3 Musketeers is a candy bar made in the U.S. by Mars, Incorporated. It is filled with a fluffy chocolate nougat in the middle. Mars markets the 3 Musketeers bar as a low-fat alternative to richer candy bars because of it relatively airy texture.
When introduced in 1932, 3 Musketeers had three pieces of candy in one package, flavored vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, hence the name.
In the novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, the three musketeers, Aramis, Porthos, and Athos, were joined by the dashing d'Artagnan. In commercials for the candy bar featuring the characters, there are only three musketeers depicted, but d'Artagnan replaces Aramis.
In some areas outside of the United States and Canada, the 3 Musketeers bar is called the Milky Way bar, and the candy bar that is known in the U.S. as the Milky Way bar is known as the Mars bar. Template:Candy products of Mars
