Is Heath bar one of the best candy bars?

The Heath bar is another classic candy bar that appears in all kinds of places. Whether it be cookies,  ice cream, or other candy, the Heath bar has gone well beyond simply being enjoyed as a candy. If you haven’t tried a Heath bar Blizzard, you need to fix that immediately.

The bar is made of toffee and almonds that are covered in milk chocolate. It’s also wider and thinner than most other bars. Since it’s so crunchy, if it was any thicker, it would be hard to eat.

The candy bar was first created in the 1920s by L.S. Heath and was originally a small square bar instead of the long one we know today. They first received the toffee recipe in 1915 — they actually bought it off a salesman — but they then messed with the recipe to make it the one that became so popular.

The bar was originally called Heath English Toffee but was changed to simply Heath bar in the late 1920s. After the Heath brothers, the recipe for the bar was bought by Leaf Inc. and then Hershey’s in 1996 when it took over Leaf Inc.

When a candy bar recipe is over 100 years old, you know it’s good!
