Yeah beyond the reasons why free will is absurd the Snickers bar wasn't even a good example lol
A much better example would be a choice that seems to be free of external factors. Like the exercise Sam Harris gives - I want you to think of a country, any country in the world and to pick a city. If evidence of free will is anywhere it should be there because that's as free of a decision you're ever going to make. After you pick that city ... do you see any evidence for free will at all? Why did you not pick any other city? Because they didn't occur to you? Are you free to pick that which did not occur to you?
