Review of Snickers Marathon Energy Bars
Snickers Energy Bars?
Clif, Balance, and Luna are a few of my favorite brands when choosing energy bars, but the popular packed-with-peanuts candy bar company wants to get in on the action too with their Snickers Marathon bars. I know what you're thinking. Snickers? Making energy bars? Yep. They were designed to give good tasting energy to active, healthy people, and they come in three varieties — Energy, Nutrition, and Protein.
I find it ironic that the ingredients couldn't be found anywhere on the entire website. Wouldn't health-minded people want to know what they're eating? Seems a little sneaky. Then when I did some research, I discovered these bars contain corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup — just what I expected from a food that has Snickers on the label. The website did include the nutritional labels, so to see how these bars measure up, read more.
