As a confectionery expert with a deep understanding of various candies and chocolates, I can provide you with accurate information regarding the composition of Milky Way bars.

The original Milky Way bar, which was first introduced by Mars, Incorporated in 1923, is known for its unique combination of nougat, caramel, and milk chocolate. The nougat is typically made from a mixture of sugar, egg whites, and sometimes nuts. However, the classic Milky Way bar does not traditionally contain nuts as part of its ingredients. It is designed to be a chewy, sweet treat that is nut-free.

However, it's important to note that over the years, the brand has expanded and there are now various versions of Milky Way bars available in different markets. Some of these variations might include different ingredients, and it's possible that in some regional or limited edition versions, nuts could be added to the recipe. Additionally, there is a separate product called "Milky Way with Almonds" which, as the name suggests, includes almonds as an ingredient.

To summarize, while the classic Milky Way bar does not contain nuts, there are variations and regional editions that might. Always check the ingredient list on the packaging to confirm the contents of the specific product you are considering.
