Mountain Bar is a chocolate bar made by Brown & Haley, Inc. Mountain Bars consist of chocolate and peanuts molded around one of three flavored fillings: vanilla, peanut butter or cherry.

The Mountain Bar was created in 1915 at Brown & Haley Co. in Tacoma, Washington.[1] Originally called Mount Tacoma Bars, the name was changed in 1925 after Brown & Haley began distribution of the candy in Seattle.[2] Shortly after World War II a cherry version of the Mountain Bar was introduced. This was followed by the peanut butter variety in 1974.[3] Cappuccino and Mint flavored Mountain Bars were briefly available in 2010.[4]

As of 2020, all Mountain Bars were produced at the Brown & Haley factory on East 26th Street in Tacoma.[5]
