Milky Way Milk Chocolate Candy Bar

Milky Way is a chocolate bar brand introduced in 1923 by Frank C. Mars, the founder of Mars, Incorporated. The original U.S. version consists of nougat topped with caramel and enrobed in milk chocolate. This confection was inspired by the popular malted milkshake of the time, not the astronomical galaxy. In 1935, a version without caramel was introduced for international markets, which is marketed as the Mars bar outside the U.S. and Canada. Mars, Incorporated, headquartered in the United States, continues to manufacture Milky Way bars in multiple countries, including the U.S., ensuring a global presence of this iconic confection.
