Portion
To burn it off
A Snickers is caramel and nougat with peanuts, wrapped in milk chocolate. One bar has 30 g of carbs, 12 g of fat and 4 g of protein, so the peanuts help but it's still a chocolate bar.
It's the one people call a meal when they're running late. At 245 kcal it's more of a big snack, and you'll probably be hungry again within the hour.
Two is 490, and a king size or a sharing bag is a different number again. The wrapper tells you which one you've got. The numbers can differ a little by country.
Tips
- 1Get the fun size from the multipack when you just want the taste.
- 2Cut it in half and save the rest for tomorrow, it keeps fine.
- 3Have it with a coffee after lunch rather than grazing on it at your desk.
Where it comes from
Snickers was launched in 1930 by Frank Mars, and the first bars were made in Chicago and sold for five cents. The story goes that it was named after one of the Mars family's favourite horses from their Milky Way Farm, and even the brand itself says allegedly. It went on to become one of the best selling chocolate bars in the world.
