What confection known in the US as the 3 Musketeers bar is sold internationally under the Milky Way name?
Answer
The bar consisting primarily of whipped nougat filling without the layer of caramel.
The nomenclature surrounding the Milky Way brand becomes confusing due to the international split engineered by Forrest Mars. The product sold outside the US market specifically branded as the 'Milky Way' is structurally identical to what American consumers recognize as the 3 Musketeers bar. This bar is characterized by its composition, which is chiefly whipped nougat filling, crucially lacking the gooey, stretchy layer of caramel present in the US Milky Way. This international version is often described as being lighter, sometimes even advertised as floating in milk, emphasizing its pure nougat composition.
