Snickers, KFC India join forces with limited-edition choco mousse cake

INDIA – In an unexpected crossover between fried chicken and confectionery, KFC India and Snickers India have unveiled a co-created dessert – the KFC x Snickers Choco Mousse Cake. 

The launch signals a bold move as two iconic brands from very different food categories team up, blending KFC’s quick-service dining with Snickers’ chocolate indulgence.

The limited-edition cake features layers of chocolate-soaked sponge topped with a rich chocolate cream cheese mousse and finished with finely chopped Snickers pieces. 

Designed as the perfect finale to a KFC meal, the collaboration reflects a growing trend in the food sector where cross-brand partnerships are creating buzzworthy offerings aimed at younger, experience-driven consumers.

KFC India, which has been in the country for 30 years, described the dessert as its first-ever co-created product. Aparna Bhawal, Chief Marketing Officer for KFC India & Partner Countries, said the partnership was about delivering something unexpected.

“Who would’ve imagined KFC and Snickers on the same plate? That’s the fun of this collaboration,” she noted, adding that the brand has been focused on launching clutter-breaking innovations alongside its core menu,” she said.

Bhawal emphasized that the Choco Mousse Cake brings together the craveable nature of KFC with the indulgent identity of Snickers, creating “the ultimate finger-lickin’ good finale.”

From Snickers’ perspective, the partnership reflects a shift in strategy towards tapping into experiential dining moments. 

Nikhil Rao, Chief Marketing Officer at Mars Wrigley India, which owns Snickers, said the dessert speaks to a new generation of consumers looking for more than just taste. 

“Today’s Gen Z audience seeks fresh, share-worthy experiences that blend the familiar with the unexpected,” he explained. 

Rao added that the KFC tie-up elevates Snickers beyond its chocolate bar status, making it part of a dessert experience “crafted for food explorers who crave something bold and exciting.”

The KFC x Snickers Choco Mousse Cake is priced from ₹129 (US$1.45) and will be available for a limited period across more than 1,300 KFC outlets in India. Customers can order it for dine-in, takeaway, or through the KFC app, website, and leading delivery platforms.

This collaboration highlights how cross-category partnerships are transforming the food landscape in India, when it comes to satisfying cravings.
