The Mars Candy Company introduced the world to the Marathon Bar in 1973. The treat consisted of chewy caramel, braided to resemble a long pretzel, which was then dipped in a luxurious layer of milk chocolate.

What was great about this candy besides the taste, was that it took a long time to eat.

Unfortunately, the Marathon Bar didn’t last on store shelves quite as long. By 1981, the last of these memorable candy bars left the sweets aisle for good, and fans have never stopped mourning.

This is the closet I have found to the Marathon Bar

 

 

Growing up my favorite were the Reese’s minis.  They came in a box.  Of course I liked the regular ones, that is, until big cup came out. Another great was the Bites.

Of course I really liked theses until they quit making them.

But Also enjoy these as well.

 

3 Musketeers is a candy bar made in the United States and Canada by Mars, Incorporated. It is a chocolate-covered fluffy whipped chocolate bar. The 3 Musketeers Bar was the third brand produced and manufactured by M&M/Mars, introduced in 1932. Originally, it had three pieces in one package, flavored chocolate, strawberry and vanilla, hence the name. Rising costs and wartime restrictions on sugar saw the phasing out of the vanilla and strawberry pieces to leave only the more popular chocolate.[1] Costing five cents when it was introduced, it was marketed as one of the largest chocolate bars available, one that could be shared by friends.

To mark the 75th anniversary of the introduction of the candy bar, Mars introduced 3 Musketeers Mint, the first brand extension, in August 2007.[2] Also in 2007, Mars produced a limited-edition “Autumn Minis Mix” 3 Musketeers. It featured French Vanilla, Mocha Cappuccino and Strawberry.[3] This was followed by Cherry 3 Musketeers for 2008, and Raspberry 3 Musketeers and Orange 3 Musketeers for Easter 2008. Orange was coated in milk chocolate, while the cherry and raspberry were coated with dark chocolate
