The most famous candy today made by the Mars candy company M&Ms they were good because the chocolate did not melt .
The Logan bar
While It seems every one wants to say M&Ms I could not verify this anywhere. These are the candies that I have found proper citations for.
Field Ration D
An emergency ration, proposed for the cavalry in 1932, is generally considered the direct forerunner of Field Ration D. The item then suggested was a 12-ounce bar of equal parts of bitter chocolate, sugar, and peanut butter. Although palatable, the experimental bar had poor keeping qualities, was thirst-provoking, and had poor acceptance. While it did not progress beyond the experimental stage, it did provide groundwork for experiments on -a concentrated ration which were initiated by the Subsistence School in 1935.
Originally, the 1935 development was called the Logan bar in recognition of Col. Paul Logan, then head of the Subsistence School. The Logan bar was designed to provide the highest possible caloric value in the smallest package and yet retain sufficient palatability to be used daily. Its ingredients were chocolate, sugar, oat flour, cacao fat, skim milk powder, and artificial flavoring. Three 4-ounce bars-wrapped in aluminum foil, then over wrapped and sealed in parchment paper-constituted a ration. Despite the requirement that it qualify for continued daily use, the Logan bar was never considered by its developers for other than emergency or stopgap purposes. It was procured on an experimental basis in 1937 and was submitted for field trials during the ensuing year. Although judged by the tests to be satisfactory only as an emergency ration, the bar was proposed for "standardization" in 1939 in the dual capacity of both a "reserve" and an "emergency" ration. The spirited discussion of the conflicting concept of the new ration implied in this dual designation had the happy result of bringing about a revision of the Army regulation covering rations and of identifying the bar as Field Ration D, the official emergency ration.25
By June of 1940, a tentative specification had been written and the Army was in position to inaugurate large-scale procurement of D bars. Trial production brought refinements to the method of manufacture but wrought no basic change in original structure and composition. Full-scale production was initiated in 1941 and monthly output swelled from 200,000 in September 1941 to ten million a year later.
1. The "Montagnard" bar, named because the GIs often tossed them to children encountered near villages, etc. This was a circular shaped solid chocolate cookie, shaped like a circle because it came in a can (a B1 or B2 unit can, so labeled). Or a coconut filled cirular candy bar. Solid rectangular bars were also issued, but they came from other sources, not normally C ration cans. Montagnard was French for "Mountain People."
2. Those main candies were individually wrapped and then placed into the tin cans. Beneath those circular candy bars were usually round shaped crackers, ususally 3 or 4 of them.
3. If no candy bar was present, then the B2 or B3 unit can (which was half the height of the other cans) there was an even shorter can containing either cheese or peanut butter inside the B2/B3 unit with those 3 or 4 round crackers underneath the shorter can.
Many GIs in Vietnam favored the cheese and cracker B units. The candy and peanut butter was the least popular. The short peanut butter cans (about 1/2" in height) were often tossed into the fire pits upon leaving a NDP site. When the fire reached the cans, they usually popped (exploded) and GIs used to call them "peanut butter ambushes."
NDP sites (Night Defensive Positions) were most often used by mechanized/cavalry/tank units. Fires were not used nor allowed at night time; but in the morning when departing for another AO (Area of Operation) a trash pit was dug and then burned.

Although it is not a candy bar, M&Ms were also include in soldiers' field rations. In fact the Mars Candy Company developed them for just this purpose.Hersheys .
