Today's Question: Name a discontinued product that you wish you could still buy.

Sunsations - rolled candy like Sprees but not as hard, and with fruit flavor in the inside part of the candy like Wacky Wafers.

Wacky Wafers.
 
You can still get them from collectors, but I wish they still sold the original clackers as they were made in the late 60's/early 70's. I loved my clackers when I was a kid! Every set I've seen since then are made of cheap strings and cheap plastic. You could never give a kid a concussion or an eye injury with that! :biggrin2:
 
A lot of it's little stuff--Knorr had a Peppercorn sauce mix that I used a lot in cooking--it made great burgers, for instance. Stuff like that. They used to have 3-4 different mint Jelly Belly flavors, but now they just have peppermint stick, and you can only find that at Christmas.
 
Another item along those lines - DDT, or as my daddy and granddaddy called it, "cotton poison." I remember disticntly a spring turned into summer, daddy would sprinkle cotton poison around the house and we would never worry about flies.
 
Personal food favorite was Keebler's Magic Middles and/or Mini Middles.
Best store bought cookie I can recall. If anyone knows how to bake a shortbread cookie with fudge inside, let me know.

Reebok Pumps would be #2.
 
GD, find a good shortbread cookie recipe you like. Either make or buy the fudge of your choice. Cut said fudge in small blocks and wrap cookie dough around it, covering it completely, then bake. This should work. I make cookies like this, but I wrap sugar cookie dough around mini-Milky Ways. They are wonderful!!!

Baked fudge just doesn't taste the same. That's the problem I've always had. I've only found two options: (A) Putting fudge inside then baking, which produces fine cookies but horrible insides, and (B) baking cookies THEN putting fudge in, but you can't have the fudge enclosed in the cookie in that case.
Seriously, I feel like Keebler had solved some culinary paradox.

Staci, a few months ago my wife made something similar, except it was with miniature Reese's peanut butter cups. Now, neither one of us has a sweet tooth, but those were mighty fine cookies.

It's all the darn preservatives! They make the impossible possible. :biggrin2: You may just have to make my Milky Way cookies and call it a wash.

It's amazing what kind of food you make when you are not limited to foods that the body was made to digest. Chemicals make foods better... Right?
I can't have the Milky Way cookies. Sounds like they are too high in fat. ;)
