Answer 1

Bun Bars

Bun Bars are a line of candy bars manufactured by Pearson's Candy Company of Saint Paul, Minnesota and available in the United States. Originally created in the 1920s by the Wayne Bun Candy Company and later bought out by Clark Bar, Pearson's picked up the brand in 1998. Pearson's acquired Bun Bars partially due to the similarities in manufacturing the Bun and their own Nut Goodie. While the two products are very similar, they still have recipe and ingredient differences that make each unique.

Bun Bars have one of three flavored centers (maple, vanilla, or sea salt caramel) covered in unsalted peanuts and milk chocolate. When first bought by Pearson's in 1998, maple and vanilla flavors were available, and later caramel was added to the line up. Despite the name, Bun Bars are not bars at all, but actually round, flat disks. In 2015, the caramel flavor was changed to sea salt caramel.

Butter Brickle

Butter Brickle was a toffee ice cream flavoring and the registered trademark of a toffee-centered chocolate-covered candy bar similar to the Heath bar.

Butter Brickle ice cream is reputed to have been introduced to the public by the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska in the 1920s, though at least one writer has found evidence for this claim to be lacking. The flavoring and the candy bar were produced by the Sioux Falls, South Dakota company Fenn Bros. Ice Cream and Candy Co., invented by an employee of that company, Arthur E. Dempsey, and were produced by Fenn Bros. until the company was liquidated in the 1970s, when the trademark and formula were sold to the makers of the "Heath" bar. A remnant of the name remains in "Heath Bits 'o Brickle Toffee Bits," sold by The Hershey Company, which acquired the Heath assets in 1996.

In the late 1950s and 1960s, Butter Brickle candy bars were advertised on radio and television with the slogan "Got a nickel? Butter Brickle,... candy bar!" delivered in an arch stage British accent.

Butterfinger

Butterfinger

Curtiss Candy Company (1923-1964)
Standard Brands Inc. (1964-1981)
Nabisco (1981-1985)
RJR Nabisco (1985-1988)

Butterfinger is a candy bar created in 1923 in Chicago, Illinois by Otto Schnering, which currently is manufactured by Nestlé. The bar consists of a crispy core of creamy peanut butter blended with sugar candy in chocolatey coating. Butterfinger has become known for humorous marketing and a roster of memorably funny spokespersons, including Bart Simpson, Top Cat, Seth Green, Erik Estrada, Rob Lowe, and Jamie Pressly, its most recent and first female spokesperson. Other memorable ad campaigns include counting down the end of the world or BARmageddon, with evidence such as the first-ever, QR-shaped crop circle in Kansas, a Butterfinger comedy-horror movie called “Butterfinger the 13th,” the first interactive digital graphic novel by a candy brand starring the Butterfinger Defense League, and several attention-grabbing April Fool’s Day pranks, including the renaming of the candy bar to “The Finger.”
With 2010 sales of $598 million, Butterfinger has become increasingly popular and has typically ranked as the eleventh most popular candy bar sold in the $17.68 billion United States chocolate confectionery market between 2007 and 2010.

The Curtiss Candy Company was founded near Chicago, Illinois, in 1922 by Otto Schnering, using his mother's maiden name. He invented the Butterfinger candy bar in 1923. The company held a public contest to choose the name of this candy. In an early marketing campaign, the company dropped Butterfinger and Baby Ruth candy bars from airplanes in cities across the United States as a publicity stunt that helped increase its popularity. The candy bar also was promoted in Baby Take a Bow, a 1934 film featuring Shirley Temple.

Cadbury Caramilk

Caramilk is a candy bar made by Cadbury in Canada. It was first sold in 1968. In the United States, Australia and New Zealand, a similar bar is called Caramello.

Variations available, some of them limited editions, include Caramilk made with dark chocolate flavoured maple, chocolate flavoured, or cappuccino. "Chunky" (thicker) versions called Caramilk "Thick" and cylindrical versions called "Caramilk Rolls" (similar to Rolo) have also been introduced.

'Caramilk' is also the name of a caramelised white chocolate bar that has recently been re-released as a limited edition in New Zealand. It had been sold under 'Caramilk' in both Australia and New Zealand previously.

One of the advertising campaigns for Caramilk bars revolved around the question of how the centre of the confection was put into the chocolate flavoured exterior. This theme led to the production of more than 15 separate television advertisements since the candy was introduced, making the series one of the most productive advertising efforts in Canadian history. The "Caramilk Secret" ad campaign was conceived by Gary Prouk when he was at Doyle Dane Bernbach. When Prouk left DDB to join Scali McCabe Sloves, the Cadbury account went with him. One notable advertisement involved two conehead aliens who were complimenting each other on successfully concealing the secret from humans, and also creating some of earth's other long-standing works of wonder (e.g. the pyramids).

Another ad, featuring Leonardo da Vinci drawing the Mona Lisa as she eats a Caramilk, has won a Clio award.

Caramilk bars are produced at one location, the company's Gladstone Chocolate Factory in Toronto.

Caramilk bars contain unsweetened chocolate and cocoa butter but are labelled as candy bars since only solid chocolate bars may be labelled as chocolate bars in Canada.

Caramilk NZ and Australia version Milk, sugar, cocoa butter, milk solids, emulsifiers, flavours.

In the United Kingdom, a bar similar in premise (caramel-filled chocolate) but differing considerably in taste, shape, ingredients and packaging is sold as Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel.

Answer 5

Cadbury Mr. Big

Mr. Big is the largest sized candy bar produced by Cadbury in Canada, hence the name. The standard bar is made of a layered vanilla wafer coated in caramel, peanuts and rice crisps covered in a brown simulated chocolate-like coating. Because of Canada's higher chocolate standards compared to other areas of the world, it is not considered a "chocolate bar" and is labeled instead as a "candy bar". The bar is the length of two "standard"-sized bars – around 20 centimeters (8 inches) long. Additional varieties include Mr. Chew Big, Mr. Big Fudge, and Mr. Big with Maple.

The bar is common in Canada. It is also available Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, Poland and some areas of the United States. A Canadian advertising campaign in the 1970s included the tagline "Mr. Big: so big they call him Mister". The product launched in the U.S. in 1995, and the launch included an advertising campaign with the basketball player Shaquille O'Neal. A miniature Mr. Big candy bar is manufactured and marketed for the Halloween season.

The Mr. Big brand name was originally owned by Nestlé and licensed by William Neilson (now Cadbury). This created the situation where the trademark of one of Neilson's largest brands was owned by its largest competitor. Neilson then bought the rights to the name Mr. Big for confectionery.

Mr. Big is the only Cadbury candy bar to have an ice cream variant made by Nestlé. It was discontinued in May 2002 in the UK due to poor sales. An ice cream bar version produced by Nestlé is available in Canada, although other Cadbury ice cream products are made by Breyers.

Cadbury Snowflake

Cadbury Snowflake was a chocolate bar manufactured by Cadbury.

Launched in August 2000, it was a crumbly flaked white chocolate inside covered in smooth milk chocolate. Weighing approximately 32 g, producing a small bite size bars, it was produced and sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In 2003 the chocolate was renamed Flake Snow and was discontinued in 2008. It was subsequently launched for the first time in Australia in 2015.

Snowflake was promoted at the wedding of TV presenter Anthea Turner and her husband Grant Bovey. Having agreed to an exclusive £300,000 deal for photographs of the wedding reception to be published in OK! magazine, pictures showed the couple (apparently) publicizing Snowflake. OK! magazine issued the photo to the media with the caption, "ANTHEA TURNER AND GRANT BOVEY exclusive OK! wedding photograph, enjoying Cadbury's new Snowflake. For the complete wedding coverage and a free Cadburys Snowflake, buy OK! magazine this weekend." The Sun described it as 'the most sickening wedding photo ever'.

Turner received much bad publicity which damaged her career, and the incident is now referred to as Flakegate.

Cajeta Elegancita

Cajeta, Dulce de Leche, Manjar

Cajeta is a confection of thickened syrup usually made of sweetened caramelised goat's milk. It is a type of dulce de leche, in Mexico it is considered a specialty of the city of Celaya in the state of Guanajuato.

Cajeta is made by simmering goat's milk, or occasionally a sweetened liquid, stirring frequently, until it becomes very viscous due to evaporation of water, and caramelized. While goat milk is the most usual base, other liquids or juices may be used.

In Celaya, and eventually the rest of Mexico, the confection of half goat's milk and half cow's milk became known by the name cajeta, but elsewhere, the milk candy became known as leche quemada, dulce de leche, etc. It has cousins in the many Indian milk-based sweets like pera and the milk fudge burfi, and in the opera fudge of the United States. Cajeta is eaten on its own as a sweet, as a spread or filling for breads and pastries, such as churros, and as a topping for ice cream.

Certain liquors are added to special recipes called cajeta envinada. In addition, cajeta envinada especial is enriched with raisins, almonds, pecans or nuts. Often it is used as a topping for crêpes, as a sweet sauce boiled and softened down with milk to soak the crepes, resulting in a tasty dessert. It is also very common to place cajeta between obleas to make a traditional Mexican candy.

In 2005, the Hershey Company introduced a line of cajeta-flavored confections styled "Cajeta Elegancita", targeted at Mexican-food aficionados living in the United States. The marketing decision made headlines when it was discovered the word is a term for the vulva in Argentinian and Uruguayan parlance. That same year, Nestlé released a "cajeta"-flavored Nesquik in Mexico.

Caramac

Caramac is the brand name for a caramel-flavoured bar that was created by Mackintosh's, and is now manufactured by Nestlé. It was first introduced in the United Kingdom in 1959. The name is derived from the syllabic abbreviation of Caramel and Mackintosh.

A similar confection is used in the covering of McVitie's Gold biscuit bar. A limited edition Caramac Kit Kat bar was released in the United Kingdom in 2005 and due to popular demand it was brought back in 2007.

In 2015 a buttons version was launched.

The name of the product was determined in a competition. The competition was held in what was the Norwich factory of Mackintosh's, and won by Barbara Herne. The bar was made at the old Norwich factory until the factory closed in 1996, when production transferred to Fawdon in Tyneside where it is still made. Caramac was temporarily available in Canada, during the 1960s and 1970s.

The bar is a pale yellow colour, and is manufactured using sweetened condensed milk, butter, various flavourings, and sugar. It is packaged in a red and yellow wrapper.
