The classic Payday candy bar is a salty, nutty caramel treat, a little similar to a snickers but without the chocolate coating. It has a golden, tasty core made of caramel that’s coated in the most delicious salty peanuts which means it’s nutritious too. You’ll love the perfect blend of salty and sweet flavours that come with every bite. A single bar weights 52g and that’s a single serving.
Paydays are made by Hershey these days but they were originally created in the mid 1900’s, roughly 1932 by a genius known as Frank Martoccio. He owned his own amazing sweets company.
In the 1980’s he ran this incredible candy promotion that involved each PayDay bar having a nickel coin inside each. Though they since dropped the idea, it was an ingenious promotion – probably because eating 5 nickel coins isn’t the best of ideas and worse for your teeth than any sugary snack. Later, the company was purchased by the Hershey company.
