YES! I loved Carnation Breakfast Bars! I miss them so much! These bars were originally a very densely packed bar with high protein and calories, but they actually were surprisingly not that sweet. They just had a really good sort of oat, malt, and milk chocolate taste. I loved both the Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter, I could never decide which I liked more! I believe they came eight to a box, and I remember the wrappers where a thick foil-and-plastic lined paper. They were actually sort of tough to rip open without scissors! I just knew at the time the demise was imminent after Carnation came out with the Instant Breakfast drink packets (Remember the jingle? "Carnation Instant Breakfaaaaast! You're gonna love it in an instant."). They later changed the Breakfast Bars so they were chewy... probably to compete with Kudos bars which came out in 1987 or so. Sadly there wasn't much difference between the Kudos and the chewy Breakfast Bars in terms of texture, but I still preferred the Breakfast Bars for taste. They also downsized them, The chewy Breakfast Bars weren't as wide as the traditional crumbly bars. I remember Kudos bars seemed TINY though they came ten to a box. The chewy Breakfast Bars lasted a few years then they sadly disappeared off the shelf. I'm sure the product was a casualty of the insane granola bar competition of the time. Kellogg's new Nutri-Grain bars were probably what really killed it.

Wow! I used to love these bars, I wish you could still get your hands on them. I loved the peanut butter and the chocolate chip!

Go online and type in carnation breakfast bars and you will see a website that has a petition. Please sign this petition to bring back the breakfast bars. Over 2000 signatures so far, we need more!!

I remember taking the Carnation Breakfast Bars (Chocolate Crunch) to the hospital with me when I went to have my baby (1976) and later, being so busy with a home, husband, & new baby, never seeming to find enough time to eat, I'd grab a Carnation Breakfast Bar or two and a glass of skim milk. Later, going to work and no time to eat, I'd grab a Carnation Breakfast Bar and a carton of milk and I'd be set till lunch-time. All these years later, I still haven't forgotten them and can't find another product as satisfying.

I use 2 brign theses 2 school as a child and ate them in homeroom that was my breakfast.

I loved these bars as a kid. Years ago it was the greatest to eating my breakfast in school or on the bus.

It's funny that other people remember these breakfast bars as well. I have looked over the years to see if they are still on the shelves but haven't seen them since the 80's. I loved them as teenager in the 70's then in the 80's when my children were young they liked them as well. I remember getting up in the middle of the night with sick children and eating them. Haven't found anything anywere near as good.

I loved these bars. The chocolate chip were the best!!! I thought they came 6 in a box and I could probably sit and eat all of them in one sitting. I wish they would bring them back.

This is why I came across this wonderful site, just to find out what the breakfast bar was called. This was my all time favorite breakfast food. I remember they were pricey so I didn't get them often.

I absolutely loved these breakfast bars and was devasted they were discontinued. I can close my eyes and remember how delicious they were. I would buy the entire stock at any store if they were to bring them back.

I've been craving the Peanut Butter Crunch for years!!! I check the breakfast bar aisle at the grocery store every few months to see if Carnation has come back to their senses and started making them again but nope, they are never there. I have quite a few friends that grew up on them as I did and would buy them again in a heartbeat if they were still available. My mom used to give me boxes of them at Christmas b/c I loved them so much. Carnation, PLEASE bring them back EXACTLY how they were. FYI...I just signed the online petition as mentioned above!

my mom used to ration my brother and I to one Breakfast Bar per day. gosh i still crave these scruptious after school treats. my siblings and neighbors used to scoop tang from a zip-lock bag and lick the powder off our fingers. mmm the tree house days.

I couldn't believe that so many othe people loved the Carnation Breaksfast Bars. The chocolate chip ones were my favorite. I still can not believe they are gone. There is not even any other bar like them out there anywhere. I really wish that Carnation would bring them back !

Carnation Breakfast Bars were the best snack ever made in the history of mankind. That the current owners (Nestle) are so pig-headed as to refuse to re-institute the original recipe is ... one of the greatest examples of marketing blunders known. It is used in many management classes as an example of company failure (perfect case study).

I loved these. I still have CRAVINGS for them and it drive me crazy. They were fantastic. I wish they would bring them back!!!!!!

I remember eating these as a kid. A few months ago, I roamed all over the grocery store trying to find them, only to realize later that they are no longer made. I went to www.carnationbreakfastessentials.com where they have a comment section for their breakfast drinks. My comment was "bring back the ORIGINAL breakfast bar".

Those were the best breakfast bars ever, especially the chocolate chip ones. I have not been able to find anything that even compares to them!! :( Wish they would bring them back!!
