The programme sees two professional chefs compete to recreate a brand-name snack or fast food item. The chefs present their replica snack to a panel of judges composed of workers involved with the manufacture of the snack, and the chef who is decided to have most faithfully recreated the snack wins the competition.[3] During each episode, presenter Jayde Adams visits the factory that manufactures each snack, comparing how accurately the chefs are recreating the process.[4]

Snackmasters was nominated for a BAFTA award in the Best Feature category at the 2020 British Academy Television Awards.[2]

An Australian adaptation of the show was first broadcast in November 2021 on the Nine Network.[5] A New Zealand adaptation premiered on TVNZ 2 in April 2022.
