Milky Way bars

Milky Way bars are a popular chocolate candy that combines a layer of soft and creamy marshmallow with a caramel base, all covered in a coating of milk chocolate. This ingredient is not a fresh or natural food, but rather a manufactured product widely known as a snack or treat.

The origin of Milky Way bars dates back to the United States, where they were launched by Mars, Incorporated in 1923. Since then, they have become a very popular candy worldwide and are occasionally used in dessert recipes to add texture and sweet flavor, especially in preparations like brownies, ice cream, milkshakes, or homemade energy bars.

Properties: Milky Way bars are rich in calories, sugars, and fats due to their main ingredients: sugar, corn syrup, milk chocolate, and marshmallow sugar. Although they do not provide essential nutrients or fiber, their sweet and creamy flavor makes them an option for creating attractive and delicious desserts.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: In various Latin American countries, Milky Way bars are primarily known by their original English name, "Milky Way". However, they may sometimes be referred to colloquially as barritas Milky Way or chocolates Milky Way. There is no official translated term, so maintaining the original name is common in recipes.
