How many ProPoints in...cakes, pastries etc?

One of the most popular searches that brings people to my blog is how many ProPoints are in a croissant.  So below are just some examples of the ProPoints in cakes, pastries etc for those of you with a sweet tooth:


Croissant




These can vary across the board, for example Tesco's All Butter Croissant have 6 ProPoints each where as Asda's Extra Special Croissant have 9 ProPoints each and Marks and Spencer's and the Co-op's versions have 5 ProPoints each.  Weight Watchers own Croissants have only 4 ProPoints each.  But don't forget to add the extra points for the jam and butter!!


Butterfly Cakes



I'm not a big cake or pastry eater, I'd rather have a bag of crisps but if I was going to eat a little bit of cake with my cup of tea then it would have to be these butterfly cakes (click here for the recipe).  They are 7 ProPoints each but they are a little bit of buttery heaven! 


Chocolate Mini Rolls


Cadbury Mini Rolls are 3 ProPoints each or as an alternative, Weight Watchers own Chocolate Mini Rolls are 2 ProPoints each.


Jam Tarts
Again these can vary slightly, Mr Kiplings and Sainsbury's Jam Tarts have 4 ProPoints each, Tesco's own Jam Tarts have 3 ProPoints each


Doughnuts


Again Doughnuts can vary in points depending on the type that you get.  According to the calculator on weight watchers website, the Co-operative Custard doughnuts are 4 ProPoints, Asda's Jam Doughnuts are 7 ProPoints each, Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnuts are 6 ProPoints and Iced Doughnuts are 7 ProPoints
