Sorry, Belinda, Peanut Butter Twix is not even close! Maybe we're all psychic and they're planning to re-release them in the near future! This TEMPLE OF ANSWER that i met on this was my God of savior please contact them now if you are having same problem email is templeofanswer@hotmail.co.uk phone number is +2348155425481. Far better than anything out their now!!! I was a Nabisco Sales Rep for over 30 yrs retiring in 2002. the Ideal Peanut Butter bars were a fall and winter cookie as was the Choc Pinwheels. What can we do to have Nabisco make these cookies again? They were the Cadillac of commercial cookies. Perhaps Nabisco has a deal with Reeses that they will not compeet! They were great. I can speak for the rest of our clan and say Nabisco bring back the Ideal Cookie Bars and make the world a sweeter place. It's just barely enough for the 2 pie crusts I needed to make this morning, where it used to be plenty with leftovers. They were so good. I know it sounds crazy but all of these comments made me feel better. Even just a small note to bring back a beautiful cookie to me would be one step closer. Best cookie ever made!! Let us unite and show the company. HAHAHA! I LOVED THEM and MISS THEM. Years ago I ran across these cookies for the last time while on a ski trip at incline village Nevada - I bought 2 bags and planned to bring 1 home but they didn't make it all the way home :-), Holy Crap!!!!! Every trip down the cookie isle, I scan every shelf looking for them. You would think in the year 2010 they could figure out some solution to the melting problem. It works perfectly. Are there any other theories out there? Gastro Obscura covers the worlds most wondrous food and drink. Now that I have my own home I would love to have them back. I too have longed for these Ideal cookie bars. If anyone is lucky enough to live somewhere close to a Trader Joe's, then you need to go and buy their Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzels!! There is nothing close to them. Here's the Kraft customer service number: 877-535-5666 or you can email Nabisco: cis@nabisco.com Take a couple of minutes and make the request. I've written Nabisco, and now the parent company Kraft, several times and I usually receive a form email back. IF WE ALL MAKE A CALL WITHIN THE NEXT 3 DAYS, MAYBE THEY MIGHT WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE; WHICH BY THE WAY GOES GREAT WITH AN "IDEAL" BAR. Does anyone remember how some of them used to be more rounded and others were flatter? My Mother kept these IDEAL Peanut Butter Cookie Logs in the Bread Box part of our shelvesthey were maybe three inches long and sorta like a flatted log.dark rich chocolate, didn't taste cheap.and had an inner crispy peanut butter filling, with some moisture.something like a Clark Bar taste, only a bit more of a cookie. I would sneak one or two every once in a while. Nabisco has been making Teddy Grahams since 1988, according to The Retro Network.Almost immediately after debuting, the sweet treats became staples in kids' lunch boxes and a favorite after-school snack. I'm on a mission now!!! Ideal cookies were a great part of childhood. Ideal chocolate Peanut Bars were the best cookie product ever produced. Nabisco is owned by Kraft Foods. I miss them!! Kim McMiller Associate Director, Consumer Relations. The rest, as they say, is history. Love them and really wish they would bring them back the SAME as the were! I had no idea there were so many Ideal Bar fans out there. Wouldn't you think Nabisco would want make some bucks and satisfy the public by bringing this cookie back to market? I'm beginning to wonder if these were laced with cocaine! This site was so fun to find. - Touche, old man! I found that the peanut butter Twix is similar, but these are hard to find. I looked forward to autumn when they would reappear at Thriftway supermarket. I would love to have them again. There obviously must have been a quiet, well financed deal made for Nabisco to "bow out" of the competition! It's a shame, and the list is rather long best cookie that I remember from my childhood have tried to find them for years without success used to sneak into my dads stash because they were so good have called and wrote a letter to Nabisco or rather Kraft and am waiting for an answer as to why that they cant bring them back it is so nice to know that I am not alone comforting to know that someone else knows exactly what cookie was so great in the 70's. My Mom too kept these hidden as much as possible because we would devour them. Shopping with 5 children apparently wasn't easy, so she would bribe us with Ideal bars. How can those gawdawful Nilla wafers survive all these years while the ultimate cookie -- the Ideal Bar -- is retired? I would love to sit down and devour a few of them right now. I have been craving them for years. I'm looking for a cookie that my dad and I used to eat when i was little I belive they were Heydays or maydays similar to a 1000 Grand bar with wafer cookie and carmel and rice krispies does anyone remember??????? Please, Nabisco, Please! They were such a treat and bring back such fond childhood memories! One of my sisters used to buy them and lock them up un her room. I am not the only one to miss them SO much:) I would buy these religiously if they were made again. Why did they discontinue the cookies!! He was going on about what happened to "his" peanut butter bars. When mom would buy them at the grocer's she had to hide them!!! http://www.nabiscoworld.com/misccontent/contactus/contact.aspx?m=cu_form2&age=3&coppa=False&prod=True&sub=335 opps ;), My letter wasnt enough to bring em back, lets do this ppl :) Here's Nabiscos reply: Hi Dan, Thank you for visiting http://www.nabiscoworld.com and for your interest in Kraft Foods. I have tried the "similar" to Ideal Cookies, but nobody can capture that flavor and the joy that those cookies brought to my family. With so many people wanting them I can't believe Nabisco doesn't bring them back--I'd be first in line for a box. I had no idea when I typed the name ideal peanut butter bars into google how many like minded souls there would be!! Maybe it will be a slow day and they might make a story of these great cookies and all the devote followers craving their return.. Perhaps this way Nabisco might open their eyes. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYONE FROM NABISCO THAT COULD STRT THESE BACK UP? Four pages of comments from people all over wanting a certain item back from Nabisco. The taste brought back a memory from 30+ years ago. they are the best. "Squeaky wheel gets the IDEAL" Put this in your Header to Nabisco. I miss the darn things too. I need one for myself!). Nothing compares!!! I have never tried them. I remember the package being a single layer of chocolate dipped peanut butter bars, maybe about a dozen lined up back to back. It appears we're not alone! I was told way back in the 70's also that they quit making them during the warm months.. and then never started making them again one year. After a few seconds the insides would be all smooshy. I was telling my children and my husband about it. They were very good/, So there's no way to get these anymore then? It reminds me of that great Ideal Peanut Butter Bar Taste. I aqree that with all the boring cookies out there and the market for gourmet cookies Nabisco couldn't find a way to market them or sell the recipie to a gourmet cookie company who could market them. And that was the keythe slightly salty peanut butter. I still look at the grocery store shelves to see if they are there. I have tried to find an alternative over the years, to no avail. Once this decision is made, we stop making the product and the remaining supply is shipped from our warehouse to the grocery stores. i loved the ideal bars, tagalongs are good, also little debbie has a good one, peanut butter bars almost the exact of the ideal bar, i always wipe that one off the shelf, bring back the ideal bar nabisco. Nabisco is not afraid of experimenting with its Oreo flavors. I sent an email directly to the company and didn't even receive the courtesy of a reply. I was thinking of a nice surprise that I could get my two sisters who will soon be turning 50. I often times tell my family about this cookie. I miss those doggone ideal bars!!!! And they completely disintegrate in your hand when you take a bite! I stated there was only 1 cookie worth remembering and that was IDEAL cookies, It is true, there has never been a better cookie made than those Ideal bars and never will. I actually contacted them and they said if they heard from enough people they might consider bringing them back. Youd be surprised how many companies are hoarding trademarks, Kassoff told The Consumerist in 2014. I would, I loved them. Midnight munchies were also a time to slip away to savor these delectable treats. Bring 'em back Nabisco it's time!!! google_color_border = "E7F0EB"; The Oreo is a cookie that embraces contradictions, wrote architecture critic Paul Golderberger. Please let me find Ideal PB cookie bars on our cookie shelves. It seemed to make the enjoyment last longer. Nabisco workers had said their first strike in 52 years is about keeping what they already had as employees producing Oreo cookies, Ritz crackers and other snacks for Nabisco parent Mondelez . Now I found Little Debbies has a larger bar named Crunch that taste like the Ideal cookies. I google searched "Ideal Cookies". Nabisco PLEASE bring them back!!! She would check out with a half full package. NABISCO, WHY DID YOU STOP MAKING THEM???!!! I have tried to substitute the Little Debbies, but they are not a match. these must be brought back they would fly off the shelves..these were me and my sisters favorite cookies!!! Its an idea, and it might be similar. When we wanted peanut butter and chocolate at my house when I was a kid in the '60s and '70s, these are what we ALWAYS got. LOL I swear I wish they would bring those cookies back. I have tried all the "almost Ideal Bars". Pretty close! Not identical, but MUCH better than the Little Debbie's version. The absolute BEST cookie ever produced on this planet in my lifetime. Oh how I loved these cookies! My mom always kept a package in the house. For the longest time, I refused to believe that Ideal bars (we always called them bars) weren't being made anymore. I think of these cookies often. We would all definitely be willing to spend our hard earned money on a package of those awesome ideal bars! The company started as a bakery in Massachusetts in 1792, baking and selling biscuits called "pilot bread" for sailors on sea voyages. I use to eat them all the time and was sad when they stopped making them. I must say that I am rather in accord with the previous statement by Tom. No purchase necessary. Please bring them back. )which got me thinking again about the best cookie ever, IDEAL! If he were alive he'd want them back, too. My kids love peanut butter and chocolate, I know they would devour these! Oh yesHow I remember those cookies "Ideal Cookies" they were the best cookie I have every eatenI wish Nabisco would make them again. I have to do a thorough search in the cookie aisle a couple of times a year. There are none like them. No luck, so we checked another, and another. Is it my distorted memory or were Ideal Peanut Butter Bars only available in the fall and winter? It is claimed to be the best-selling U.S. peanut butter sandwich cookie, with around a billion estimated to be eaten every year. She used to hide them so us kids wouldn't eat them all. mmmmMMMMmmmmmMMMMMM!!!!! COME BACK FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These were a chocolate covered cookie shaped like a small candybar. Please bring them back! Nothing made today compares! Please bring them back! I hope nabisco reads these comments and realizes the disappointment to many famalies with the loss of a simple cookie. I have never tasted anything remotely like the Ideal bars. Ideal Barks popped into my mind last week and I asked my husband to look for them at the store. :}, P.S. I'm from CT,and my Dad would buy them whenever they were available. my Daddy just passed away recently @ 86 so these memories are running rampant through my mind. I was in elementary school and my Mother used to buy these cookies for herself and give us kids two and hide the rest. We DO need them back - no other cookie/candy bar compares! WHY did they ever stop making them WHY?????????? "You have to have the right. I miss them. I had always kept an eye out for these and time to time I would find them (and buy a few boxes!!! I still remember them and I'm going to write to Nabisco/Kraft asking them to bring them back! Once I tried to carefully dig out the peanut butter then eat the cookie. I'm going to the web site to put in a request. bummer. I can still taste them. What happened to capitalism? NOTHING COMPARES, not even close.Ideal Bars were easily the greatest cookie ever mass produced,SORRY OREO, but its true. I would absolutely love to introduce these cookies to my adult children and grands. Last I saw them was the early 1980s. i thought my husband and i were the only ones that missed these cookins, boy was i wrong. Another option for you might be to spread peanut butter on Ritz crackers, dip them in melted chocolate chips, let cool and consume. I was a good climber too. If you don't believe me, read this: http://www.inthe70s.com/food/idealcookies0.shtml When are you going to wise up and bring back the best cookie you ever made? These cookies were literally like crack. Nabisco reportedly discontinued the cookies because they often broke in the packaging and were too expensive to produce. I would bite off one end and submerge it in a glass of ice cold milk, it would absorb the milk and the center would be soft encased in the crunchy chocolate. My best friend in grade school used to get them every week, and she would share! Please bring them back. I want one so much! . I had a friend in Missouri I used to mail seeveral packages at a time to around Christmas. See answer (1) Best Answer Copy Nabisco says that when enough people request the cookies, they will bring them back. They were the best. I am happy to have finally found the name of my absolutely favorite cookie of my life!! I wrote the Nabisco Company a few years ago and they said they stopped making Ideal Bars because they were not selling as good as they wanted. I hope that they bring these delicious cookies back to the grocery store shelves or sell the recipe to someone else. It seems like we ought to be able to recreate a recipe - anyone? They were wonderful. Still not quite the same.all time faveoriate cookie ever - even better than Mallowmars! I can still see the package,,,,, it was dark brown with a flat orange trim.they were THE BOMB. I immediatly thought about Ideal cookies for the first time in many years, looked on Google and found this site. But then I would probably gain 10 pounds! Yes!!! I think it must be at least 25 years since they were available. I have NEVER tasted another cookie that was anywhere near as great as Ideals. I remember these well, I too have discussed with Nabisco about getting these back on the shelf,but no I have to make do with my home made peanutbutter chocolate bars pretty good but not an Ideal bar. I would reach into the long, rectangular box; the bars would be cold to the touch, yet even at first contact my chubby hands would leave tell-tale fingerprints on the cookies I touched. Buy the Grandma's peanut butter sandwich creme cookies or Nutter Butter, but Grandmas is better to get the taste. I think the best advise we read was to write to Nabisco. I really love these cookies also! He's asked me to search a few novelty shops (i.e., Cracker Barrell etc.) i didnt no they stopped making them i thought they were hard to find because they didnt make enough.i dont even buy cookies anymore they s__k that was the only cookie. I am emclosing the text of the email. My grandmother, mother, step-dad and other relatives use to work for Nabisco (anywhere from office, management & factory workers). OMIGOSH!!!! OMG!My aunt worked for Nabisco for years and brought us samples,damaged,etc.I would kill for Ideal cookies in the orange box :)God Bless Katherine. I cannot believe this many people loved Ideal cookies as much as me and my sister and Nabisco will not bring them back!!! THE LITTLE DEBBIE ONES ARENT THAT BAD AT ALL BUT THEY ARE NOT IDEAL.THE ORIGINAL..SO CMON GANG EVERYONE GO TO NABISCO AND WRITE THEM A LETTER,TELL THEM ALL THE PEOPLE ON THIS SITE AND MAYBE THEY WILL MAKE THEM AGAIN , My favorite cookie above all was Ideal. I just had a brainstorm on how to get close to that flavor again though! They are both treasured cookies. Board members cower before the notion of diminished profits and will never stand for the reintroduction of a product, no matter how beloved, if that product cannot yield profits alternatively higher than some other. ideal cookies were the absolute best! Price would not be a factor for sales of the greatest cookie ever.
