I believe Mars Bars are now available only in the UK. I have located a place to order them, though, should you have a jones:

Carry on.

I like 3 Mustketeers too, tho. Tasty stuff. I especially like it Real Cold, but not frozen (you could cut your teeth on it then)

You might like those too. Perhaps they only come out for the Holiday because they aren't listed on the official website.

Anyway, one testimonial from the Inter Nets....

I second the guy who said he likes them cold.

They might be using some of the Neilsen data from my household, noting that sometimes we buy 3 Musketeers bars and we love to buy mint chocolate and dark chocolate ... and decided maybe they should sell dark mint chocolate 3 Musketeers ...

(glad to know all that scanning of UPC codes is useful)

And, once again you've proven your place as the center of the universe by implying that 3 Musketeers invented this based on data from the purchasing decisions at your house. Please add a Canada reference. For the win.

The Mars Bar is a chocolate bar manufactured by Mars Incorporated. It was first manufactured in Slough in the United Kingdom in 1932 as a sweeter version of the American Milky Way bar which Mars, Inc. produced in the USA (not to be confused with the European version of the Milky Way, which is a different confection).

A different chocolate bar with the same name was sold in the USA until 2002 when its name was changed to Snickers Almond Bar. It contained then, and still does, plain nougat, almonds, caramel and milk chocolate.[1]

Maybe they were discontinued in the US because they were just a normal candy bar without any special pyrotechnic additions.

There was another, that I haven't seen in at least 15 years, that had a sort of tan wrapper (I am color blind), that contained almonds in it.

Actually, here is a great comparison.

Edit: had to remove a couple of links because this was viewed as spam, but there are also allegedly a Mars Dark and White, and a Mars Dark Gold.

A good question to ask is a comparison between the amount of actual chocolate (cacoa beans are fairly expensive right now) and the size of the bars.

A number of confectionery companies have been messing with ingredient mixes due to the costs, recently (source: WSJ, link: in the frickin recycle bin where I toss it).

i never had the good carob. i once let this cute boy i was interested in talk me into baking a german chocolate cake using carob and whole wheat flour as subsitutes. the three layer cake ended up being less than five inches tall and weighed maybe seven or so pounds.
the curly headed waif LOVED it, but even 35 years later i have still yet to unnderstand what was edible about it, let alone pleasurable.
and my apologies for being a little snarky. i really ain't good at it..
..peace on you then.

"If you give a teenage boy a candy bar with a ruler on the back of the package, he will measure his dick."

Just because Philip Roth described Alexander Portnoy in a movie theater balcony "squirting his seed into the empty wrapper from a Mounds bar," I felt compelled to do the same in the back row of a Greyhound bus as a horny teenager. So now you know.

1. Carob rules. You're problem is you're comparing it to chocolate. Carob is not chocolate, it's carob. I challenge you to find anything yummier than a carob-banana smoothie.
1 frozen banana cut in pieces, + 1 cup ice cubes + 1 cup milk or soy/rice/almond alternative + 2 TBS carob powder… blend and serve. Scrumptious!

2. The original Milky Way was good-- not so dense like snickers or heavy feeling like Reese’s.

3. Anything with mint in it is delicious. That's just the way the world works.

I've lost crowns over Big Hunks, and it was almost worth it.
