Baby Ruth
Chocolate peanut confection
Baby Ruth is a chocolate-covered candy bar with a peanut, caramel, and nougat center, produced in the United States since 1921.
The manufacturer long claimed it was named for President Grover Cleveland's daughter Ruth, though many suspect it traded on the fame of baseball legend Babe Ruth.
I grabbed a Baby Ruth from the vending machine.
