Candy Cookie — Panera Bread

Is the Candy Cookie a good deal?

At a typical $3.19, the Candy Cookie at Panera Bread gives you 410 calories and 4g of protein — 1.3g of protein and 129 calories for every dollar you spend. That earns it a value score of 39/100, which ranks it #781 of the 1023 comparable items we've priced across every chain (the typical comparable item returns about 2.8g of protein per dollar).

On the numbers it's an unremarkable value pick in its category. Worth noting, though — it carries a lot of sugar (31g). If you want more for your money elsewhere on our value rankings, 3 Tacos al Carbon Combo at El Pollo Loco scores higher (89/100 value, $6.99).
