my mom use to pack them every morning. i loved them!! i still crave them. i think there might have been a vanilla, but i loved the chocolate. wish they would bring them back.

YES!!! I thought no one else remembered these!! Why won't they bring them back?? Would be perfect for breakfast in the mornings.

They were GREAT! My friend at work and I wish they would bring them back too!! We could eat them 'til we puked!!

I remember the orange flavored ones! Ooooooooohhhhh, they were soooooo good!! I just sent Carnation an email, asking them to bring them back. You guys do the same. Maybe if enough people request them, they'll bring them back as a special retro promotion or something! C'mon everyone, let's pull together for Carnation Breakfast Squares!!!

Yay for Carnation Breakfast Squares!! Every once in awhile I get nostalgic and do a google on these to see if by some crazy chance they are being brought back to us sad and wistful consumers...I'm glad to see I'm not alone in my pining. I remember chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon flavors with a slightly grainy texture - and that my cousin Chris was so mad at me for eating the last chocolate pack of two. Sigh.

OMGosh ~~ I was SOOO Hoping other folks would remem this AWESOMELY DEEEELICIOUS Breakfast/Snack ~~ i SOOOO wish that company would bring them back ~~ there are so few REALLY TASTY QUICK breakfast food selections these days. Thanks ya'll for remembering also!!!

I have been looking for the link for these!! I could't find it because I thought they were made by general mills. My mom used to buy the chocolate ones when I was a kid; they were my abosolute favorite. Simply fantastic!! I too wish carnation could bring back these delightful bars!

the cinnamon were the best i loved tho powdery texture dry and crumbly

Tonight I was eating Keebler's soft and chewy chips deluxe when I thought "This reminds me of breakfast squares." The first time since childhood I had thought of these delicious little treats that my aunt, not my mom, used to buy for breakfast. Bring them back!

I just e-mail the company, we should start a bring back Carnation Breakfast Squares drive.

my favorite were the chocolate ones.maybe we should start a petition !! i loved them, they were powdery yet creamy. they were a mysterious delicious texture. please Carnation bring back the Breakfast square ! :) let's all email Carnation & ask them to bring them back. i'm going to email them right now ! :)

I remember them, too. I ate them in the late 70s and early 80s. Chocolate was my favorite! I, too, wish they'd bring them back. I searched and found this page. :)

I thought that I was the only one to remember this product. What is up with Carnation for not bringing them back? There is nothing on the market today as good as they were then! Is there anything that I (we) can do to request their return?

I WANT MY BREAKFAST SQUARE - NOW

These were my favorite during the early 70's. 2 per package were the perfect amount. We would take them camping, so easy to pack and no mess. Carnation are you listening? Please bring them back! Chocolate was my favorite also.

Google CARNATION BREAKFAST BAR PETITION and let's get as many signatures as possible. It's currently at 932. Also, Google Carnation...click on the contact us link and send comments to the company as well.

I think the Breakfast Bar is also great, but it's definitely not the same as the Breakfast Square, which predates the Breakfast Bar. Is there a petition to bring back the Square? I love them both and hope if they do bring them back, they don't change the recipe (sometime in the late 80s I think they changed the taste of the breakfast bars and it was not for the better!)

My mom gave me breakfast squares (yes, two in a package..mmmmm) and breakfast bars in the morning. That is a taste I have been craving for a very long time. MAN! If I found them again, I think I'd scarf down a box of each flavor within a day!

Oh yes! I LOVED these things. I totally forgot about the brown sugar cinnamon-y flavored ones. Mmmm. But chocolate was definitely my favorite. My guess is there's something VERY un-nutritious in them to make them so delicious and that's why Carnation isn't making them today. Man, they were good!

OMG... I was search today for Breakfast Squares, I googled(hard to find grocer) hoping to satisfy that taste I continuously long for. I can't believe there are others. I wan these Squares so bad. I remember chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, I don't remember it being any other flavor. I remember eating them when my Mom gave it to me and my 3 sisters and when I use to sneak and eat them. OMG, I LOOOOVVVEEE THEM SOOOO MUUCCCHHHH.

shut up

I like to get gigity gigity

Remember, there were Carnation Breakfast Bars and then there were the Breakfast Squares. The Breakfast Bar could have fit right in with today's funky Carb bars as far as looks, but it had a chocolate coat, some type of oaty inside next a crunchy something or other and chocolate chips. The Breakfast Square required quite a bit of milk in order to make it through that 2nd square. Surprising that only the PopTart survived the 70s. Don't know why they quit on the Vanilla Chocolate P-Tart . . .

where is my comment?

carnation, carnation, how could you dare? stop making the scrumptious breakfast square! All I can do is think back in time, and it is quite torture to only taste them in my mind. Then when I do this I start to drool, I'm sure that at this point I look like a fool! If you would just listen to all of us who write - and bring back that recipe and make it just right, everyone would be buying them because they're so good. This is the truth, there would be no doubt, that if you brought these bars back you would have a big fat account! Oh how the money would come rolling in, but only if you would bring back those breakfast squares again

I remember the breakfast squares. I was already hard core into health food, and these tasted awful! I have come across protein bars now with that same bizarre mealy texture and taste. Not something I want to relive.

I thought these tasted okay. But really, how healthy do you actually think they were? You'd be better off just skipping breakfast.

My Grandma always had them when I came over and she knew when I got there they would be gone. I found an Atkins bar that reminds me of the flavor it's called Atkins Morning "Cinnamon Bun flavor." It's good but not as good as the original breakfast squares.

Me, too! Those chocolate ones were incredible :) Nothing today can compare. Today's crap is all toooo sweet and refined and pretty much bland and they all taste alike. GIVE ME THE ORIGINAL CARNATION BREAKFAST SQUARES! :D *Space Food Sticks were pretty kewl, too*

OMG! I loved the chocolate ones. But..anybody remember the carnation slender bars???? They were my absolute favorite! I crave both of these kick-ass treats weekly! They should bring them back forever!

A sure fire way to get rich quick would be to re-create/re-animate these '80's breakfast squares. (my be easier said than done) They would stay in constant demand. I would be my number one customer. Now, If only i knew an insider.

Awesome! I thought I was the only person who actually like these things! They had an almost sweet, salty, powdery quality to them.

YES! I just googled "breakfast squares" to see if there was anything about them on the web. They were around at least as early as the early 70's when I started eating them. My favorites were cinnamon and butterscotch.

Petitioning Carnation to make them would be rather ironic since Carnations' breakfast product was and is Instant Breakfast. The earlier poster who said they were General Mills is correct.

Man, those were the days! I look back on those with fondness and delight. Bring back the breakfast squares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember staying overnight at my Gram`s and the next morning getting either a Carnation Choc Bar or a Cinnamon Bar with a big, ice cold glass of Tang!! Yummmm... Anybody ever had that combo? I also just recently had a hankering for them, and found this site when I was searching for any store that still had them!

Carnation Breakfast Squares were TOTALLY DA BOMB!! Man, I am waxing nostalgic just thinking back to the mid-70's when this was my favorite breakfast and favorite snack. I LOVE that cakey, slightly grainy texture, and I have never found anything like it since...

I was attending CMSU in Warrensburg MO in 1973, and rented a $5 a week room in an elderly ladies upstairs. I'd go home some weekends and my mom would send a "care package" back to school with me. It would always include a box of cinnamon flavored Carnation Breakfast Squares. They tasted kinda weird, but I think I was addicted to them! I still remember the taste and texture.

I loved those squares!! my mom used to tell us they were her diet food ; so we could not eat them. my brother and i would devour them when she went out. Yummy!!

i lost 130 lbs eating slender bars or figurines for lunch. they (slender bars) had celluose in them, so they filled you up. i'd love to have them back.

Breakfast Squares were available in 4 flavors: chocolate, butter pecan (or was that butterscotch?), chocolate malt, and cinnamon. Not sure who made them. Commercial showed each one broken in half. But Carnation Breakfast Bars were different; it was chocolate coated, not unlike many of the protein bars of today. One commercial showed a school coach whose team "used to head for the candy machine" after a workout, but now took "a nutrition break."

i used to walk several blocks to the a&p grocery store just to buy them and take to school for a snack and yes they were goooood i wished they would bring them back i would try to buy a case of them.

yes breakfast bars were my favorite growing up as a kid in the early 80 carnation breakfast bars were great growing up in the 80's i think i lived on them. please carnation bring them back. thank you

love breakfast bars!!!! PLEASE bring them back. I will buy every box!!!!

Okay who made them General Mills or Carnation? I thought it was General Mills... They were the best. I only remember three flavors - chocolate (the best), cinnamon (or spice) and vanilla. All flavors were good but I would devour the chocolate. And they were so good with milk. I looked for them everytime I went to a grocery store for years - maybe until 95 then I finally gave up. They need to be brought back or we need to pool our money and buy the recipe and start up our own company.

Alright - I made a petition so all please follow the link and sign: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/breakfastsquares?e Wish us luck!

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/breakfastsquares?e

I agree with all of you. They were my favorite too especially the cinnimin and chocolate. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!

Bring back the breakfast squares !!!!

WOW-I have actually sent a letter to Carnation, and no one there knew what I was talking about. There were Vanilla, chocolate and cinnamon-not sure about the other flavors mentioned. These things were awesome sold in a box of 6 2-packs, whilte wrapper with a foil inside---friggen great. At least I know me and my brother aren't insane-we remembered eating them all the time Bring them back

I still have an original empty box from the 70's I guess I'll have to submit a scan of the box for everyone.

I loved the cinnamon!!! They rocked! Ron - PLEASE submit the scan. It would be so cool!

Recently I bought a box of Slim Fast optima bars (chewy granola chocolate chip) and had a flashback--these taste like the Carnation Instant breakfast bars I loved as a kid!! Not as good as orininal ones, but since they're not made any more, these are close enough.

i also grew up with these and loved chocolate and do remember vanilla...i wish they were back in the stores...i would buy them a lot!!! great for work/on the go...bring em back!!!

I want to see the scanned pic of the box! These were my favorite and even showed up in my stocking a few years at xmas. I always thought they took them off the market due to some health issue. I've love to know what really happened and I'd certainly buy them if they were back!

I loved these breakfast squares! I would buy them if they ever brought them back. I also often get a craving for them.

Breakfast Squares were the BEST! Could someone tell me what website to write to? I can't find the Carnation Website. Who should we all write to so these awesome treats make a comeback???

i grew up munching on these as well...i also wish i could buy them again...carnation instant breakfast in the powder is from nestle' maybe email them...these were good for on the go...tasted great!!!

the breakfast squares are the best. someone start a petition to bring them back!!!!

They were definitely from General Mills, in the 1970s. Here's proof. It says I can't put up a link but if you go to flickr and put /photos/29884868@N04/2999975591/ you can see the package.

what did they eat in the 80's you did not say any thing about that

YESSSSS, I'm not the only one who remembers!! When I was a kid, in the early 70's I would save my allowance to buy a box of 12 in the variety box, chocolate, butterscotch? (I think) cinnamon-spice and vanilla something... I would tell myself I'd only eat one a day, so they'd last, but they never lasted more than a few days, I LOVED THEM, I wish they'd come back!

I had these one time at a friend's home. I wanted my Mom to buy some, she refused. DAMMIT!!

Hey... www.flickr.com/photos/29884868@N04/2999975591/

I miss these too. They were my favorite breakfast growing up.

I absolutely LOVED these as a kid and get cravings for them every so often. I would love to have them again...cinnamon was my favorite!

I have been looking for the breakfast bars. They were great!!! Crunchy, chocolate, and chips inside...perfect recipe to address hunger throughout the day. Loved them. I wish carnation would produce them again!!!

Awww, I want one now! I was talking to my mom about them, and also Space Food Sticks, and a flavored peanut butter in chocolate, vanilla, etc.

Was doing a little more googling and found a site that said "buy breakfast squares at Target" and it was a picture of a little square breakfast table! GRRR~!!!

Add me to this WISH list!! They were GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

all i wish is that carnation bring them back i used to love them for breakfast
