This year Target is going big with its Christmas candy by offering candy bars by the yard. With enough serving for 18 people, these enormous candy bars are big enough for any holiday gathering.
The Giant Snickers Christmas Yard Bar was recently spotted at a Target stores in New Jersey alongside yard-sized versions of M&M's and Twix. To make the chocolate easy to share, each of the yard-length bars is broken up into 18 individually wrapped portions, instead of one giant candy bar.
While the idea of buying a candy bar by the yard may sound excessive, the bulk option is ideal for anyone who wants to pick up multiple candy bars for holiday gifts in one easy trip.
