About Snickers ice cream bar
The Snickers Ice Cream Bar is a frozen dessert combining creamy vanilla ice cream with a layer of caramel and peanut pieces, all encased in milk chocolate. Inspired by the original Snickers candy bar developed by Mars, Inc. in 1930, this treat has been adapted into a popular global ice cream snack. Though indulgent and satisfying for its rich flavors, its nutritional profile reflects a high content of added sugars, fats, and calories. A single bar (approx. 61g) provides around 250 calories, 13g of fat, 21g of sugars, and about 4g of protein. It includes sources of quick energy from carbohydrates and a modest amount of protein from peanuts and dairy ingredients, but consumption should be moderated within a balanced diet due to its high saturated fat and sugar content.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy from 21g of carbohydrates found mainly in sugars, which can be helpful for short-term energy needs.
- Contains 4g of protein from milk-based ice cream and peanuts, contributing to muscle repair and maintenance.
- Rich in fats (13g total), primarily saturated fat, which, while not ideal in excess, supports energy storage and hormone production when consumed in moderation.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in the freezer at -18°C (0°F) or below to maintain texture and prevent melting. Consume promptly after removal from freezer.
