Forgotten Clark Crush Bar makes a comeback

• The recipe had been lost for nearly 50 years, per the candymaker.

Context: Irish immigrant D.L. Clark created the original chocolate-covered peanut butter crunch bar in Pittsburgh in 1917. Produced for decades on the North Side, Clark Bars fueled troops through two world wars and became a nostalgic American classic.

• The candy weathered decades of ownership changes before production stopped in 2018. Boyer later brought the original bar back.
• Now, its lesser-known sibling is getting the same treatment.

Where to snag one: Find the bars at Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop locations in the Strip District, Mt. Lebanon, Canonsburg and Beaver for $2.29, or buy bulk directly through Boyer's website.
