Mars Wrigley is also set to introduce a Snickers & Friends selection box this festive season. It will feature both the traditional Snickers bar and the Snickers Creamy Duo, as well as Twix and Mars treats. The new selection box has been created with male shoppers in mind, according to Mars Wrigley. “In a sub-category that skews towards female shoppers, the launch targets male grifters who are under-indexed in selection box formats,” a spokesperson for the manufacturer said. And the Maltesers White Box will also hit shelves ahead of Christmas, following the return of the treat last year after more than a decade. The launch will aim to attract “under-35s, who over-index in white chocolate”.
