CANDY BARS

Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar was invented in 1900.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups was invented 1923.
Butterfinger was invented in 1923.
Snickers Bar was invented in 1930.
3 Musketeers Bar was invented in 1932.
Kit Kat was invented 1933.
Nestle's Crunch was invented 1938
M&M's were invented in 1940. (See also M&M Article)

Some names of candy bars that were introduced in the 1920s: Milk Nut Loaf, Fat Emmas, Big Dearos, Vegetable Sandwich, Kandy Kake (actually the original name of the Baby Ruth), Oh Henry!, Mr. Goodbar, Milky Way, Butterfingers, Snickers, and the Chicken Dinner (this chocolate peanut roll actually survived until the 1960s!)

The Milky Way candy bar was introduced by Frank C. Mars of Minnesota in 1923. Mars introduced the Snickers bar in 1930. The Three Musketeers bar was introduced in 1932. The original 3 Musketeers had 3 bars in one wrapper, each with a different flavor.

When Standard Brands Company, owner of Curtiss Candy Company, was acquired by Nabisco in 1981, they realized they had somehow lost the original recipes for the Baby Ruth and Butterfinger candy bars. No one at the old Curtiss factory remembered how to make the candy bars, and Nabisco had to develop new recipes that customers would accept.
