Zagnut is a candy bar produced and sold in the United States. It was launched in 1930[1] by the D. L. Clark Company.[2] Clark eventually sold 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."[3] Bon Appetit, in a story abut nostalgic candy, said, "We’re honestly flummoxed that Zagnuts aren’t more popular."[1]
