Bar none was good but I was more of a Snickers guy. It felt like it was trying a little too hard with all the layers. Still better than half the crap they sell now though.

Snickers are ok. My favorite chocolate bar 🍫 will always be hersheys.
 
I like Snickers too but I am with you on Hershey’s. There is something so classic about a plain Hershey bar. It is simple but always hits the spot. I used to keep one in my purse just in case I needed a little pick me up. Still do sometimes.

Who remembers the Keebler's Magic Middles? These were the ultimate surprise cookie. They looked like regular shortbread on the outside but had a soft gooey chocolate or peanut butter center hidden inside. Total lunchbox legend. I used to eat around the edges just to save the middle for last.

They disappeared sometime in the 90s and never made a full comeback. Anyone else remember them?

Remember Nabisco’s Giggles Cookies?

They were sandwich cookies with little smiling faces on them and a creamy chocolate or vanilla filling. They looked like something from a Saturday morning cartoon and had this sweet crunchy vibe that made them way more fun than regular cookies.

Every cookie had a goofy grin cut out so the filling peeked through like it was actually smiling at you. They were supposedly everywhere for a while during the 80s and then just vanished.

Do any of you remember these? Did you prefer the chocolate or vanilla version. Would you grab a pack if they made a comeback.
 
I have a vague memory of them but I don’t think we ever had them in the house. We were more of an Oreos and Chips Ahoy family. Those commercials were everywhere for a while.
 
It looks like I’m the only one that don’t remember them.
 
Oh my goodness, talk about a trip to the grocery store of my memories. BarNone was pretty good from what I recall. I forgot all about those. Chocolate on chocolate with that little crunch in the middle. Heaven. The Reggie Bar made me laugh because I remember buying it once just because I liked the name. I do not think I even liked it that much, but it was fun seeing his face on the wrapper. That was back when candy had personality. PB Max was my husband's favorite for a while. I did not like how messy it got, but he used to sneak one into the glove compartment and think I wouldn’t notice. Keebler's Magic Middles were pure magic. I remember packing them in my daughter's lunchbox and always sneaking one for myself. That melty chocolate center was so good. Giggles cookies I don't know about. Thanks for bringing all of these back to mind. I wish we could do one big 80s snack swap.

That’s some memory you’ve got there. At our age doing a snack swap may be unhealthy 😂.
