NEW YORK (NBC News Channel) -- A candy-maker is putting its products on a diet.

Mars, the maker of Snickers, Twix and M&M's, says it will stop selling chocolate products with more than 250 calories in them by the end of next year. Sodium levels in Mars products will be reduced by a quarter by 2015.

The company says its goal is to improve the nutritional value of its products and sell them in a more responsible way.

Is that 250 cals per bag or bar? Man I can't wait to start my new diet by stuffing my cakehole with reduced cal low sodium goodies, like a "Frozen Snickers"!
