Zagnut is a candy bar produced and sold in the United States. It was launched in 1930^[1] by the D. L. Clark Company of western Pennsylvania, which also made the Clark bar.^[2]^[3]^[4] Clark changed its name to the Pittsburgh Food & Beverage company and in 1995 declared bankruptcy,^[3] selling Zagnut to Leaf,^{[citation needed]} which was ultimately acquired by Hershey Foods Corporation,^[2] in 1996.^{[citation needed]} Its main ingredients are peanut butter and toasted coconut.^[1]

The candy bar never gained popularity. A columnist in the Des Moines Register compared it to a Rose Art crayon, saying "No one would ever purposely choose a Zagnut."^[5] Bon Appetit, in a story about nostalgic candy, said, "We’re honestly flummoxed that Zagnuts aren’t more popular."^[1]
