Snack bar

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if "snack bar" can mean something other than "a small restaurant where light meals are served"? I couldn't find any other meanings and I can't really figure out the meaning of a sentence.
I'm providing the full context:

"His family realised he was missing and a massive search was launched. But they had to wait for three long days before they finally heard that some fishermen had rescued him.
Mr Richards survived for three days on a mixture of dried noodles and snack bars which had floated ashore from his boat. Mr Richards knew he would be rescued eventually because there were a lot of boats in the area."

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this.

Thank you very much!

I soon guessed what it meant, but it sounded strange at first to this speaker of BrE.

I would tend to think of snack bars in this context as being things like granola bars, though I suppose candy bars could be snacks.
