Why Do Custard Creams Have Syns?

At 3 syns per custard cream, you can have up to five of these biscuits before using all your syn allowance, making them low in syns.

Custard creams typically have a low syn value due to their small size and low-calorie content, they are however high in sugar, with the average custard cream having 3.4g of sugar, we, therefore, suggest having these biscuits in moderation.
