The wait is almost over!
The Pittsburgh Business Times‘ Patty Tascarella reports that the beloved chocolate and peanut butter crunch bars will be back on store shelves in November.
Clark Bars went through a series of confectionery owners throughout the years, and was purchased by Boyer Candy Co. in 2018, after owner Necco went bankrupt, and discontinued the product.
Tascarella spoke with Anthony Forgione, CEO of the Altoona-based Boyer Candy Co., who said that delays with perfecting the machinery to create the candy set their original release timeline back. The company, which also makes Mallow Cups, used that existing machinery to release Clark Cups (a chocolate and peanut butter crunch cup) in March.
Clark Bars will be available online within in the next three weeks, and nationally available by Thanksgiving. .

Aww Man ! It’s not Halloween with out Clark Bars ! Bummer
I just recently tried the Clark bars Boyer’s is selling. They are advertised to be the same as original made by D.L. Clark.
Not only is the packaging different (wrong color wrapper, white lettering on blue background as opposed to the reverse), but what is really important is the recipe is clearly NOT the same as the original.
The original Clark bar has a ribbed chocolate-like coating while the new one has NO RIBS.
The original Clark bar was easy to bite into and chew while the new one is quite hard.
I remember the Clark bar very well from the 1950’s and this thing they are selling today is definitely NOT the same as the original CLARK BAR.
In these times people lie about everything — too bad.
