I tasted supermarket Mars dupes – the winner is three times cheaper

At £1.11 per 100g, the classic Mars bar is more than twice as expensive as the cheapest products we tried – but not twice as good.

The packaging said they contained a "candy crème" instead of nougat – but wasn't noticeably different. Left a greasy aftertaste.
