In 1930, the Mars family introduced its second brand, Snickers, named after one of their favorite horses.[1] They were first sold for a nickel. It is made by forming a nougat center into large slabs, which are cut to size once the caramel and peanuts have been added. After the centers are formed, they are coated with thick milk chocolate. The completed bars are inspected, wrapped, and packed in cases for shipment.

Snickers were indeed around in the 50's and cost a nickel, as did just about every candy bar. That was also the usual price for a (6 1/2 ounce bottle) Coca Cola.

In 1955 there was a Snickers bar. It cost a nickel. It was smaller than today's bar, but even after adjusting for inflation, it was a bargain back then!

They were a nickle, Rico. And what's more, they were larger than today's candy bar. A dime would get you a Coke to wash it down, but the bottle was smaller than the one you buy today. (I was smaller in '55 than I am today, too, but that's more than you wanted to know). Bon Apetit!
