The Zagnut bar was launched in 1930, by the D. L. Clark Company of western Pennsylvania, which also made the Clark bar. Clark changed its name to the Pittsburgh Food & Beverage company and was acquired by Leaf International in 1983. The Zagnut brand was later part of an acquisition by Hershey Foods Corporation in 1996.

Zagnuts have a baked coconut coating while sister Clark bars are covered in rich chocolate. Both are amazing!!!
