All opinion expressed is author's own, does not constitute dietary advice or official recommendation, and is entirely subjective. Upon breaking the bar open, no soft & gooey caramel was revealed. Instead, just a hardened layer of caramel that you could peel apart from the “nougat” underneath.This particular Mars bar is salted caramel flavor, and that extra hit of saltiness really comes through. This bar tastes very similar to a very generic chocolate & peanut butter protein bar, but with a crisp from the puffed rice on top. The Mars bar exists across the globe as the same candy bar… except in the US, where we call it a Milky Way. The US did have its own Mars bar at some point, but it has since been discontinued. But going on flavor alone, this truly resembles a candy bar. The caramel layer is nice and soft, and while not quite the same caramel as you’d find in a Milky Way bar, it’s not far off.

If you were to do a blind taste test, I don’t think you’d be able to tell that this was a protein bar (minus the chewiness, of course). Full disclosure: I’ve never had a Mars bar. From what I understand, the Mars bar is to candy bars as Football is to sports.Excessive consumption of these products (sweeteners) may cause digestive discomfort, especially for children under 8 years of age.

I mean, if you can take one of the best candy bars out there and infuse it with protein, it will be an absolute game-changer in the protein bar market. When this Mars Hi Protein bar is viewed through that lens, it’s actually really good! Like the other bars I tried, it is definitely on the dense side, so it is overall chewier than a Milky Way. Ingredients: MILK Chocolate (22%) (Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Skimmed MILK Powder, Cocoa Mass, Palm Fat, Lactose (MILK), Sweet WHEY Powder(MILK), Milk Fat, Whey Protein (MILK), Emulsifier (SOYA Lecithin), Natural Vanilla Flavouring), Caramel Layer (14%) (Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Condensed MILK, Invert Sugar Syrup, Cocoa Butter, Humectant Glycerol, Emulsifier (Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids), Natural Flavouring, Salt, Colour Plain Caramel), MILK Protein, COLLAGEN Hydrolysate, Roasted PEANUTS (9.9%) (PEANUTS), Humectant (Glycerol), Palm Fat, SOYA Protein, Oligofructose, Glucose Syrup, Fat-Reduced Cocoa Powder (1.4%), Flavouring, Natural Flavouring, Colour (Plain Caramel). May Contain: GLUTEN, EGGS and NUTS.Across the globe, every nation recognizes Football as the same sport…except the US, where we call it soccer. To make it even more confusing, the Milky Way bar exists in other parts of the world, but it’s much more similar to the US version of a 3 Muskateers bar. Talk about confusing!

Sure, it contains peanuts and somewhat of a caramel flavor, but it doesn’t eat at all like a candy bar. The nougat layer (if you can call it that) is very dense & chewy, and it tastes very much like a generic protein bar. There are many bars out there that have this particular flavor profile, so if you’ve ever had a very basic protein bar (Pure Protein bars are a good example) then you’ll know exactly what I mean. This product is not intended to be a meal replacement and should be consumed as part of a healthy diet. For the purposes of this review, we’ll consider a Mars bar to be virtually the same thing as a US Milky Way bar. I’ll give my honest thoughts on each individual bar, but I will say this: overall, the UK versions of these bars are significantly better than the US version.
