Oh, you silly Brits.

A Three Musketeers Bar is just the fluffy nougat stuff, covered in chocolate.

The Milky Way is the nougat with a ribbon of caramel over the top covered in chocolate.

The Snickers is nougat with a ribbon of caramel and peanuts added.

Just to make things more confusing, there are now flavor variations of each.


Say, has anybody noticed it's darn near impossible to find a single Baby Ruth bar, but you can get bags of them around Halloween? Wouldn't have occurred to me, frankly, but a cow orker had a friend visit from Ireland and she was totally nuts for Baby Ruths, but couldn't find any.
