No nut snickers?

37 replies

Just had a snickers and for moment I thought it was a mars as there were barely any nuts in it!

Is it just me getting a random one or is this a COL thing and they’ve gone to shit?

I remember a very memorable packed lunch when I was about 8 - my salt and shake crisps had no packet of salt and my kitkat had no wafer in 😂

Love a waferless kitkat

This thread is so bad. I'm on a panic diet for the summer hols and all was going well until now. All I can think about is eating a nice big fat juicy Snickers bar, goddammit.

No nuts snickers is basically a mars bar

I remember sometimes in the seventies I had a packet of salt n shake crisps with no crisps and full of blue packets of salt!

Thanks @magicstar1 I shall hunt it down!

Oh they’ve done the same to Fruit and Nut. Tiny nibbled up bits of nut. Not lovely chunks to go with the chunky raisins. Anyone know if there’s an Aldi/Lidl version with proper nut pieces?

Yes, Aldi do a lovely fruit & nut bar with whole nuts. Choceur is their brand name.

@feelingrobbed did it actually have any nuts ? If none at all it might be a miss packaged Mars bar and that would need reporting to the manufacturer.
@Crisisorchangeofheart I secretly love it if I get a waferless KitKat despite the fact I love KitKats 😂

I have exactly the same view on kitkats. I love them, but on those miraculous occasions where there is no wafer, I feel like I am in heaven!

I agree with @Auburngal, Titans are lovely you'd never believe they're a cheap version. As for me, I'm still salty about there being no walnut inside a Walnut Whip, just one (or half a one) on top. All fur coat and no knickers, that sort of thing used to be called!

Auburngal · 29/05/2025 08:52

In Aldi, you get 6 Racers for £1.29. Above them were Snickers 4 pack for £1.69. Though the latter are about 4g more per bar.

Their whole nut chocolate has loads of hazelnuts inside

KFC with no chicken in my burger meal. It was just after covid and I queued for ages. I was 9 months pregnant and cried 😂

MoonWoman69 · 28/05/2025 18:53

I remember getting a 4 finger Kit Kat once with no wafer in!!! That was a good day, but I reckon it was a fault in processing!

Will.avoid a snickers if not loaded with nuts anymore.

I once got a small bag of popcorn from.the shop. It was a chilli flavour. But it had NO flavour. Not even salty.

I was hormonal (pregnant) and contacted them (tweeted them I think). They sent me 2 big boxes of all their flavoured popcorn.
There had been an error in the flavouring section of the production line.

All chocolate and chocolate bars in this country have gone to seed apart from Dairy Milk. My favourite type of chocolate of all has always been an Easter egg chocolate shell. The Smarties one and the Buttons one were the best. Since Nestle took over Rowntrees, the Smarties one is horrible. Mondelez have always promised not to.fiddle with dairy milk so the buttons eggs seems to taste the same although I'm not 100%...

However Snickers have no such excuse as Mars have always owned them. So I've no idea what they are playing at re the nuts.

I had one yesterday for the first time in ages and I thought the same thing. Barely any nuts in it.

For research purposes I’ll buy another tomorrow.

after all the comments I’ll be switching to the Aldi version after that or giving them up for good.

Mars is nougat filling, Snickers has caramel filling. Its not just the nuts that is the differential.

I was so distracted by the lack of nuts I’ve just realised there was barely any caramel either!!

was deffo a snickers. Hopefully a bad one. I should complain. I’ve gotten lazy. Once years ago I had a tin of biscuits with the happy face jam ones in it.
the faces were all wrong and looked like devils. I spent hours the day after Boxing Day ringing the helpline to complain they’d ruined my Christmas. Ended up having to go gluten free and never had them again 💔

So basically a mars bar

JohnTheRevelator · 27/05/2025 16:03

I remember getting a Kit Kat several years ago (from a multi pack) and it was solid chocolate, no wafer. On another occasion,I had a packet of salt and shake crisps (multi pack again) that had 6 sachets of salt in it.

Sorry, I just read previous posts and see that other commenters had already beaten me to the Racers reccomendation! Glad to find other lovers of Aldi's copy cat brands on here! I'm also particularly taken with their own Jaffa Cakes, they taste nicer than the Mcvities ones, are slightly bigger, you get more in a sleeve and, of course, they're cheaper.

Everlore · 27/05/2025 15:12

We're big fans of the Aldi knock-off brands in our house, particularly the chocolate and snacks. May I reccomend their Snickers equivalent Racers? Plenty of nuts in them. My husband, who is particular about chocolate, thinks their Mars version, Titans, are every bit as good as the real thing too, though much cheaper naturally!

Mars is nougat and caramel.
Snickers is nougat, caramel and nuts.
Milky Way is just nougat.
Unless you're American then it's all different 😂

About 6 years ago, I bought some Special K Purple Berries. There were no berries in the box. Filled in the online form on the Kellogg's website. Two days later, I got £5 voucher through the post.

Try the Aldi versions of Mars and Snickers - Titan and Racer (I think) - much nicer and CHEAPER!
