In 1936, Luden’s Inc. of cough drop fame introduced 5TH AVENUE Candy Bars, named after New York City’s stylish Fifth Avenue.
The original bars contained a crunchy peanut butter center, topped with toasted almonds and coated in chocolate.
The Hershey Company purchased Luden’s Inc. in 1986, and has been making 5TH AVENUE Candy Bars ever since.
