Dove Chocolate

Dove (sold as Galaxy in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, India, Ireland, the Middle East, and Australia) is a brand of chocolate made and marketed by the Mars company. Dove produces a wide range of chocolate bars, including dark chocolate, milk, caramel, fruit and nut varieties, truffle and chocolate pieces with a folded milk chocolate center. The name comes from Dove Candies & Ice Cream, which were Chicago sweet shops owned by Leo Stefanos, a Greek-American in 1939. In 1956, Stefanos created the Dove brand of ice cream bars, which were only sold locally in Chicago until 1985 when distribution began in selected cities around the country. The Galaxy brand was first launched in the UK in 1960. In 1986, the company was acquired by Mars, Incorporated.
