Mounds (candy bar)

Mounds is a candy bar made by the Hershey Company, consisting of shredded, sweetened coconut coated in dark chocolate.

The two products share common packaging and logo design, with Mounds using a red color scheme and Almond Joy blue.

Originally invented by candy maker Vincent Nitido of West Haven, Connecticut, Mounds was created in 1920 as a single piece for 5 cents.

Over the years, Peter Paul added several products to its line, including the Almond Joy candy bar (1946) and York Peppermint Patties (1940).

Mounds uses a packaging and logo design similar to its sister product, with Almond Joy's blue replaced by red, and the two candies are often advertised together.
