A seasonal moulding of the standard recipe. The nougat, caramel and peanuts are unchanged; what differs is that they're formed into a shape rather than an extruded bar. That's a harder manufacturing job than a bar. An extruded Snickers is cut from a continuous rope, where a moulded shape needs the shell cast first, the layers deposited into it and a base sealed over, and the fine points of a tree outline are exactly where a shell is most likely to fail. The shape also changes the ratio. Points and edges carry proportionally more coating than the middle does, so a moulded piece eats as more chocolate and less filling than a bar of the same weight.
