A Mars spokesperson told The Mirror: ‘Mars’ lovers rejoice, as for the first time ever, you can now experience the distinctive taste of a Mars bar as a spread.
‘Stir the new Mars spread into your daily oats, top your toast or pancake, add to your favourite bake, transform your barbecued bananas or dip in some strawberries. The possibilities are endless.’
The new 200g product follows the chocolate giant’s popular M&Ms and Maltesers spreads.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, rival Cadbury delighted fans by launching chocolate orange Dairy Milk bars.

The British chocolate giant’s fruit-infused sweet treat costs £2.49 for 180g and has the same melt-in-your-mouth taste as a standard Dairy Milk bar with the added smooth zest of orange.
It comes after 2020 became the ‘year of chocolate orange’ with dozens of confectioners launching citrus and cocoa products.
Starting in late 2019, Twirl launched a chocolate orange flavour, Mars Wrigley also launched chocolate orange Galaxy bars.
Throughout 2020, Cadbury’s launched their own chocolate orange buttons, and fingers, while Toblerone, and Tesco also got in on the action launching chocolate orange bourbons.
