Mars bar

Caramel nougat confection

A Mars bar is a chocolate-covered candy bar with nougat and caramel, made by Mars, Inc.

The British version has been sold since 1932; the American version, reformulated and renamed Snickers Almond, differs from the original.

She grabbed a Mars bar from the vending machine.

In British slang, to be Mars bar (rhyming slang for "far") means distant or unlikely.
