Snickers Bar has been around since the 1930’s; a childhood memory that remains one of the nation’s favorite bars. I am told the humble snickers bar was named after the favorite horse owned by the Mars Family, which is possibly why it is such a champion among chocolates! The traditional brown wrapper is synonymous with the Snickers brand and the cliché tag “Get some nuts” brands it as a touch cookie to crack and not a chocolate for the faint hearted!

Snickers is a sweet but savory snack and packs a lot in to one bar. It contains peanut butter with a caramel- center, roasted peanuts, all surrounded by chocolate smooth milk chocolate. The bar contains 280 calories to a 58g bar and 30g worth of sugar which means that unless you enjoy Snickers as part of a balanced diet and exercise regularly, it should not be consumed on a daily basis!
