Find the probability of drawing 1 snicker first then the probability of drawing another snicker after that, then multiply them together. For the first choice, the probability of drawing a Snickers is 28/33 (snickers/total candy bars). For the second choice, there are only 32 candy bars left, 27 of which are Snickers. So that probability is 27/32, so...
The probability of BOTH things happening is their product 756/1,056 which is 63:88
