I was just reading about candy bars for a trivia night, and the internet tells me the UK Milky Way is the same as the US 3 Musketeers bar. As in, it omits the caramel.
Also, the 3 Musketeers candy bars used to come with 3 flavors in the package: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Cost cutting led to eliminating the 2 less popular flavors.

- magicalhippo 1mo agoI've seen some YouTuber taste test both US and European Snickers, and he claimed they were quite different. Ingredients list backed him up. EU had more peanuts, not so sweet and nougat was different, IIRC.
