3 Musketeers Candy Bar Copycat Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What is the filling in a 3 Musketeers bar? ›

It is a candy bar consisting of chocolate-covered, fluffy, whipped nougat. It is similar to the global Milky Way bar as well as the American version of the Milky Way bar (only without the latter's caramel topping).

Ingredients : Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Lactose, Skim Milk, Milkfat, Soy Lecithin), Sugar, Corn Syrup, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil and/or Palm Oil, less than 2% - Cocoa Powder Processed With Alkali, Salt, Egg Whites, Artificial and Natural Flavors.

The title "The Three Musketeers" refers to the trio of musketeers—Athos, Porthos, and Aramis—who are prominent characters in Alexandre Dumas' famous novel of the same name. The story primarily revolves around these three musketeers and their adventures.

The version of the Milky Way bar sold outside the United States has no caramel topping; it consists of a nougat centre that is considerably less dense than that of the British Mars bar and the American Milky Way bar. The global Milky Way bar is marketed in the United States as 3 Musketeers bar.

Rationing of sugar began during the war in 1942 and it became too expensive to continue producing all three flavors. Since chocolate was the favorite by popular demand, Mars only continued to produce the chocolate flavor.

FLUFFY, CHOCOLATEY, NOUGAT FOREVER

3 MUSKETEERS is more than just fluffy, creamy nougat wrapped in a chocolatey hug. It's a snackable, share-able, lovable treat.

It did indeed come in three pieces — vanilla, chocolate and strawberry — which allowed you to treat your friends to a piece or two. “All for one or one for a couple of others,” as the famous trio might have said during a commercial break in Alexandre Dumas' classic novel, for which the candy was named.

Nougat — which first of all is pronounced new-get not new-gat — is traditionally an aerated blend of sugar, egg whites, and nuts and/or fruit. The homemade variety looks very different than the type you find in the middle of the candy bar.

There are three main types of nougat: white, brown, and viennese. White nougat, the most common variety, is likely what you're familiar with. It's made with beaten egg whites, sugar or honey, and sometimes other ingredients to add flavor and texture (such as nuts and candied fruits).

During World War 2, 3 Musketeers transformed into the bar that we know and love today. Previously known as a bar that could be shared with 2 of your closest friends, due to sugar rations two of the three flavors were discontinued. It was simply too expensive to produce all three flavors.

What is in a Babe Ruth candy bar? ›

Baby Ruth is an American candy bar made of peanuts, caramel, and milk chocolate-flavored nougat, covered in compound chocolate.

Nougat is a confection made with sugar or honey that's cooked and then whipped with egg whites to aerate it. It often contains almonds or other nuts, candied fruits and chocolate, although it can be left plain. Nougat can be soft and tender like marshmallow but is more often dense and very chewy.
