The History Of Candy Bars
Candy bars have been around for hundreds of years. Yes, retro candy bars are still pretty popular and in demand. In fact, the love of candy bars is still quite strong with today’s generation and they seem to be found in almost every commercial ahirot. Candy bars were initially made up of dry ingredients that were combined and flavored with honey, sugar and fruit. But in 1798, the capital of candy, Paris, was founded and the tradition of making these candies was handed down to them. In 1800, milk was part of the confectionery supply in Paris and it is then that the modern dairy-based candies were created. In 1868, the first American candy bar was made and it was named spit roasted. After World War I, the soldiers of World War II that were stationed in France developed a strong affection for spit roasted marshmallows. And as they developed a taste for the sweet, the French decided to make wafers with marshmallows and then they were named candy bars.
Candy bars have been classified by the types of candy and the sugar content. Candy bars, as they are generally known, are divided into two categories based on the sugar content. They are also divided into five different types, depending on the salt content. This is also the reason behind the different names that are given to different types of candy bars.
