Some names of candy bars that were introduced in the 1920s:

The Milky Way candy bar was introduced by Frank C. Mars of Minnesota in 1923. 

Mars introduced the Snickers bar in 1930 (it was named for a horse).

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.
