Fudge has varying syns according to the size and favour chose, on average, you can expect a square of plain vanilla fudge weighing 15g to have between 2.5-5syns, making it a fairly low syn sweet but should be indulged in within moderation.

In our syn guide below, we will discuss how many squares of fudge you can have on slimming world, syn values of fudge, low syn alternative candy and a recipe for making your own SW fake fudge.

How Much Fudge Can I Eat On Slimming World?

At 2.5-5 syns for a 15g square, fudge is moderate in syns compared to other kinds of sweets, you could have around 3-6 pieces before using all of your 15 syn daily allowances, but this does depend on the size of the fudge square.

We would suggest consuming fudge mindfully however because it can be very high in fat and sugar due to the condensed cream inside. For example, one portion of Tesco fudge has 5.5 syns and up to 4g of fat plus 19g of sugar.
