The late 1800s and early 1900s saw an increase in chocolate productions with the establishment of Hersheys chocolate bars in 1894, Cadbury creating its dairy milk bar in 1905, and Mars Candy establishing in 1911. The popularity and craving for chocolate rose during this time period resulting in local candy/chocolate shops opening up around the country. |
