"Jos. Louis" is a plastic-wrapped confection consisting of two chocolatey sponge cake rounds with a cream filling within a milk chocolate shell. It resembles a chocolate version of the Mae West dessert.
Variations
The Jos. Louis is also available in a 30-gram half-moon shape, called the 1/2 Jos. Louis. The Jos. Louis is also made in a bar-shaped 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 and 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.
A Super Jos. Louis exists in individual format only, with an increase in portion size from 68 to 100 grams. It has two layers of cream filing.
In 2006, Entenmann's began distributing a duplicate of the Half Moon in the US, 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.
