Snickers Bar the world's most famous candy bar

I just got home from a long night at work and i wanna grab something to eat. As a Filipino, rice is our staple of food and i’m thinking rice again? I need something sinfully rewarding and that’s it, i need chocolate to perk me up and lift up my spirits.

I convinced my daughter to give me her snickers bar and i was eyeing for that bar since the other day. Today, i said to my self i want that bar in the fridge and that bar alone.  I could’ve bought myself 1 before going home but I want that bar in the fridge.

So, upon running my fingers thru the snitchy wrapper, avoiding to smear chocolates to my other fingers i slowly tear out the wrapper and success! i am about to sink in my teeth to a nice scnickers bar.

Here’s a brief Snickers Bar history.

History: SNICKERS® Bar was first manufactured in 1930. The SNICKERS® Bar was named after a favorite horse owned by the Mars® family. SNICKERS® Bar is the number one selling candy bar in the United States. It is made of peanut butter nougat, topped with caramel and peanuts, and covered with milk chocolate. The best selling candy bar of all time and has an annual sales of US $2 billion.

If you are figure conscious i wouldnt recommend eating this bar for everyday. It’s kinda cool to eat it for 1 every two weeks and as a reward could be once in every week. This bar is a good source of energy especially if your hungry. Good source of protein as well because of the peanuts and energy because of the sugar content. this bar is also not for kids with hyper-activity problem because of sugar rush.

 

Anyways, im done with my snickers bar and i’m expecting more energy to be released to keep the juices flowing and write more blogs.

 

Peace out!
