Kudos was a brand of milk chocolate granola cereal bar produced by Mars, Incorporated.
When initially launched in 1986, there were three varieties: nutty fudge, chocolate chip, and peanut butter. Other future flavors would include bits of Mars candy including Snickers, M&Ms, and Dove chocolate.[2] The original formulation of the bar was much more candy bar-like with less focus on the granola, although the original intention was to offer a healthier candy bar alternative.
The original slogan was "Kudos, I'm yours!"
Mars, Incorporated, stated in a 2017 Facebook post that the bars had officially been discontinued.[3] As of 2020, there were no plans to revive the product.[4]
