5th Avenue is a chocolate candy bar introduced in 1936 by Luden's, at the time a subsidiary of Food Industries of Philadelphia. The candy bar is currently produced and marketed by The Hershey Company.
History[edit | edit source]
The 5th Avenue bar was originally introduced by Luden's, a company best known for its cough drops. The candy bar was named after Fifth Avenue in New York City, a street synonymous with luxury and high-end shopping. The original 5th Avenue bar featured a crunchy peanut butter center covered in milk chocolate.
In 1986, The Hershey Company acquired the Luden's brand and its associated products, including the 5th Avenue bar. Hershey's made some changes to the original recipe, including the use of a chocolate coating instead of the original milk chocolate.
