In case you've been somehow absent from the moving-world, I will inform you on the chocolaty goodness of a Snickers. Snickers is a peanut, nougat, and caramel filled chocolate candy bar made by Mars, Inc. Snickers comes in the form of candy bars, energy bars, icecream, and even certain dessert foods like cake. The Mars family named the bar after it's favorite horse, Snickers, in 1930.

Most recently, Snickers have even come in a variety of flavors. My favorite, is the Almond Snickers. It has all the normal ingredients as the original Snickers, in exchange of peanuts for almonds. Yummy!

Alternatives:
Alternatives for your favorite snack are never nice. Well, they're not supposed to be, because if they were as good as the real, no one would eat the more fattening one! Personally, I would recommend the Atkins Advantage chocolate, peanut, and nougat bar. The chocolate's not as great, but it will do when you can't have the original. The Atkins bar is low in carbohydrates, sugars, and calories (in comparison to the Snickers).
