Candy Bars Caught on Fast After Introduction in 1911 The candy bar, known as the “meal-ina-minute,” first appeared in America in 1911, as far as candymakers can determine. That year, candy bars were merely a novelty consisting mostly of almond nougats and chocolate-coated marshmallows with peanuts, and sold at baseball parks. However, the status of individually wrapped bars has grown from zero early in the century to capture close to a third or better of the market for all confections sold in the United States. The Candy, Chocolate and Confectionery Institute attributes this increase in popularity to the increased pace and mobility of modern life. The first bar confection resulted from research conducted in Europe around 1800. This gave the world the first chocolate bar. Milk chocolate bars followed in 1876. But the world had to wait until the 20th Century for an imaginative American candymaker to make chocolate covered creams in a single confection which evolved quickly into the modern candy bar. U.S. bar manufacturers’ skill in tempting Americans is based on the experience of producing a total of about three trillion candy and chocolate bars in the past 50 years, according to C.C.C.I. There are now hundreds of varieties of bars, and candymakers are constantly seeking new combinations and approaches to create new sweet treats. TOP SERVICE! TOP QUALITY! ALWAYS! BRENKERT 35mm.
