=== United States === [[File:US-Mars-Wrapper-Small.jpg|right|thumb|A U.S. Mars bar]] [[File:Mars-Almond-split.jpg|thumb|right|A Mars Almond split]] In the United States, the Mars bar was a candy bar with [[nougat]] and toasted [[almond]]s coated with [[milk chocolate]]. The same candy bar is known outside the United States as a Mars Almond bar. Originally it did not have [[caramel]], but at some point caramel was added. It was discontinued in 2002.<ref name="candyfavorites">{{cite web |url=http://www.candyfavorites.com/Snickers-Almond-Mars-bar-pr-295.html |title= Snickers Almond Mars bar |access-date=7 August 2007 |website=Candyfavorites.com|quote=Snickers Almond "is the replacement for the classic Mars bar"}}</ref> In 2003, the company introduced a replacement called [[Snickers|Snickers Almond]] containing nougat, almonds, caramel, and a milk chocolate coating,<ref name="candyfavorites" /> It is similar to the Mars bar, with some differences; for example, the pieces of almond are smaller in Snickers Almond than in the Mars bar. The Mars bar was relaunched in January 2010 (initially exclusively through [[Walmart]] stores), discontinued again at the end of 2011,<ref>[https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/brits-only-just-realising-mars-31237258 Brits are only just realising why Mars bars are called Milky Way in America] .

The 2016 version was the "original American recipe", without caramel. It was available in their stores and on Amazon.com.<ref>{{Cite press release|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-relaunch-of-a-blast-from-the-past---ethel-m-chocolates-brings-back-original-1932-mars-bar-300522193.html|title=The Relaunch of a Blast from the Past β Ethel M Chocolates Brings Back Original 1932 Mars Bar|last=Chocolates|first=Ethel M|website=www.prnewswire.com|language=en|access-date=20 September 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.foodandwine.com/desserts/candy/original-mars-bar-comeback|title=The Original Mars Bar Is Back|work=Food & Wine|access-date=20 September 2017|language=en}}</ref> The European or Canadian version of the Mars bar is sold in some American grocery stores that stock imported food products.
