Snickers Charged

[John B]

My wife ran a 16-mile trail race and one of the items in the gimme bag was a candy bar that I'd never seen before in stores in my area: the Snickers Charged. In fact, I didn't see it on a brief search of the Snickers website, so maybe it's not widely available in stores yet or maybe they're doing some test marketing.

It's pretty much the same as a regular Snickers, but it has 65 mg of caffine, which is about the same as a weak cup of coffee, and 250mg of taurine, which is supposed to provide an energy boost.

The combination of the chocolate, nuts, caffine, and tauine provides a decent kick in the butt of energy.

If you carry Snickers and want something with an extra wham, try them out if you can find them.

There are some places that have them:

These were in the stores around April/May and then disappeared. I loved them and took them on two section hikes - ate 2 a day. I love Snickers anyway but I found these not to be quite as sweet as a regular Snickers. I can't eat the Almond Snickers - I love almonds but the flavoring of them in the Snickers was just vile.

I also got one of these as they were giving them out at 8-K I ran on Thanksgiving. I couldn't tell a difference between it and a regular snickers

Never had one but I do carry the regular snickers bar. But when I eee one I will add it to my arsenal.
