A Sweet and Caramel-Focused History

For more than 85 years, MILKY WAY® Brand has had a sweet history. Created in 1923 in the kitchen of Frank Mars, the original MILKY WAY® Bar introduced the world to its now famous combination of milk chocolate, nougat and caramel. The first ever "filled" candy bar, the MILKY WAY® Bar sold for a nickel in 1923. The smooth and delicious caramel found in MILKY WAY® Bars comes from a mixture of milk, sugar and a few other secret ingredients.

The original MILKY WAY® Bar was named after a famed malted milk drink of the day and designed to replicate the taste of malted milk shakes, which were the rage during the 1920s. As times changed and soda shops declined in popularity, the MILKY WAY® Bar has stood the test of time and is a true American classic.
