Predecessor of the Milky Way bar?

Answer 1

FAT EMMA. In the early 1920s, the Pendergast Candy Company in Minneapolis introduced a candy bar with a nougat center. They planned to call it the Emma bar. But when it wound up twice as thick as expected (they accidentally put too much egg white in the mixture), they changed the name to Fat Emma. Later, Frank Mars copied the idea to create the Milky Way bar.

Answer 2

The Mars Bar is considered the predecessor of the Milky Way Bar, with a similar nougat and caramel filling covered in chocolate. Introduced in 1932 by Forrest Mars Sr., the Mars Bar inspired the creation of the Milky Way Bar in 1923 by Frank C. Mars.
