<P> In 1930 , Mars introduced Snickers , named after the favorite horse of the Mars family . The Snickers chocolate bar consists of nougat , peanuts , and caramel with a chocolate coating . The bar was marketed under the name `` Marathon '' in the UK and Ireland until July 19 , 1990 , when Mars decided to align the UK product with the global Snickers name ( Mars had marketed and discontinued an unrelated bar named Marathon in the United States during the 1970s ) . There are also several other Snickers products such as Snickers mini , dark chocolate , ice cream bars , Snickers with almonds , Snickers with hazelnuts , Snickers peanut butter bars , Snickers protein and Snickers with Extra Caramel . </P>
