My local Wal-Mart sells the full-size Clark Bars in packs of four.

Maybe yours does, too? I only started seeing them there in the past month or so, but I noticed them right away because I always pay very close attention to new additions to the chocolate/candy aisle. I am in Canada, so maybe US Wal-Marts won’t carry them. But at least there’s hope?

Clark bars and Sky bars are probably my top two favorite candy bars of all time (though I go back and forth on which one takes the No. 1 spot). I can always get Sky bars at Cracker Barrel, but Clark bars are so hard to find in my area! They had them at Big Lots for a while, but I bought all of them and they haven’t got any more back in. I have found one gas station that carries them, but they’re pretty old. In fact, they’re so old that they’re chewy rather than crunchy. Nonetheless, I still pick one up every now and then. (Yes, Clark bars are that good!)

Try 5th Avenue bars. They are the same as Clark bars only with alomonds on top.

Had a Zagnut just the other week. They are are to find here. Clark bars were my childhood favorite.

Thank God my area has 2 local grocery store chains with “retro” candy sections. I was able to find full size Clark bars there. They are way better than Butterfingers. I’ll have to check out Walgreen’s too next time I’m out that way.

I love Clark bars! I just discovered them a few years ago. Some people I was house-sitting for had a bowl of mini Clark bars for me to give to trick-or-treaters. Um, I’m so sorry to confess that not all the bars went out the kids because they were so yummy I couldn’t help myself. I’m with you – I love that they don’t stick to my teeth the way Butterfingers do.

Spooky, I purchased mine at Walgreens. I found it in the candy aisle where they have the bags dangling from hooks.

You never had a Clark bar? You poor deprived person. A Butterfinger is just a sad and very poor substitute for a Clark bar–if, and only if–you can’t get a Clark bar. And where did you get this bag you found one in? I also have VERY great fondness for Banana Splits and especially Necco Wafers! Almighty! That bag sounds like a sack full of heaven! Next you’ll be telling me it had Zagnuts and Mallomars in it, too! I NEED one of those bags! Please, I beg you, where can I get one of those bags!!!!

I’ve always preferred the Clark over the Butterfinger. Fortunately I’ve managed to live in areas that have it, it’s definitely one of those bars that you find in out of the way places though.
