Developed by
confectioner and
entrepreneur David L. Clark as a cheap candy for sale to the
American troops overseas during
World War II. The Clark Bar was well received by the troops and earned the same market surge potential as other troops products such as
Spam and
Lucky strike. During the early part of the twentieth century the five cent Clark Bar was a staple of the
chocolate lovers diet.
Since the 1950's, when the Clark family gave up interest, the
D.L Clark Company has gone through several sales both in
America and abroad, often making it difficult to find the
confection. The Clark property has most recently been purchased by the
New England Confectionary Company in 1999 and has promised to produce the same
quality product first manufactured by D.L Clark himself.
Ohh! you wanted to know what kind of
candy bar it is? A Clark Bar has a crunchy
Peanut Butter center covered in a rich
chocolaty coating. The
manufacturer claims that the peanut butter is
homemade and that this is the reason for its
yumminess.
