- This is a taste test/review of three different candy bars: Nestle Butterfinger, Hershey’s 5th Avenue and NECCO Clark Bar.
* The Nestle Butterfinger is “crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery”. It was about $1. 1 bar = 250 calories
* The Hershey’s 5th Avenue is “crunchy peanut butter in a rich, chocolate coating”. It was about $1. 1 bar = 260 calories
* The NECCO Clark Bar is “real milk chocolate - real peanut butter crunch”. It was 89 cents at Big Lots. 1 bar = 260 calories

5th avenue to this day remains my favorite candy bar. I find them these days mostly in corner stores.
Jaime Miles Yes, or at gas stations.
Try your local CVS or off hand gas station bc bug brand gas stations don’t seem to carry them
5th Ave is my all time favorite I live in the south and out in the country you won't find it in the city but all country gas stations have it
5th avenue!!! My absolute favorite candy bar. They are so good crushed up in a shake
Eric Weirath I bet they are!
+Eric Weirath Mine, too.
Man this took me back to the early 90s or mid 90s when McDonald’s had that milkshake with butterfinger bits in it yum they were so addicting lol my mom would get mad bc I would say I don’t want food I want my butter finger shake lol or go back to the late 80s with hardeez silmer sundae with green slime lol now that was delicious
Back in the stone ages, there used to be something called milk chocolate. Nowadays a lot of this candy is made with something called compound chocolate. Which is pretty much cocoa, candle wax, and lard. What grand times we live in.
Clark Bars are now made by the Boyer Candy Company in PA.
Yesterday I tried my first 5th Avenue, YUM! I thought it was more tender than Butterfinger and also tasted a bit of honey. I'm so glad you guys compared them! And I've never had a Clark bar (I don't know who sells them around here... it's not a bar I see much or ever) but if it tastes like Palmer, 'nuf said! Curiosity sated.
I love 5th Avenue so much!
Generally, I prefer Butterfinger over 5th Avenue, but both are pretty good. 100% agree that the peanut butter is less present and the chocolate dominates with the 5th Avenue.
Interestingly, I don't think that Clark bars are made any more. After NECCO went under, and other companies bought their brands, Boyer (maker of the Mallow Cup) bought that. They seem to make a Clark Cup now, but no bar.
Another thing that is related but is very much its own beast is the Zagnut bar for Hershey's. It for goes chocolate all together and instead coats the bars in toasted coconut. I know all of this, as I recently did something of a comparative taste-test myself.
AWESOME BARS!!!
But that description got me thinking... if I were at that Big Lots and all I had was 89 cents... the clerk would've sold me a Clark Bar instead. I wouldn't mind.
Thank you Tami💕💙
You are so welcome :)
As a European I found out about 5th Ave through Stargate (1994). Later found out that 5th Ave used to have real milk chocolate, as well almonds, before Hershey bought it from Ludens. What a shame. Ref. Candyblog.net.
That is very interesting!
Yep, 5th Avenues were very different over 50 years ago...
th-cam.com/video/lxXjEQ--Km8/w-d-xo.html
It used to have whole or half almonds along the top, right under the chocolate coating.
I never liked Hershey chocolate and now they put artificial flavor in it. They also bought out Joseph Schmidt chocolates out of San Francisco and closed it down. Schmidt was much better than Hershey's.
I must say, of the three, 5th Avenue is my favorite of all. It has a more "crunchy" peanut butter, as opposed to Butterfinger, which is smoother. Clark Bar falls somewhere in the middle of the two. Wouldn't turn down any one of them, if offered to me, though.
5th Avenue candy bars are just wonderful!
5th avenue bar reigns as the best candy bar of all time. I disagree with the dude in the left saying thy aren't peanut buttery because they are more then butterfingers for sure.
I love 5th Avenue too! Thank you for watching!
5th Avenue is my fav, unfortunately they can trigger a migraine but they're worth it! Our Sam's Club no longer carries them :-( buying them off of Amazon now. Miss the 2, almond halves that they used to have on the top, but they're still the greatest.
Watchamacallit FTW!
5th avenues are better then butter fingers
What stop please
100%
5th Avenue has become my go-to since they destroyed the Butterfinger recipe
Yeah they did.
Destroyed? Do tell!!
Today, the Clark Bar uses its original formula pioneered by Irish immigrant David L. Clark in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1917.
This is very interesting. Thanks for watching!
@@EcmGas actually necco makes this version in Massachusetts
And Pittsburgh isnt known for molasses
If he thinks it is less peanuty and tastes like a Wheatabix, then Clark Bar has drastically changed its formula since I had them. But that was a long time ago. It used to be far more peanut butter and pleasantly chewy/crisp, than the Butterfingers.
In the UK I’ve only seen the Butterfinger in the American sections. They are delicious but hard to find.
they changed the recipe at the beginning of this year, so they won't be delicious for much longer lol :(
Wow... As a European I can say European chocolate is not bland.
Yea I was confused by that comparison. European chocolate is the best
Also the chocolate on those bars aren't real milk chocolate...
manchudds Correction: it's not as sickeningly sweet.
We also make Heinz beans and English people love em too
The Clark Bar isnt like most American candy bars it is blander
Necco in Massachusetts bought them out a while ago
Now theyre back in PA at Boyer since 2018
It's from New England Candy Company (Necco) so it's actually known as a Clahk Bah.
The Carbor????
5th Avenue are among my all time favorite chocolate bars. I live in Canada and the only place i can find them are at specialty candy stores..
Butterfinger tastes nothing like peanut butter to me... 5th Avenues are easily my second favorite candy next to reeses
Not that it matters since Clark bars are currently out of production, but that was obviously an old bar. When they are fresh the flavor profile is different (basically all the same comment that were made about the Butterfinger).
I 've had all 3 of these before, I never chose any of these when I want a candy bar, as Kit Kat is easy to find.
Yes 5th Avenue is my favorite
It’s delicious!!
A fresh 5th Avenue bar is so good!
I agree!
Can’t forget those chick o sticks lol whatever they are called lol I love those also almost like a butterfinger without chocolate
You should try a crispy crunch from canada. They taste great, like a butterfinger but much better
When in Canada I love Coffee Crisp. I found a guy on the internet who lives in Buffalo, NY who ships Canadian candy to the states. Also love Smarties, which are like M & Ms but better.
I really like NECCO products but I agree with Tami with them being hard to find. New England is the easiest area to find them though. Although Clark is not my favorite I do enjoy them from time to time. I like all three in this video too, but like Andrew said they are not your teeth's friend lol so I usually get softer candy.
Berkshire Bacon Lover I thought I would enjoy the Clark bar, but it did not hold a candle to the other two.
+Berkshire Bacon Lover Of course NECCO=NEW ENGLAND Confectionery Co.
Clark bar are the best but they're hard to find everybody knows Butterfinger because it advertised the hell out of it. If you like Butterfinger you'll love Clark bar, don't believe me? try it.
Have y'all tried a candy bar called zero?
+brittany wallace Yes: th-cam.com/video/z8sCyu3udhs/w-d-xo.html
I've heard of them have you tried u-no's?
I had Butterfinger and small rolls of Neccos (yes, they have them in smal and large sizes) yesterday., Also a few days ago another peanut butter candy and anothe rin many sizes, Chick-o-stick, smallest size, two inches, and Melster brand Circus Peanuts at Dollar Tree.
I love sweets and could eat more than anyone but one half of a Zero bar would make weak and dizzy.
5th Avenue is my favorite and then butterfinger
FYI The clark bar is the only one made with actual chocolate.
I like the Clark bar
Thanks for watching!
Yeah. 5th Avenue Bars are almost similar to Reese's Peanut Butter products.
Snickers is 250 cals also
I plead the "5th"! ❤❤
Man the way he looked after trying the 5th avenue said it all lol
Thank you for watching!
I like Butterfinger. Never tried 5th Avenue or Clark Bar. Good review fellas.
+Lila Arce Skip the Clark Bar, but please, please try the 5th Avenue. It is fantastic :)
Probably should of checked the date on the Clark bar lol that what I do when I buy butterfingers and 5th Avenue but when the 5th is getting hard to find lol I find them at my local CVS an that’s about it sadly and butter and the 5ths are great but check the dates if they are 5 months or more from expiration then get them 👍🏻 if they almost or expired stay away lol I haven’t had Clark in decades so can’t say much
5th ave is the only one made with real milk chocolate from hershey. The rest are dull chocolate like. The 5th avenue chocolate is hands down better but the inside of butterfinger is better. Wish i could have 5th ave chocolate on butterfinger core.
You need to look for Reese’s Crispy Crunchy bar.
I loved Clark bars when I was a kid. I have not had one in probably 30 years or more :)
Craft Corner with Esther C I really thought it would be the same as the other two, but it is world's apart. Honestly, we wouldn't buy it again.
Love 5th Ave
5th avenue is the best candy bar ever made,,,,, in my opinion of course..... I have eaten them for 65 years, lol
I love them too!
I have never had a 5th Avenue candy bar in my life. I'm not sure why? I remember loving Clark Bars.
They are incredible!
What about Heath bars?
5th Ave is number one Candy Bar of all time!
We only have butterfingers here. Never had the other two. 5th Avenue sounds yum!
Julia You will be in love with the 5th Avenue ;)
A friend just gave me a box of mini Clark Bars. I've never had them before, and wondered if they were like Butterfingers. Decided to watch some TH-cam reviews before I opened the box. :)
Thank you for watching!
I know Clark Cups were available at Cracker Barrel when I found them a few weeks ago.
Yes! th-cam.com/video/_sYhLGENFSY/w-d-xo.html
Clark Bars aren't well known anymore and are hard to find. They are the oldest combination candy bar dating back to 1917 made by the same family for years in Pittsburgh. They lost their popularity as the company has been bought and sold many times. They need an owner who can make them with the original recipe and manufacturing process and better marketing. If you bought a cheap Clark Bar at Big Lots, it's obviously from some old, unsold stash so now it's Big Lots turn to unload them. Get a fresh Clark Bar and you might have a different opinion. Clark Bars and Zagnuts were more common and so much better tasting than Butterfingers and 5th Avenues while I was a kid in the Pittsburgh area.
The 5th avenue bars are hard to find now
Or at least not as easy
I agree!
Where did you find that 5th Avenue?! I have been trying to track those down for a long time!😮
This video is 7 years old. 😊
@@TamiDunnDon't worry, I know. I just wanted to figure out what store you got it from!😊
Bp gas station
When I was a child, Clark bars was the only candy bar I would eat. I don't think I've ever had a Fifth Avenue Bar. And Butterfingers are just way too sweet for me. Thank you so much for this video.. because I was literally sitting here wondering what the difference was between the three.
Butterfingers is made with cornflakes
🤔
Of coarse the Clark Bar has less saturated fat than the regular saturated fat bars.
Thanks for watching!
How about doing a taste comparison with Pearson's Salted Nut Roll, Pay Day candy bar, and the salted nut roll that is made by Russell Stover.
Mary Archer That's a great idea! It may be a while, but we will have to try it.
im in UK, i can only get butterfingers, help lol
5th avenues are my favorite candy bar, and far superior to Butterfinger (way too sweet, and the filling is too hard/sticky and fake orange colored) or Clark (which is almost impossible to find). I've noticed over the past couple of years 5th avenues seem to be getting more popular again, with more stores carrying them. I'm pretty sure the only reason Butterfinger outsells them is because they spend so much more on marketing and have Bart Simpson as a mascot.
I loved Butterfinger until they changed them a few years ago. I haven’t bought one since. 5th Avenue are definitely superior!
The 5th avenue is the best candy bar
I agree!
you guys remember the Marathon bar back in the day?
I never had one.
it only lasted from 1973 to 1981
5th Avenue are the best, butterfingers are also good if fresh.
***** We totally agree!
The Butterfinger's new and improved receipe sucks, it's not as good as it used to be. The Clark Bar and 5th Avenue are the ones I go to now.
5th Ave use to be so much better, had real chocolate instead of the fake they have now.
How bout a Zagnut!?
th-cam.com/video/z8sCyu3udhs/w-d-xo.html
its like a poor mans butterfinger but with peanut butter. i like 5th avenue better than the wht trash butterfinger
I love 5th Avenue!
I do too!
5th avenue all the way
Clark Bars > Butter Finger > 5th Avenue
I think I have a Butterfinger in my pantry. lol
Eclairsu I ate a Butterfinger every day for at least a year. I love them.
5️⃣th ⚠️Nue
5th avenue is probably the best american candy bar. Then followed by a snickers sweet and salty. Other than those two, i dont really like american candy bars ....
butterfingers are much more solid then the others 5th avenue is much more flaky, and the Clark i think is gorse and very dull in flavor.
a bunch of crud gets stuck to your teeth
+Xploder yeeep
+steve lafogg I will never buy a Clark bar again.
Fifth avenue is the best. Butterfingers are always stale
I love a 5th Avenue!
