Milka is manufactured by Kraft Foods, though it was first created by the Suchard company in the early 20th century. In 1970, Suchard merged with Tobler.

The term Milka comes from the German words milch and kakao, the terms for milk and cocoa. The chocolate is produced in Germany, Austria, Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Romania, Costa Rica, Brazil, Poland, Ukraine, and Belgium.
Carambar is a caramel candy from France. In 1954, the director of the Delespaul-Havez company and an employee had a lot of cocoa and decided to make a new candy. It is said that the candy got its shape because one of the machines malfunctioned. It was originally spelled Caram'bar, but in 1977, the apostrophe was removed. The wrappers had points, which could be used toward Carambar products, but those were replaced with jokes.
Originally known as Dajm in Sweden, this candy bar is a crunchy butter almond bar covered in chocolate.

There have been various flavors, such as Coke, white chocolate, blueberry, dark chocolate, and lemon-orange.
