What Were Kudos Bars?
Kudos bars were a type of snack bar that mixed granola with chocolate. They were created by Mars, Incorporated. Mars is famous for making many well-known candies.
A Sweet Beginning
Kudos bars first came out in 1986. When they launched, there were three main flavors. These included nutty fudge, chocolate chip, and peanut butter.
Over time, new and exciting flavors were added. Some of these new bars even included bits of other famous Mars candies. You could find flavors with pieces of Snickers, M&Ms, and even Dove chocolate.
More Like Candy?
Even though Kudos bars were called "granola bars," they were quite sweet. The first versions of the bar tasted a lot like a candy bar. They didn't focus as much on the granola part. However, the original idea was to offer a snack that was a bit healthier than a regular candy bar.
Catchy Slogan
Kudos bars had a memorable slogan. It was "Kudos, I'm yours!" This phrase helped people remember the tasty snack.
The End of Kudos Bars
Sadly, Mars, Incorporated, announced that Kudos bars were no longer being made. This news came out in 2017. They shared this information on their Facebook page. As of 2020, there were no plans to bring the product back.
