Toms Yankie Kokos chocolate bar

The Yankie bar is a classic Danish confectionery item. It was originally launched by Toms Grupen in 1946, shortly after World War II, as a response to the demand for American-style chocolate bars. The name 'Yankie' was chosen to appeal to the popularity of American culture at the time.

The product is primarily manufactured in Denmark at Toms Group facilities. The brand remains under the ownership of Toms Gruppen A/S, which has evolved from a local Danish producer into a major Nordic confectionery player. The company is owned by the Toms Foundation (Gerda og Victor B. Strands Fond), which ensures that profits are redistributed to charitable causes in Denmark while maintaining the brand's heritage.
