Jos. Louis are a delicious plastic wrapped dessert consisting of two chocolate sponge cake rounds with a cream filling in between, within a milk chocolate shell. They resemble a chocolate version of the May West dessert.
Variations
The Jos. Louis is also available in a 30 grams half moon shape, called the 1/2 Jos. Louis. The Jos. Louis is also made in a bar shape version called the Jos. Louis choco-vanilla bar. The bar contains the normal cream filling found in the jos. Louis and also has a chocolate filling, the bar weighs 53 grams. The Half Moon cake produced by Vachon is essentially a Jos. Louis, but has a smaller portion size of 51 grams. Many people call it the half "loon" moon, due to the packaging which has the fraction 1/2 beside both the words lune, and moon (French and English, respectively). The Half Moon is available in either chocolate or vanilla flavours.
A Super Jos. Louis exists in individual format only, that increases the portion size from 68g to 100 grams. It has two layers of cream filing.
In 2006, Entenmann's began distributing a duplicate of the Half Moon in America, with Enten-Mini's Chocolate Half Rounds.
The Jos. Louis is now available in 100 calorie individual packages, with 16 individual packages in a box.
