As a subject matter expert in international confectionery distribution, I can provide you with accurate information regarding the availability of Mars bars in the United States.

Mars bars are a popular chocolate bar originally from the United Kingdom and are produced by Mars, Incorporated. While the original Mars bar is not commonly found in the US, there is a similar product called Mars which is part of the same company's portfolio. The US version of the bar is quite different from the UK version. The American Mars bar is a nougat and caramel combination coated in milk chocolate, whereas the UK version contains nougat, caramel, and a layer of chocolate on the top, all enrobed in milk chocolate.

It's important to note that the original UK Mars bar was briefly available in the US through some specialty import stores or online retailers for a period, but it was not widely distributed. The US market has its own version, which has been tailored to local tastes and preferences.

For those seeking the authentic UK Mars bar experience, it may be more challenging to find in the US, but it's not impossible. You might have to look for it in specialty stores that carry international snacks or through online platforms that specialize in importing goods from the UK.
