About Almond Joy
Almond Joy is a coconut bar with almonds in milk chocolate, launched in 1946 alongside the almond-free Mounds in dark chocolate. Their joint advertising, about sometimes feeling like a nut, is among the most quoted confectionery lines in America. Both bars came to Hershey from Peter Paul, which had made Mounds since 1920, through a merger completed in 1988.
