Description
these awesome and tasty breakfast treats came twin wrapped in a foil/paper pouch and boxed in 4 packages (containing 2 squares each) by general mills, i believe. description: 2 1/2 inches x 2 1/2 inches in size, about an 3/4 of an inch thick and came in 3 flavors...vanilla, spicey or cinnamon and chocolate. these bars were dry, layered cake-like, but hard and somewhat "crumby" and were frosted accordingly with the flavor of the square...my favorite was chocolate...then they came out with the variety box featuring all flavors. I never see them and haven't for years. it's my best guess that they were introduced in the mid to late 70's and vanished in the early to mid 80's.

I too would like to see these Breakfast Squares go back into production. I can't believe in this day and age of nutriction bars that they are not available. They were the FIRST such bar, weren't they? I can even remember what they taste like. Maybe a writing campaign needs to be mounted requesting General Mills to produce them once again.

I've written G.M. and they said they have no plans to bring them back. I still crave them. I ate them almost every morning. And although Chocolate was also my favorite the other 2 flavors were very good. Gosh they were great with a big glass of milk. One of my youngest memories is waking up in the middle of the night - at about age 3 - and moving the chair in the kitchen so I could climb onto the counter and get into the cabinet. I think production stopped somewhere around 1980. I have tried all the breakfast bars on the market and they are crap. I have no idea why they wouldn't bring these back since they were so darn good.

Also in the variety pack was Chocolate Malt. My sister and I devoured a box of them in 2 days.
