Snicker

In 1930, Frank C. Mars invented the Snickers bar by adding a chocolate coating to an already existing nougat, caramel and peanut snack. The treat was named the "Snickers Bar", in memory of one of the Mars family's favorite horses, which had passed away less than a month before the creation of the bar. Snickers, the horse, had been a winning race horse, raised on the family's Milky Way farm in Tennessee. It was Frank's wife, Ethyl, who had insisted on naming the candy bar after the horse. The original Snickers candy wrapper listed ingredients of white sugar, sweet milk chocolate, corn syrup, peanuts, milk condensed with sugar, coconut oil, malted milk, "whites of eggs" and salt. The first Snickers weighed in at 2 1/4 ounces. The original price of the Snickers bar, with all of its rich ingredients: one nickel.
