Mars, commonly known as Mars bar, is the name of two varieties of chocolate bar produced by Mars Inc. It was first manufactured in 1932 in Slough, England, by Forrest Mars Sr. The bar consists of caramel and nougat coated with milk chocolate.
A different Mars bar was produced in the United States with nougat and toasted almonds covered in milk chocolate, and later also with caramel. This was discontinued in 2002, then revived in a slightly different form the following year under the name "Snickers Almond".
