A Breakaway is a milk chocolate biscuit popular as a lunchbox snack but can equally be dunked and enjoyed after a hard day’s work with a brew. They have straight edges with a satisfying crunch finished off with a smooth chocolate flavour.
They are a treat based biscuit and in turn have a high number of calories per serving – but, how high are they and how do they fare against their rivals? Let’s find out.
Breakaway biscuit syn value
A single breakaway bar weighs 19 grams and contains 99 calories. This means that a Breakaway biscuit is worth 5 syns each and has a ratio of 0.25 syns per gram. The 5 syns per bar is similar to a Rocky and a Special K Biscuit Moment. The 0.25 syns per gram is on par with the likes of Nice and Chocolate Hobnob.
How many syns are in a pack of Breakaway?
A pack has 8 which adds up to 40 syns in total.
Are breakaways worth the syns?
Breakaways are atypical of treat-style biscuits and as such are few and far between the others. They are heavy on syns as a single item but with a reasonable syns per gram. It all depends on whether Breakaways are your favourite taste and textures or not.
