Caramel and nuts are very much a part of the Baby Ruth bar. HTH.

Does it contain nuts, marshmallow, caramel, or is it just plain chocolate? I'm inquiring because, in Canada, I don't think we have such a candy bar. But I would love to make this frosting with a substitute that we would have, such as O Henry, (if the original bar had caramel and nuts), or Mars (if Marshmallow was the main element). So, if someone would enlighten me, I'll know which direction to take in making this frosting. Thanks to all in advance.
