More sugar by weight than an equivalent-sized Mars Bar isn't quite true here — Snickers actually runs slightly lower on sugar thanks to the peanuts, but makes up for it with more saturated fat.

Milk chocolate (48%) covered peanuts (24%) in a sugar shell. Ingredients: Sugar, Peanuts, Cocoa Mass, Vegetable Oil (Palm Fat, Shea Fat), Glucose Syrup, Skimmed Milk Powder, Full Cream Milk Powder, Whey Permeate (Milk), Milk Fat, Thickener (Dextrin – INS 1400), Glazing Agent (Carnauba Wax – INS 903), Stabiliser (Gum Arabic – INS 414), Colourants (Calcium Carbonate, Carmine, Brilliant Blue FCF – INS 133, Curcumin, Carotenes, Beta-apo-8'-carotenal – INS 160a/160e).

Carmine (INS 120)
A red colourant extracted from crushed cochineal insects. Long-used and generally recognised as safe, but is animal-derived (relevant for vegetarians/vegans) and can trigger allergic reactions in a small number of people.
Brilliant Blue FCF (INS 133)
Synthetic blue dye. Generally considered lower-concern than the azo dyes (Ponceau 4R, Tartrazine), though still a fully synthetic colourant.
Curcumin (INS 100)
The natural yellow-orange pigment from turmeric. Low concern, a well-studied natural colour.
Carotenes (INS 160a)
Natural orange/yellow pigments found in carrots and other produce. Low concern.
β-apo-8'-carotenal (INS 160e)
Nature-identical carotenoid colour with some vitamin A activity. Approved food colour, low concern.
Dextrin (INS 1400)
A starch-derived thickener, produced by heating/treating starch. Low concern, similar profile to maltodextrin.
Carnauba Wax (INS 903)
A plant-derived wax (from the carnauba palm) used as a glazing agent for shine. Low concern, widely used on candy shells.
Gum Arabic (INS 414)
A natural gum from acacia tree sap, used as a stabiliser/thickener. Low concern, also a source of soluble fibre.
Calcium Carbonate
Common calcium fortification mineral. Low concern, essentially a nutrient source.

Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil
A hardened tropical fat used in place of some cocoa butter for texture and shelf stability, common in compound/lower-cost chocolate.

Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil
A hardened tropical fat used in place of some cocoa butter for texture and shelf stability, common in compound/lower-cost chocolate. The hydrogenation process is the classic route trans fat enters a product — worth checking the trans fat line on any product using it, even though levels are typically low on modern labels.
Soya Lecithin
Common emulsifier from soybeans. Low concern except for those with soy allergy.

Cocoa Butter Substitute
Non-cocoa vegetable fat (often palm-based) used to replace some cocoa butter — cheaper and more heat-stable, but a lower-quality substitute than real cocoa butter. Not a toxicity concern.
Ascorbyl Palmitate (INS 304)
Fat-soluble form of Vitamin C used as an antioxidant to keep fats from going rancid. Low concern, essentially a nutrient derivative.
Soya Lecithin
Common emulsifier from soybeans. Low concern except for those with soy allergy.
