History of 100 Grand Candy Bar
The 100 Grand Candy Bar first came into existence in 1964. Until 1985 it was known as ‘$100,000 Bar’ or ‘Hundred Thousand Dollar Bar.’ The candy bar is currently manufactured by the Ferrara Candy Company and advertises the slogan “That’s Rich!”
Until 2018, Nestle was the producer of 100 Grand Candy Bar. Following that year, Ferrero SpA purchased Nestle’s American confectionery business. Nestle allowed them to use its name for up to a year. Later, Ferrara Candy Company and Nestle candies were merged by Ferrara.
There have been instances where comedians and radio station hosts have used the candy bar as sarcasm content. For instance, a radio jockey in Kentucky once kept a contest and announced that the winner would make “hundred grand.” A lady won the contest, but instead of the money, she received a candy bar. She later sued the radio station. The incident took place in May 2005. You can read about it here.

A 100 Grand Candy Bar is crispy and chewy. The presence of caramel in the core gives a sweet blast, while the embedded rice crisps on the surface give a nice crunch when you chew the bar.
The thick milk chocolate coating gives a perfect chocolaty twist to the overall candy bar. The amalgamation of chocolate and caramel flavors leaves a delightful aftertaste. The caramel center is gooey but not liquid consistency and does not stick to the insides of your mouth.
