Hackettstown, N.J., March 9, 2010 -- Mars Chocolate North America has announced the introduction of goodnessKnows luscious snacksquares in Boulder, Colo.

Each serving of goodnessKnows is nestled in an extraordinary deep chocolate -- a special Mars recipe that delivers 200 mg of bio-available cocoa flavanols, phytonutrients that have been shown to help support healthy circulation, which aids the free flow of nutrients and oxygen throughout the body," Mars explained.

Each four-square serving has 150 calories and delivers 2-3 grams of fiber, 3 grams of protein, 200 mg of cocoa flavanols and only 20-35 mg of sodium. goodnessKnows luscious snacksquares are available in single servings and multi-packs and sell for a suggested retail price of $1.59 and $4.99 respectively.
