Skittles And Snickers Shakes Low-Key Exist, Here Is How To Get Them In The US
Every time Burger King, Carl’s Jr. or some other fast food chain puts candy into a milkshake, people in the US go nuts. I’m sure that folks in the UK and Europe are laughing at us every time this happens, though, because they’ve had these shakes for YEARS, and in a way more accessible form.

Foodbeast’s own Elie Ayrouth spotted Snickers shakes inside of a few corner stores in Amsterdam. There were other variants of Mars shakes as well, including Mars Bars and Skittles. He described them as “like chocolate milk, but with the flavors of whatever candy was on the label.”

After doing some digging, we found that these were a product line launched by Mars’ UK branch, with the most recent forms (Skittles and Snickers) debuting in 2014. And while Ayrouth found them in Amsterdam, their availability seems to be widespread in other countries, ranging from the UK to Singapore.
Given how much we love candy-infused shakes here, it’s a shame that these haven’t made their way to the US yet. Fortunately, there IS a way that we can get them stateside.
The online retailer Yummy Bazaar carries a few flavors of the Mars beverages on their site, including Twix, M&Ms, and Snickers shakes. Priced at $4.45 each, they ship from New Jersey and can make it out at least as far as California.
You can take them on the go easily or chill them in your fridge at home to enjoy however you want. Beats having to hit the drive-thru and attempting to drink an entire shake before it melts.
