Protein Versions of Your Favourite Candy Bars & M&M's in Canada

Looking for a protein Snickers, a protein M&M's or a protein Reese's in Canada? The good news: high-protein, lower-sugar versions of your favourite candy bars now exist - and we import and stock the best of them at our Montreal shop. Our top owner-tested picks are the officially branded Mars, Snickers, Bounty & M&M's Protein Bar (about 18 g protein), Quest Keto Coated Candies as an M&M's-style swap (10 g protein, 1 g sugar) and Quest Peanut Butter Cups for the Reese's craving (11 g protein, under 1 g sugar). Every product below is in stock and ships across Canada from Montreal, with free shipping on qualifying orders.

These are treats with a better macro profile - higher in protein and much lower in sugar than the original candy - not medicine or a substitute for a balanced diet. Original-candy figures below are approximate published label values and can vary by size and market; always check the on-pack panel.

The classics, and the protein version we carry

Snickers, Mars & Bounty → Mars Hi-Protein Bar

The Mars, Snickers, Bounty & M&M's Protein Bar (single) - also sold as a box of 12 - is made by Mars itself, the company behind the original Snickers. A 57 g bar delivers around 18 g of protein with real nougat, caramel and peanuts, and far less sugar than a classic Snickers (a standard 52.7 g Snickers is roughly 250 calories with about 27 g sugar and only ~4 g protein). Prefer a cookie? The Mars & Snickers Hi-Protein Cookie is a soft-baked cookie with about 15 g protein per 60 g cookie. For a copycat alternative in the same nougat-caramel style, the Grenade Carb Killa bar and Barebells bar are also strong sellers.

M&M's → Quest Keto Coated Candies

Our owner's hero pick for the M&M's craving is Quest Keto Coated Candies: crunchy, candy-shell-coated chocolatey pieces built like a high-protein candy. A 49 g pack has 10 g protein, just 1 g sugar and about 3-4 g net carbs, sweetened with erythritol - versus a standard 47.9 g bag of milk-chocolate M&M's at roughly 240 calories, about 31 g sugar and only ~2 g protein. They are gluten-free and keto-friendly, and genuinely scratch the candy-coated-chocolate itch.

Reese's → Quest Peanut Butter Cups

The Quest Peanut Butter Cups (2-cup package) - or the box of 12 - are a Reese's-style chocolate-and-peanut-butter cup with 11 g protein, 4 g fibre and under 1 g of sugar per 42 g package (200 calories). A standard two-cup pack of the original is roughly 210 calories with about 22 g sugar and ~4-5 g protein, so the protein roughly doubles while the sugar all but disappears. Contains milk, peanuts and soy.

Milky Way & classic caramel bars → Quest Candy Bar

The Quest Candy Bar (single) or box of 12 rebuilds the caramel-and-chocolate candy-aisle experience with 15 g protein, about 2 g sugar and 210 calories per bar. For comparison, a classic caramel-nougat bar such as a Milky Way (~52 g) is roughly 240 calories with about 31 g of sugar and ~2 g of protein. Gluten-free.

Kit Kat & wafer bars → Applied Nutrition Protein Wafer

The Applied Nutrition Protein Wafer Bar (single) - also a box of 12 - is a light, crispy chocolate-coated wafer with about 10 g protein and no added sugar per 39 g bar (sweetened with maltitol), in Milk Chocolate Caramel, Peanut and Pistachio. A four-finger Kit Kat (~45 g) is roughly 210 calories with about 22 g sugar and only ~3 g protein.

Oatmeal cream pie → Redefine Foods Skippy Oatmeal Protein Pie

Harder to find anywhere else in Canada, the Redefine Foods Skippy Oatmeal Protein Pie is a soft oatmeal sandwich pie made with real SKIPPY peanut butter, 15 g protein and about 10 g fibre per pie - with no sugar alcohols and no artificial sweeteners, non-GMO and made with gluten-free oats. A nostalgic take on the classic oatmeal cream pie. Contains milk and peanuts.

Lucky Charms & Cinnamon Toast Crunch → Ghost High Protein Cereal

For the cereal-bowl crowd, Ghost High Protein Cereal is an officially licensed General Mills collaboration - real Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Peanut Butter flavours with 17-18 g protein and about 170 calories per serving, and a fraction of the sugar of the original cereals. Note it contains milk and soy and is not gluten-free.
