Products Containing Snickers

In the early 2000s, deep fried chocolate bars (including Snickers and Mars bars) became popular at US state fairs, although they had been a local specialty in fish and chips shops in Scotland and England for some years despite containing an estimated 440 calories (1,800 J) per bar. A normal Snickers bar contains 280 calories (1,200 J).

In 2006, the UK Food Commission highlighted celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson's "Snickers pie", which contained five Snickers bars among other ingredients, suggesting it was one of the unhealthiest desserts ever; one slice providing "over 1,250 calories (5,200 J) from sugar and fat alone", more than half a day's requirement for an average adult. The pie had featured on his BBC Saturday programme some two years earlier and the chef described it as an occasional treat only.

The Cheesecake Factory restaurant bakes and sells its own "Snicker's Bar Chunks and Cheesecake" which consists of its own Original Cheesecake with whole Snickers chunks baked into it. It is topped with peanuts and drizzled with chocolate sauce for the plate presentation.
