description Mars Bar Overview

The Mars Bar is a candy bar consisting of milk chocolate surrounding a layer of soft nougat and caramel. It was first manufactured in 1932 by Forrest Mars in Slough, England, adapting the earlier American Milky Way bar for the United Kingdom market. Historically, the North American version contained toasted almonds, differing from the global formulation, but it is currently produced and distributed globally by Mars, Incorporated. The product targets consumers seeking a sweet, multi-textured chocolate confection.
