Bar One or BARONE is a popular chocolate bar invented and manufactured in South Africa by Nestlé and sold in South Africa[1] and India. It is similar to the English Mars Bars and consists of a layer of malted nougat with a caramel topping and covered in milk chocolate. In South Africa, there are other variations, including a Bar One Peanut version and one flavoured with coffee.
It was first manufactured in South Africa in 1965,[2] and is produced at the Nestlé factory in East London.[3] In India, it is one of the top 5 most sold chocolate bars.[4]
