Every Mars candy in America owes its creation to Frank and Forrest Mars, the visionaries behind Mars Corporation headquartered in McLean, Virginia. 

Among a series of other success stories told throughout this season, this iconic story follows Mars as he reunites with his estranged father, Frank, to transform a candy company. 

"Neither of them really wanted to discuss the past. These were not men who were going to work out their issues, but one thing they did talk about was business. This was a commonality they had," said snack food historian Jason Liebig.

Along the way, Mars developed the goal to encapsulate the flavor of a malted milkshake in chocolate form. 

Thus, the nougat was born. 

The episode featuring the candy empire debuted on the platform this Tuesday.

Episodes showcasing the rise of Harley-Davidson and steel-manufacturing behemoth Carnegie have also been available for streaming since last week.

Remarking on the latter during a recent appearance on Fox News Channel, "Making Money" host Charles Payne marveled at Carnegie's success story.

"Carnegie came over here with his family from Scotland, worked his way through the system. Someone noticed that he was brilliant, [he] made the right friends, made the right connections, made the right investments, and became an American legend," he told "Fox & Friends" co-host Lawrence Jones.

"And again, how do we leapfrog the rest of the world? It was not those so-called robber barons, but it was the industrialists, the visionaries who got us here, and people should learn more about the true story."

Episodes of "American Dynasty: Season Two" are available for streaming on the Fox Nation platform now.
