3 Musketeers is a candy bar made in the U.S. by Mars, Incorporated. It is filled with a fluffy chocolate nougat in the middle.
Nougat is a confectionery made with sugar or honey, roasted nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios or hazelnuts are common) and sometimes chopped goodies, like candied fruit. The consistency of nougat can range from chewy to hard depending on its composition.
There are two basic kinds of nougat: white and brown. White nougat is made with beaten egg white and is soft, whereas brown nougat is made with caramelized sugar and has a firmer, often crunchy texture.
Spanish turrón follows the traditional recipes with toasted almonds (66%), sugar, honey (12%) and egg white with a net weight of c. 300g. Torrone from Italy includes these same basic ingredients as well as vanilla or citrus flavoring, and is often sandwiched between two very thin sheets of edible wafer.[2][3]
Australian nougat is produced in a similar method to French nougat but usually has a 50% almond content and no pistachios although it can contain Macadamia nuts, apricots or other texture modifiers. The nougat is commonly produced in two varieties of soft and crunchy. During candy making, this is done by heating a sugar solution to different temperatures before folding in egg whites and honey.
A totally different nougat type is called "Wiener (Viennese) Nougat", or, in German, "Schmelz-Schokolade" (molten chocolate, because of its mellow consistency), which contains only sugar, cocoa butter, almonds, and cocoa mass.
Persian nougat, known as gaz, is a variety that has been produced in Isfahan, Iran for many centuries by Ashrafi nougat and other traditional producers. It contains the sugary extract of the root of Sweetvetch (Hedysarum sp.).
The "nougat" used as an ingredient in many modern candy bars is not similar to traditional recipes, but is a mixture of sucrose and corn syrup aerated with a whipping agent such as egg white or hydrolyzed soya protein. It may also have vegetable fats and milk powder added, and is typically combined with nuts, caramel, and/or chocolate, and so forth. In contrast, European confections feature nougat as the primary component, rather than one of several ingredients. Milky Way, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, and Baby Ruth all have different types of "nougat".

It's basically chocolate nougat. What is nougat? Ah yes nougat. Good question. Nougat is made by whipping egg whites until they are light and frothy. Sugar syrup is then added, stabilizing the foam and creating "frappe." A number of other flavoring ingredients are then added to the frappe; each ingredient creates nougat with a different taste. These nougats are then ready for use in the manufacture of specific brands as the filling in the bars, which is included in the delicious 3 MUSKETEERS® Bar.
