In 2021, Donaldson enlisted Jim Murray, the former president of protein bar company
Rxbar , to help him build the Feastables product. Murray later became co-founder and CEO of the company.

The original Feastables Bar (then-known as the MrBeast Bar), prior to the redesign
At launch, Feastables offered 3 flavors of bars, "Original", "Almond" and "Quinoa Crunch". The launch corresponded with a sweepstakes campaign with over $1 million in prizes, including 10 grand prize winners who would receive a chance to compete for a chocolate factory in a future video, a reference to
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory .
[3] The video was released in June 2022, which featured
Gordon Ramsay as a cake judge and a $500,000 cash prize.
[4]
[5] The video contained a series of elimination challenges where the winner won the chocolate factory, and had cameos from
competitive eaters
Matt Stonie and
Joey Chestnut .
[6] On February 2, 2022, Feastables announced partnerships with
Turtle Beach Corporation and
Roccat to provide prizes for the sweepstakes.
[7]
[8] Feastables reportedly made $10 million in its first few months of operation.
[9]
On March 3, 2023, Donaldson asked fans on Twitter to "clean up the presentation" of Feastables displays on store shelves. Feastables offered fans entry into a $5,000 raffle if they provided proof of their assistance. The tweets drew criticism and accusations that Feastables was exploiting fans for unpaid labor.

[11]
On April 7, 2023, Donaldson revealed that Feastables collaborated with
Karl Jacobs , a secondary host for MrBeast, to release a line of gummy candy called "Karl Gummies".
[12]
[13]
Initially available only at
Walmart , in May 2023 Feastables became available at
7-Eleven locations, including
Speedway and
Stripes locations.

[16] In July 2023, Donaldson announced that Feastables was launched in the UK in every

[17] Feastables expanded to Australia and New Zealand in September 2023 with the chocolate bars available at
Woolworths and
Countdown supermarkets in their respective countries.
[18]

On October 2, 2023, MrBeast announced that Feastables had teamed up with the
Charlotte Hornets to debut a new logo and become their official jersey patch sponsor for the
2023–24 NBA season .
[22]
[23]
In February 2024, the new logo officially started appearing in packages and the recipe of the bar was changed. The name of "MrBeast Bar" was dropped and the "Deez Nutz" bar was renamed to "Peanut Butter" due to a lawsuit by the flavored peanut company “Dee’s Nuts”.
[24]
In April 2024, Featables expanded in Canada releasing the rebranded bars in
Loblaws stores across Canada including
Shoppers ,
Real Canadian Superstore ,
Loblaws ,
Your Independent Grocer , and many more.

In May 2024, Feastables is set to be released in EU, starting off in
