5th Avenue (candy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the street in Manhattan, see 5th Avenue (Manhattan).

The 5th Avenue candy bar is a crunchy peanut butter bar coated with milk chocolate, and is made by Hershey's. It was introduced in 1936 by William H. Luden, founder of Luden's cough drops, and was named after 5th Avenue in Reading, PA. Luden's company changed hands a number of times and was most recently purchased by Hershey's Corporation in 1986.

It is very similar to a Butterfinger candy bar, which was created first. One difference between these two candy bars is that, until the Hershey takeover, 5th Avenue candy bars had three or four small almonds or almond pieces along the top center length of the bar, under the chocolate coating.
