Guessing Game



 “Hmm, I’m craving for something caramel, chocolate and chewy!” I’m not talking about a Twix or a Caramello, and it’s not some kind of dessert bar that someone makes. But here’s the deal, I’m going to give you some information, and I’m going to see who can name the candy bar first for a winning prize.

It’s a chocolate bar made of malt nougat topped with caramel and covered with milk chocolate and on the other hand, without the caramel, is similar to a 3 Musketeers bar. The chocolate for this chocolate candy bar was supplied by Hershey’s. It was created in 1923 by Frank C. Mars and was manufactured in Minneapolis, Minnesota (Wikipedia Para 2). It was first commercially distributed filled chocolate bar. The name and taste was taken from a malted milkshake who supposedly Forrest Mars, son of Frank, came up with the idea and told his father. Though Frank was the one who came up the name of the chocolate bar that we all American enjoy eating this sweet snack.

On March 10, 1925, this trademark was registered in the U.S. claiming a first- use of 1922 and in 1924 this yummy bar was introduced nationally and was sold 800,000 that year and 8.2 million today (Wikipedia Para 3). 

It was at first called the Forever Yours bar.  It remained until 1979 when it was discontinued but due to popular demand, the Forever Yours bar returned in 1989 and was renamed to what we know today, the chocolate and vanilla was forever parted.

There are two version of this enjoyable snack, the American or the European and Australian version. The European and Australian version is pretty much the same but without caramel and the nougat is much lighter. It was also distributed by the Mars Confectionary company.

Have you figured out what candy bar I’m talking about, if not here is a hint; “The sweet you can eat between meals without ruining your appetite” or “Comfort in every bar.” These slogans were first said when this chocolate bar were bitten into.

This candy bar is what we call sweet, tasty and has a lot of calories. It can make every kids day bright up or even the adults that want to have snack during their break. I believe that this is one of my favorite chocolate candy bars next to the snickers, and now I’m sure you are wondering what it is. Well, I’m not going to tell you! If you can be the FIRST to tell me what kind of chocolate candy bar it is, and I’ll bring that candy bar in for you.

Lets see who wins! :)
