Discontinuing them to develop a more profitable product may have made some punk executive a bonus but in doing so the Nabisco brand was greatly diminished. But the cookies design, which was initially sold with an exotic English biscuit twist, was pretty interesting for its era: With an industrial press from a mold, the cookie took on the look of a flower. It has been years since I have had an Ideal cookie bar and I can still taste them. My mother also tried her best to keep these wonderful cookies to herself and we made a game of finding where she had hidden them and sneak 1m or 2, but of course she always knew. NOTHING COMPARES, not even close.Ideal Bars were easily the greatest cookie ever mass produced,SORRY OREO, but its true. I'd bite a little hole into each end, then suck milk up into it like it was a straw. I've been looking for them for years-I was thinking maybe I just didn't remember the name and that's why I couldn't find them. Man I loved those things. I used to ask for them in my Easter basket and in my Christmas stocking! There is a Facebook on bring back the ideal cookie .someone said they talked to nabisco and they said they would consider it if enough people pushed for them back. #SnackCation. Oh so very good. The peanut butter part of the Ideals was slightly salty, and that is what made it so good. I never got over losing the Ideal Bars. If we get enough attention it will spread like wildfire. When Nabisco first started, the biscuit cookies and crackers were stored in large bins, or cracker barrels and sold at country grocery stores by the scoopful. Aside from this, I remember not only the great flavors of those treats but the sheer QUALITY of them and all of Nabisco products. Still crave them . They were so delicious out of the refrigerator. I was telling my children and my husband about it. Pretty close! This cookie was by far the most delicious blend of flavors you could ever ask for. I also feel the same way about the old Hershey 'Bar None' candy bar, which only lasted a short timeduring the 1990's. Sometimes Mom hid them - they lasted about a day, cost a little more than most other cookies and were worth every dime. The cookie was great, the package was great. I too was an Ideal Bar Addict. I LOVED these exact cookies too. Everyone that leaveas a comment on this page should go to http://www.nabiscoworld.com/misccontent/contactus/contact.aspx?m=cu_form1 and tell Nabisco that you want those cookies back!!! i thought my husband and i were the only ones that missed these cookins, boy was i wrong. They were by far the best store bought cookie EVER made. I am sending an email to Nabisco to lodge my question tonight. The critical part was having enough peanut butter vs. the cookie and coconut part. Feel free to have friends and family make additional requests. I just got home from the store. i loved the ideal bars myself, little debbie has somthing simalar the peanut butter bar which is a close fascimile there of. That is absurd in a world where Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are one of Hershey's #1 sale items. Hi, it;s me again. There was only one store in our little town that carried them. I'm about 10 years younger than my siblings and they used to have us begging like dogs just to get the cookies. They were great to have on hand whenever company came over. NABISCO..PLEASE BRING THE IDEAL COOKIES BACK!!!! I love Ideal cookies!!! I remember them well. I loved those cookies. I recall that from late 60's to late 70's my mom would buy the cheap "kiddie" cookies for us, and Ideal Peanut Butter Bars for herself, which she would keep in the fridge. I agree I would pay $10 for ideals the only cookie i liked. THAT'S true love. which are offered at higher prices. I hated to see that they discontinued them!!!!!!! I wrestled with my weight as a kid in the late 70's, yet every once in a while my mom would secretly buy a box of these rich logs of dark chocolately goodness, if only to show her undying love for me, her only begotten son. He's not a peanut butter fan, so I don't think he really cares if Nabisco brings them back. I will go on the newsdo commercials for you.whatever it takes! Mondelez International, the Illinois-based parent company that makes Oreo cookies, announced in July that it plans to invest $130 million in four state-of-the-art manufacturing lines that will. Was there some ingredient used which is now illegal? We usually had to have two packages: one for Dad, and one for the kids. We should all go to Nabisco.com and start a write in campaign to resurrect them! My mom used to keep them in the refrigerator. I wish they would bring them back too! I loved those cookies. I encourage all you IDEAL fans to reach out to Nabisco too. I would love for my grandchildren to experience the best taste I have EVER tasted in my lifetime! Please let me find Ideal PB cookie bars on our cookie shelves. The absolute best cookie I have ever had. They, too, were far superior to ANYTHING available today!!!! Whoever bought it or felt the need to make a change . The closest thing I found to these are the little Debbie peanut Butter bars that are very simular in shape. To the lady who stated that little debbie bars tasted like the ideal bars, must not ever had the real Nabisco Ideal bars. Cannot understand why Nabisco will not bring them back. Oreo was one of three cookies introduced by Nabisco on April 2, 1912, with the other twothe Mother Goose biscuit and the Veronese biscuitnow lost to history. !I've never had a cookie I've enjoyed as much. Or give it to the Girl Scouys. I would love Nabisco to bring this delicious chocolate delightful cookie back! Please bring it back if for limited time. They were too good to have just one, just two - maybe four!!! Over 70% of the cookie aisle from ALL cookie manufacturers is taken up by CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!! Ideal chocolate Peanut Bars were the best cookie product ever produced. Ideal bars were the best cookies ever made! Nabisco is owned by Kraft Foods. I called it and REALLY let a customer service rep know what they need to do. The reason these cookies were discontinued was because the chocolate would melt during shipping which caused a quality problem. These were the BEST cookies EVER!! Yes, please bring the Ideal Peanut Butter Bars back along with the Hey Deys, the crispy chocolate carmel bar. Hey NABISCO ITS TIME!!! I remember my sister's boyfriend was incredulous (although he should not have been given stories that I have since heard). You would think in the year 2010 they could figure out some solution to the melting problem. Same with everything else, you love something, they quit making it. You won't be sorry!! LET US ALL PROMISE TO CALL NABISCO AND PLEAD FOR THEM TO BRING BACK THIS COOKIE. Those packages sure did go fast! Maybe we could petition to get them backwho is with me, OMG! "Correction" I called this Cookie a candy bar in my rush..my apologies. I miss them. I can see the package and taste those things right now. One time my sister's boyfriend was over and things were a bit tense. I have never tasted anything remotely like the Ideal bars. And what about them not being big sellers? Get the peanut butter filled pretzel bits from Trader Joe's and dip them in melted dark chocolate. As a matter of fact,they were terrible. One of my all time favorite cookies in the whole world!!!!! Bring em back at any cost Nabisco we will pay any ransom. MUST. Ideal. Weird how so many people miss it like I do. O. O U. U U U UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. I have tried the "similar" to Ideal Cookies, but nobody can capture that flavor and the joy that those cookies brought to my family. It is such a good memory of my grandma. Intended to imply hydrogen and oxygenthe two chemicals that make up waterthe result has a more clinical, less roll-off-the-tongue convention to it, and instead evokes hydrogen peroxide, a chemical you probably dont want to drink. Very upset when it was discontinued. I was surprised to find out how many other people loved those cookies as much as I did. And that was the keythe slightly salty peanut butter. Were screwed. Bacon flavored Ritz Crackers are flaky and delicious with a savory taste thats perfect for pairing, topping, or popping. I thought they might only be a local New England product but see now it was nation wide. I was so bummed when they discontinued them. We kept them in the refrigerator and they typically lasted less than a day. I loved them so much that I actually got them as a gift on my birthday. ideal cookies are the best cookies ever made. He was amazed that I knew what he was asking. Sorry Mother and Daddy, you couldn't stop us!!! Miss them so much. were they to good for human cunsumption? http://www.mondelezinternational.com/ ( MondelezInternationaldotcom)has bought out the snack division of Nabisco. OMG I have the same problem finding Nalley's Chip dip in all stores, another one of those tastes from the past My sister and I just got back from a road trip down the coast of Oregon and then back up I-5 going North. E-mail your local news station with this link. No other cookie compares! It was one of the best treats she couldve given to us. The taste is still on the tip of my tongue. Wow, I was checking the internet to try to find the recipe for my mom since she said they do not make them anymore. Nabiso failed when they discontinued this winner. Fan of SnackWell's Devil's Food Cookie Cakes grapples with new version It works perfectly. my mother and I would share IDEAL cookies and talk. See. Please bring them back! I thought I was the only person who could remember these cookies! I would love to see these cookies back in the grocery store, or even available through online ordering. That is one of the many great memories of my childhood. Id be willing to guess the cost of a package today would be upwards of $10; I'd pay $15 for a pack! I concur with every favorable sentiment expressed about these cookies and if someone from Nabisco were to read all of these comments and if a lightbulb were to go on upstairs, they might see the dollar signs written on the wall. Why is it that when you find something that really works for you, it's discontinued. While no where as good as the origional Ideal Bars, they are worth it, for a stared population of Ideal cookie fanatics !! Still to this day every time I am in the grocery store cookie isle I look for Ideal Bars. I think of these cookies often. The Best cookie EVER! Well being a creative kid I scrounged all the coke bottles and pennies in the house that I could find and returned them with a wagon and got more cookies. PLEASE! How sad. I did, now if all of you do, maybe they will. One of them worked in the bakery division. We all should go to the keebler web site and leave our coments there
also. Thanks, Mark. ITS NOT NOT FAIR!! Well I'm glad I'm not crazy!!! These Cookies RoCkEd! So what? These cookies popped into my head the other night, it's unfortunate that they are not made anymore. Whenever I find myself in the cookie aisle of the supermarket - I look for them - still to this day - hoping they have come back. please nabisco,start making ideal cookies again, Hello good folks, have had a time with my momery, and can you believe after (3) years the name of this cookie finally came to me, it was the "IDEAL", these cookies were made in the 60's also, and looking on the shelves, and going to hundreds of grocery stores I could never find them. Every Sunday my stepdad would bring them home from the Fort Mac Commissary and I'd try and eat the whole box that day. Apparently they were well loved and a very popular cookie. I think it must be at least 25 years since they were available. I too remember these as a kid - we kept them in the fridgeI was thinking about them today which brought me to this page. Please, please consider bringing them back!! I hope someone takes the challenge on! They were so good. Also check out the other =Food of the 70s?> pages.
