What was the name of first candy bar ever made?

While there's no definitive "first candy bar" as we know it today, "The Chocolate Cream" is often credited as the first commercially produced candy bar.

Here's why:

* Early 1800s: The Chocolate Cream was developed and marketed in the early 1800s by Joseph Fry II, a British chocolatier.

* Precursor to Candy Bars: While not exactly a "bar" in the modern sense, it was a rectangular block of chocolate with a soft, cream filling, a format that paved the way for later candy bars.

However, other early contenders include:

* "The Milk Chocolate Cream": Also by Fry, this came out later and was a more solid chocolate bar with a cream center.

* "The Penny Royal": This was a bar that was a precursor to the modern "mint" candy bar.

It's worth noting that chocolate had been around long before the 1800s. The key innovation was the introduction of *solid, portable forms of chocolate* that could be easily consumed on the go, paving the way for the candy bar as we know it.
