Anybody remember 5th Avenue candy bar?
IMHO the best candy ever made.
It was orginally made by Ludens, and was similiar to Butterfinger only softer and MUCH better.
It was covered in milk chocolate with almonds on top.
Hersheys bought it and discontinued the almonds.
Now, you seldom see them in stores.

They still sell them in my neighborhood. I had no idea they once had almonds on top (imagine that, with the soft peanut brittle interior enrobed in rich milk chocolate). I remember vaguely that they were once made by Ludens (who also made the cough drops).

Yeh..when Luden’s made them they had almonds on top.
(odd- a company known for cough drops making a candy bar, huh?)
They were SO good!
I live in Corpus Christi, Tx and it is rare that I can still find a 5th Avenue.
