Grab the recipe along with some things you didn't know about snickers ;)

Founded in 1930

Frank Mars, the founder of Mars, Inc. (originally called Mar-O-Bar Co.), invented the Snickers bar in 1930.

Named After a Horse

The candy bar is named after one of Frank Mars’ favorite horses, Snickers. But until 1990, the bar was sold under the name “Marathon” in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, and Ireland.

Best-Selling Candy Bar in the World

Snickers are sold in more than 70 countries and annual global sales total more than $2 billion, making it the best-selling candy bar in the world.

It Originally Cost Five Cents

When it was first sold in 1930, a Snickers bar was only five cents. Today, it costs about a dollar or two.

Double Snickers

A Snickers bar wasn’t always a single bar. For a short time between 1933 and 1935, it was sold as a two-piece bar and called “Double Snickers.”

That's a Lot of Peanuts

Peanuts are one of the star ingredients in a Snickers bar, and each bar contains about 16 peanuts. About 100 tons of peanuts go into making the 15 million Snickers bars that are produced every day.

Pattern on the Bottom of the Bar

The pattern that forms on the bottom of every Snickers bar comes from the conveyer belt on which bars cool at the Mars factory.

Shrek-Colored Snickers

When the movie Shrek the Third was released in theaters in 2007, Mars, Inc. introduced a limited-edition Snickers bar that had a green-colored nougat layer.

U.S. Soldiers Love Snickers

During the first Gulf War in 1991, every U.S. soldier was sent a frozen Snickers bar as a Thanksgiving treat. *source
