96g of sugars, and provide 1562 kJ of energy. Protein content is low at 0.7g, while fat and fibre are present only in trace amounts.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body. The high sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. Sugary foods can contribute to tooth decay, particularly when eaten frequently between meals. Despite containing only trace amounts of fat and saturated fat, peppermint creams still provide substantial energy from sugar. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
