High-protein snacks continue to be a popular option with many health-focused consumers looking to stay fueled throughout the day, so the Snickers Hi Protein Crisp candy bar is positioned as a familiar flavor variety to try out.
The candy bar is characterized by its familiar format that calls to mind the Snickers flavor that consumers have come to know and love, but has been enhanced with additional protein for a total of 20-grams per serving. This positions the 55-gram bars as the perfect hybrid snack that will satiate hunger as well as cravings for a sweet treat.
General Manger at Mars Chocolate Drinks & Treats Michelle Frost spoke on the new Snickers Hi Protein Crisp saying, "Snickers is our number one performing brand within our specialist sports range of products and seeing how well the crisp products have performed elsewhere in the business, it made sense to make Snickers Hi Protein Crisp our next new product. Snickers Hi Protein White Chocolate bar became our second best-selling protein bar after launch and has continued to perform at this level, with sales second only to our original Snickers Hi Protein bar."
