The Yankie Bar is a caramel, nougat, and milk chocolate bar produced and sold in Denmark by Toms International.
History
Just after the Second World War, Danish candy producer Toms were contacted by the United States high command in Germany, which commissioned Toms to produce a candy bar for the American troops in Germany to avoid transporting such products across the Atlantic. In return, the U.S. would supply Toms with the required amount of cocoa beans.[2][3][4] The chocolate bar was named Yankie Bar after the American soldiers (Yankees).[5] The spelling with "-ie" was chosen to avoid Danes mispronouncing "-ee".[1]
