Confectionary giant Mars is following the lead of Coca-Cola and other brands jumping on the healthy bandwagon with its new low calorie chocolate bar - its first new product in 20 years.

Called Goodness Knows, the bars are only 160 calories each and consist of fruits, oats and nuts with a layer of dark chocolate.

Snickers bars have 250 calories and Mars bars have 228 calories, making the new bar significantly healthier.

The product comes in three different types - Cranberry and Almond, Blueberry and Almond and Apple, Peanut and Almond and is due to hit UK shops on August 4.
