Balisto



Balisto is a wholemeal biscuit bar snack manufactured by Mars, Incorporated, consisting of a digestive biscuit centre and a variety of milky cream toppings, and coated in milk chocolate.

Normally, there are two fingers in a package, though the multipack contains ten fingers wrapped individually. They are available in Ireland, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Slovenia, Hungary and Italy. In Spring 2011, the bars were introduced to the United Kingdom

When the Balisto bar was released in 1981 it was produced by Mars, Incorporated in West Germany. Its name supposedly alludes to its dietary fibre content ("Ballaststoffe" in German).
