Energy drinks have replaced coffee as the beverage of choice for a quick boost. Now energized candy bars are quickly taking the place of the drinks.
Some call them "buzz bars", and they are the newest crop of candy that comes loaded wiht extra caffeine, innuendo, celebrity endorsements and, of course, chocolate.
First up is Snickers Charged, amped up with as much caffeine as a shot of espresso, plus a few additional ingredients.
Next is Dale Jr's Big Mo' bar with caramel or peanut butter fillings. It's aimes at all generations of NASCAR fans.
There are others as well including Twix Java and coming in March Starbucks branded candy bars made by Hershey Company.
So next time you need that energy rush, think candy bar. For me, I still like Baby Ruth, the official candy bar of Major League Baseball, now nearing its 90th anniversary. Sweet...
