The SNICKERS Xtreme chocolate bar is making its way to retailers in the US as a revived version of the brand's filling-focused treat that hasn't been available for more than a decade. The bar starts off with the classic SNICKERS recipe with peanuts, nougat and caramel, but features more peanuts and more caramel to give it a rich, nutty taste and texture that could offer additional satisfaction for snackers. The treat is thus expected to be a welcome addition to the brand's existing offerings as a sweet snack that's perfect for enjoying as we head into the cooler weather months.
The SNICKERS Xtreme chocolate bar comes in at 210-calories per serving and sets itself apart from other varieties in the category with its red and brown branding to be easily identifiable.
