Does anybody know how many grams of carbs there are in one segment of the large / chunky toblerone?

Does it say on the nutritional info on the pack ?

Just had a look & it's per 100g = 60.0
per 25g serving = 15.0
i presume the "per 25g serving = 15.0" would be one segment?
 
16.8g carb in 1oz/28g weight apparently .......

It usually says on the packaging what constitutes a serving - if not you'll have to count the segments and divide the total weight of the bar by it. Alternatively, you could just weigh a segment then use the 100g value to work out how much the segment contains 🙂
 
I would find the weight of the whole thing, count the number of segments, and then divide the weight by the segments to get the weight of an individual segment.

Then you'll be able to work out how much carb per segment.

Or, if you have digital scales, weigh one segment.🙂

That doesn't sound right as it would say that there was only 4 segments in a 100g bar - and I think there are more.

One method would be if you knew the total bar weight, if you open it up and count up all the segments then you can take the total weight and divide by the segments to know how much each weighs.
 
AT least we all know we must be right. :D

Aren't we ? 😱

The total bar weight is 400g, but as for counting up all the segments i can't because it was my son's christmas pressie (amongst lots of other things) from his grandparents & he's now eaten most of the segments, i just wondered about the carbs for 1 segment because earlier he forced me to have one 😱
 
Oh well -- one won't hurt you! 😉
 
My youngest had one last year and I'm sure each piece works out at 15g of carbs.
 
That would make 16 segments in a 400g bar, which sounds about right 🙂

I don't know if the bigger bars are different, but there are usually 11 triangles in a Toblerone. Toblerone has 9 letters and there is 1 extra triangle on each side🙂

That's logical! 🙂 So that would make a segment around 23g carbs (in a 400g bar)
 
I was slightly puzzled when the small metal bucket with a reindeer cartoon disappeared from under the Christmas tree (we'd bought it full of popcorn several years ago, drastically reduced in price after Christmas).

However, bucket reappeared in a gift bag on Christmas morning - my partner had filled it with various bags of chocolate, chocolate coins etc, including 3 mini bars of milk chocolate Toblerone, each weighing 35g and with 8 sections. Only eaten one so far - I want to make chocolate and kindness last 🙂
 
I hope it didn't upset whiskysmum's sugar levels too much
