Summit Candy Bar
Summit Candy Bar was manufactured in the early 1980s by Mars in the United States. The candy bar consisted of two wafers covered with peanuts, all coated in chocolate.
In 1983 Mars changed to individual foil wrapping and promoted the bar as having 30% more chocolate.[1] Consumer panelists said the modifications were more gimmicky than substantive.[1] The new bar was longer, thinner, and firmer, and received mediocre reviews.[1] Keeping the bar from melting was noted as a problem.[1] Production of the bar was halted and it is no longer available.[2][3]
