Almond Joys are candy bars with a coconut and almond filling, surrounded by a layer of chocolate. The bar was introduced in 1946 and was acquired by The Hershey Company from Cadbury in 1988. Almond Joy comes with two large individual candies in one package.
Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut
Hershey's introduced a series of Almond Joy varieties in the early 21st century, most of which were released as limited edition flavors. These included pina colada, double chocolate, white chocolate, key lime, toasted coconut, milk chocolate and passion fruit.
Sometimes You Don't
Almond Joy is usually advertised hand-in-hand with its sister product, Mounds. The two are essentially the same coconut-based candy, though Mounds does not have almonds and is covered with dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
