The 5th Avenue is a candy bar introduced in 1936, consisting of peanut butter crunch layers enrobed in chocolate.

It is also similar in composition to the Butterfinger candy bar,[3] first developed and manufactured by Curtiss Candy Company, later manufactured by successors including Nestlé and Ferrara.

The candy bar was introduced in 1936 by Luden's, at the time a subsidiary of Food Industries of Philadelphia.

[1][4][5] The name was an attempt to associate the candy with fashionable 5th Avenue in New York City.

[citation needed] The original candy bar was topped with almonds, but these were removed in the 1990s as a cost-saving measure.
