The aptly named category of stores is designed so shoppers can run in to grab a coffee, a soft drink, a snack, or maybe a custom-made sandwich, and be out the door in about five minutes. Research shows that “half of the U.S. population ages 14 and over shops at a convenience store once a day. With that volume of customer engagement, it makes sense that brands would focus on creating convenience store-friendly or exclusive products.

Candy lovers can now often find them in the freezer section of grocery and convenience stores. Recently, Butterfinger, 100 Grand, and Baby Ruth all got an ice cream bar makeover, and now M&M's and Snickers are getting the ice cream bar treatment, too.
