Nougat and caramel chocolate bar
Milky Way – Milk Chocolate, Caramel & Nougat Bar – Bulk Wholesale Supply (Standard Bars / Fun Size / Minis / Salted Caramel)
The Milky Way bar is a legendary confectionery brand manufactured and marketed by Mars Incorporated . First created by Frank C. Mars in 1923 and introduced nationally in 1924, the Milky Way was the first candy bar produced by the Mars company, with sales totalling $800,000 in its debut year .
There are two distinct versions of the Milky Way bar: the US/Canadian version features nougat topped with caramel and covered with milk chocolate, while the global version (sold outside North America) consists of a lighter vanilla nougat covered with milk chocolate, without a caramel layer .
The name and taste were derived from a then-popular malted milk drink (milkshake) of the day, not the astronomical galaxy .
