Jos Louis
Jos Louis is a Canadian confection consisting of two chocolate cake rounds with a creamy filling within a milk chocolate shell, made by Vachon Inc. It resembles a chocolate version of the May West dessert. It was created in 1932 and named after two of the Vachon sons, Joseph and Louis ("Jos" is a traditional contraction of "Joseph"). However, as the May West was named after the popular American actress Mae West, a misconception exists that the Jos Louis was named after the popular American boxer Joe Louis born in 1914.
