25 best candy bars of all time

Is Milky Way one of the best candy bars?

The Milky Way bar is another classic because of its taste and its simplicity. The bar consists of a layer of nougat topped with caramel and then the whole thing is covered in chocolate. It’s similar to the 3 Musketeers bar, it just happens to have caramel and the nougat isn’t as fluffy.

The Milky Way was first created in 1924 and was the first candy bar ever made by the Mars Company. What a way to start!

When it first came out, there were two varieties: the chocolate one we all know and love and a vanilla nougat version that had a dark chocolate coating. The chocolate nougat clearly won out as the more popular but the vanilla version eventually turned into Milky Way Dark and then Milky Way Midnight.

The Milky Way is definitely one of those candy bars you eat for a while. The chewiness of the nougat and the caramel ensures it’s definitely sticking to your teeth whether you want it to or not. But the snap of the chocolate and the gooey, chewy inside is what’s made it last almost 100 years.

The Milky Way is also another one of those candy bars that you see a ton of on Halloween. I remember getting a bunch of them in the pillowcase  I used as my trick-or-treat bag.

But whether you’re eating the fun-size bar out of your kid’s Halloween stash or picking one up while you’re checking out at the grocery store, a Milky Way never lets you down in the flavor department.
