A Delicious Fusion of Chocolate, Caramel and Nougat
We still make MARS bars at the same factory where they were originally produced in 1932. Almost 90 years later, in Slough, England, we can make nearly three million bars a day filled with caramel and nougat, covered in rich milk chocolate - remaining loved and enjoyed by many across the UK.
1932
The first MARS bars were handmade in 1932, marking the start of the very first chapter of the iconic chocolate bars.
1939-1945
Despite sweets rationing and a gold ink shortage during World War II, MARS bars were successfully distributed to troops in the UK and prisoners of war in Germany from 1939 to 1945.
1972
The real party began when MARS Fun Size arrived on the scene in 1972.
1989
A new way to enjoy MARS comes to our stores in 1989, and it’s cold. Ice cold. Welcome MARS Ice Cream!
1998
In 1998, we made MARS deliciously drinkable with the MARS bottled drink.
