The 5th Avenue is a candy bar introduced in 1936, consisting of peanut butter crunch layers enrobed in chocolate.^[1] It is currently produced and marketed by The Hershey Company.^[2]

The bar is similar to the Clark Bar which was first produced in Pittsburgh in 1917 by the D.L. Clark Company, now produced by the Boyer Candy Company of Altoona, Pennsylvania. 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.
