website<\/a>, was found \u201ctucked away in the archives.\u201d The recipe \u2014 which calls for infusing chocolate with peanut butter and pieces of Clark crunch \u2014 had been forgotten for nearly 50 years, the candymaker said.<\/p>\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a new Clark Bar. It\u2019s a piece of Clark history brought back to life,\u201d said Anthony Forgione II, CEO of Boyer Candy Co. Inc. \u201cWhen we discovered this recipe in the archives, we knew we had found something special. Clark has such a deep history in Pennsylvania, and generations of people have a connection to this brand. Bringing the Clark Crush Bar back gives fans a chance to experience another chapter of that history.\u201d<\/p>\n
The original Clark Bar was invented in Pittsburgh in 1917.<\/p>\n
For people looking to try the sweet treat, Grandpa Joe\u2019s Candy Shop in Pittsburgh\u2019s Strip District is giving away free Clark Crush Bars to the first 100 customers in line at 9 a.m. Wednesday as part of a launch celebration with Boyer.<\/p>\n
The Clark Crush Bar also will be available at Grandpa Joe\u2019s Candy Shop\u2019s locations in Mt. Lebanon, Canonsburg and Beaver.<\/p>\n
\u201cPittsburgh has an incredible connection to the Clark Bar,\u201d said Christopher J. Beers, founder and CEO of Grandpa Joe\u2019s Candy Shop. \u201cYou mention Clark Bars around here and people immediately have a memory or a story. That sense of nostalgia is a huge part of what we do at Grandpa Joe\u2019s, so when Boyer approached us about helping bring this piece of Clark history back to Pittsburgh, it was a perfect fit.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Clark Crush Bar is being made in limited quantities, Boyer said in a news release.<\/p>\n
