SNICKERS Peanut Butter Creamy Ice Cream Bar is Arriving in the UK

The SNICKERS Peanut Butter Creamy ice cream bar has been added to the brand's frozen product portfolio by Mars Drinks & Treats as a candy bar-inspired confection for the premium handheld ice cream category.

The product starts off with roasted peanuts, nougat and caramel with a layer of peanut butter ice cream that's all coated in a milk chocolate shell. The product thus features the taste and texture inspiration of the classic SNICKERS candy bar, but elevates it with a decidedly frozen composition. The bar responds to the popularity of peanut butter ice cream treats and will arrive in Iceland locations in the UK this month in six packs for £3.

General Manager Kerry Cavanaugh commented on the SNICKERS Peanut Butter Creamy ice cream bar saying, "Snickers has long been a hero brand for our ice cream range in the UK, and after the successful introduction of Snickers White ice cream bar in 2025, we see further opportunity to appeal to Snickers and peanut butter fans alike with the launch of Snickers Peanut Butter Creamy ice cream bar in 2026.”

  3. Peanut Butter Flavor Expansion — Growing consumer appetite for peanut butter-centric confections indicates room for differentiated flavor systems and ingredient pairings that command price premiums.

Industry Implications

  1. Confectionery Retail — Retail assortments blending frozen and shelf-stable candy products create potential to reconfigure merchandising and seasonal promotions around hybrid SKUs.
  2. Frozen Dessert Manufacturing — Manufacturers able to translate complex candy textures into stable frozen formulations could redefine product development pipelines and co-manufacturing partnerships.
