Suddenly I HAD to have one although it has been years since I even thought of them.

Unfortunately a box of 24 on Amazon went from $20 to over $100 overnight when the news spread the company that makes them closed. Now ever single online candy store is " out-of -stock."

But good news.........I did find 5 bars at our local candy store on their " retro" shelf. I guess the news of the plant closing didn't hit our little island yet.
Have you ever tried either Butterfinger or Fifth Avenue bars? There isn't a whole lot to differentiate between the three.

I get it, some people prefer Twinkies, some prefer Zingers, but as Clark bars are no more...
