Dove is a brand of chocolate candy produced by Mars, Incorporated. Its history dates back to the mid-fifties, to a small candy shop in Chicago, Illinois. As the story goes, the owner of this candy shop, Leo Stefanos, would often worry about his two sons as they would run off chasing the local ice cream truck. To keep his sons safe, he decided to create his very own ice cream bar, the original Dove Bar. His son later took over the business and eventually sold the Dove Bar company to M&M/Mars in 1985. Then in 1990 the Dove Chocolate bar, inspired by the chocolate on the original Dove bar, was introduced nationally. In the USA, it's considered to be a high-end mass market brand of chocolate. The popularity of the brand has continued to grow throughout the years and is now one of the most popular chocolates sold.
