What is the Snickers Hi Protein Low Sugar Bar?
The Snickers Hi Protein Low Sugar Bar is Mars' premium protein bar in the Snickers format — a 57g bar delivering 20g of protein with only 2g of sugar, in three distinct flavours that all preserve the core Snickers architecture of peanuts, caramel and chocolate. At 217 to 232 kcal per bar, it is the highest-protein product in the Protein by Mars stocked range.
Three flavours are stocked. Milk Chocolate is the original Snickers Hi Protein Low Sugar format — roasted peanuts (11%), caramel-flavoured layer (11%), milk chocolate coating with sweetener (19%), milk protein, collagen hydrolysate and peanut paste — the direct low-sugar high-protein reformulation of the classic Snickers bar. White Chocolate replaces the milk chocolate coating with a white chocolate coating with sweetener (19%), maintaining the same peanuts, caramel layer and protein matrix — for a creamier, sweeter and lighter flavour experience. Hazelnut is the most distinctive of the three: it adds hazelnut paste (3%) to the peanut base (12%) — creating a genuine Snickers-Hazelnut hybrid with a rich, nutty complexity that exceeds the Milk and White Chocolate variants in flavour depth.
All three variants are sweetened with maltitol and contain no added sugar beyond the naturally occurring sugars in the milk-based ingredients (~1.9 to 2g per bar). Not suitable for vegetarians (bovine collagen hydrolysate).
20g of protein. 2g of sugar. Three flavours. The premium Snickers protein bar.

💪 20g of protein per 57g bar — the highest protein content in the Mars Hi Protein range
At 20g per 57g bar, the Snickers Hi Protein Low Sugar Bar provides the highest protein content of any product in the stocked Protein by Mars range. The protein comes from milk protein (casein and whey fractions), collagen hydrolysate (bovine collagen peptides for connective tissue support) and whey protein as a tertiary fraction.
🥜 Real peanuts (11 to 12%) — the defining Snickers inclusion
All three variants contain real roasted peanuts as a declared ingredient — 11% in Milk Chocolate and White Chocolate, 12% in Hazelnut. These are genuine peanuts that contribute natural peanut fat (predominantly monounsaturated oleic acid), plant protein, natural crunch and authentic Snickers flavour.
🌰 Hazelnut variant: hazelnut paste (3%) — a genuinely distinctive flavour dimension
The Hazelnut variant adds 3% hazelnut paste to the peanut base — creating a layered nut flavour complexity that elevates the bar beyond the two-dimensional peanut profile of the Milk and White Chocolate variants. The hazelnut paste contributes the characteristic smooth, roasted hazelnut flavour that defines premium confectionery combinations.
🚫 ~2g of sugar across all 3 flavours — consistent low-sugar guarantee
All three stocked variants deliver approximately 2g of total sugars per bar — from naturally occurring lactose in the milk-based ingredients. The sweetener system uses maltitol (bulk sweetener) and sorbitol (humectant) to maintain the characteristic sweetness and texture of a confectionery bar without any added sugar.
🤍 White Chocolate variant — the sweeter, creamier alternative
The White Chocolate coating (maltitol-based) creates a distinctively creamier, sweeter and lighter exterior than the Milk Chocolate variant — making it the most dessert-like of the three in terms of flavour profile.
🎯 Goal guide
🏋️ Mass gain: 1 to 2 bars/day. 20g of protein per bar — the most protein-dense bar in the Mars Hi Protein range.
🔥 Weight loss / cutting: 1 bar/day. ~2g of sugar per bar — fully compatible with strict low-sugar and ketogenic dietary approaches.
⚖️ Body recomposition: 1 bar/day post-workout. Maximum protein at minimum sugar — the optimal protein-snack ratio in the Mars range.
Serving suggestion
Open the wrapper and consume directly. No preparation required. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Best consumed as a post-workout snack, between meals or as a low-sugar dessert substitute.
Best times to enjoy it
🏋️ Post-workout — the primary use case
20g of milk protein and whey protein within 30 to 45 minutes of training provides a complete multi-source protein dose during the peak anabolic window. The peanuts provide additional slow-release fat for sustained satiety.
🚫 Replacing conventional Snickers bars
A standard Snickers bar contains approximately 28g of sugar at similar weight. The Hi Protein Low Sugar version provides 20g of protein and 2g of sugar — a 95% reduction in sugar and a fivefold increase in protein. For Snickers fans managing sugar intake, this bar is the direct, taste-matched replacement.
🌙 Evening low-sugar dessert
All three flavours are genuinely dessert-like in eating quality. Hazelnut is the most complex and indulgent, Milk Chocolate is the most classic, White Chocolate is the sweetest and creamiest. At 217 to 232 kcal and ~2g of sugar, any of the three functions as a highly satisfying post-dinner protein treat.

Individually wrapped, shelf-stable and compact — the most convenient high-protein low-sugar confectionery-style snack available.

Q1 — What makes the Hazelnut variant different from Milk Chocolate and White Chocolate?
The Hazelnut variant adds 3% hazelnut paste to the peanut base (12% peanuts vs 11% in the other two), creating a layered nut flavour that is distinctly more complex. Hazelnuts are a declared allergen in the Hazelnut variant — individuals with tree nut allergies must avoid it specifically, even if they can tolerate the Milk and White Chocolate variants.
Q2 — How does the Snickers Hi Protein Low Sugar Bar compare to a standard Snickers bar?
A standard Snickers bar (50g) contains approximately 28g of sugar and 4g of protein. The Snickers Hi Protein Low Sugar Bar (57g) contains 2g of sugar and 20g of protein — a 93% reduction in sugar and a fivefold increase in protein at a slightly larger serving size.
Q3 — Why does the Hazelnut variant also contain peanuts?
The Hazelnut variant follows the original Snickers architecture (peanuts as the core inclusion) with hazelnuts added as a flavour complement via hazelnut paste (3%). It is not a peanut-free hazelnut bar — it contains both. Individuals with peanut allergies cannot consume any of the three variants. Individuals with hazelnut/tree nut allergies must specifically avoid the Hazelnut variant.
Q4 — Why is the Snickers Hi Protein Low Sugar Bar not suitable for vegetarians?
The bar contains collagen hydrolysate from bovine (cattle) collagen — an animal structural protein used both as a secondary protein source and as a texture agent. This applies to all three flavour variants.
Q5 — Is the box of 12 more economical?
Yes. The box of 12 provides a lower cost per bar than purchasing individually. At one bar per day, the box provides 12 days of supply. All three flavours are available individually and in box format.
