I was pleasantly surprised to find the dark chocolate variant of Snickers in the supermarket shelf. I had not seen this in a very long while. I first saw these on the shelves of convenience stores and supermarkets in Japan, and later in the duty free shops in Clark and Subic.

| Snickers cacao strong (that's Japanese katakana for cacao) |
 |
| The Japanese roughly to 230% more cacao than the usual Snickers bar. |
 |
| Like other imported products at the supermarket, there is a sticker providing a translation of ingredients, nutrition information and manufacturer's info. |
 |
| Was a little surprised to see that the importer, Mars Philippines, Inc., which is the local subsidiary of Mars Foods is located in our city. However, I was not surprised but somewhat suspicious about the bars being produced in China. |
I used to buy these by the box whenever I saw them on Clark Freeport's Puregold Duty Free shop shelves. Those were from the US rather than from Japan. It has a distinctive taste from the regular Snickers as well as other variants now available. As far as I can remember (taste-wise), its the same dark Snickers bar we enjoyed before and so I've included these in our stock of chocolates.
