Summit was a candy bar manufactured in the early 1980s by Mars in the United States. Labeled "cookie bars" on the packaging, [1] but "candy bars" in some advertising, [2] they 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. [3] Consumer panelists said the modifications were more gimmicky than substantive. [3] The new bar was longer, thinner, and firmer, and received mediocre reviews. [3] Keeping the bar from melting was noted as a problem. [3] Production of the bar was halted and it is no longer available. [4] [5]
