Top 10 Discontinued Snacks That are BACK! (Part 2)

How we all love sweets. While candy companies are constantly coming up with new ideas and new flavors, much to our delight, they sometimes take a step

back

and discontinue our favorite candy. While this is a tragedy, there is a ray of hope. Here are 10 Discontinued Candies That Are Back, Part 2. Thin Mints In these tough financial times we find ourselves in, even candy companies can struggle. That's what happened to candy giants NECCO. In 2018, the production company known as New England Confectionery Company, NECCO for short, closed its doors and closed its doors permanently. Many candy fans cried in despair while NECCO produced so many fantastic candies.

What would happen to them now? Fortunately for Thin Mints, and also Mighty Malts, the cancellation and short time in limbo ended when they returned. Thanks to the Log House Foods company in Plymouth, Minnesota, these popular candies were saved when Log House Foods purchased them from NECCO and began manufacturing them almost instantly. Production may have been slow and the wait time long, but Thin Mints and Mighty Malts are now being released once again. Look for these favorites at your nearest candy store. Clark Bar This chocolate delight has been delighting candy lovers for about a hundred years. The bars, which consist of a crunchy peanut butter and a spun caramel core, are then coated in glorious milk chocolate.

These bars originally had a caramel center and are considered the first combo chocolate bar. When these chocolate bars were released, they were such a success that the Clark bar was sent to troops during World War I and again in World War II. The candy proved to be a huge hit with soldiers on the front lines, to the point that during World War II the factory that made Clark Bars closed and the government stepped in to help, as they considered Clark Bar essential to the effort in times of war. Due to our love for these chocolate bars, it was with great disappointment and sadness that we saw them removed from the shelves.

But fear not, thanks to Boyer Candy Company in Western Pennsylvania, Clark bars are

back

on shelves and in our lives. In fact, they first returned in cup form when Boyer launched their new Clark Cups, which are peanut butter chocolate cups with a Clark crunch, which was a great addition. Mary Jane They were first sold as "penny candy" in the early 20th century, but Mary Jane candy remained unchanged for nearly a century. The recipe is an old-fashioned peanut butter and molasses flavored taffy, and neither the recipe nor the packaging ever changed. The folded piece of yellow wax paper with a red stripe down the center became a symbol of the brand and a great-tasting candy in general.

So if Mary Jane candy hadn't changed anything about itself in almost a century, it must have been popular, right? So why was it

discontinued

? All valid questions you may be asking. Unfortunately, Mary Jane candy was another victim of NECCO's bankruptcy. Fortunately, the Spangler Candy Company stepped in and saved Mary Jane from the brink of obscurity and brought her back into the spotlight. Production is now underway and Mary Jane will be with us once again. Regal Crown There is nothing greater than discovering a great tasting candy. That makes it even more disappointing when a candy company decides to pull their candy from the shelves and from our lives.

It would be nice to know that there is a company that supports us. Iconic Candy is a company that has one goal; to take back all the sweets we once loved and make the world happy once again. It may be a tall order, but Iconic Candy is working hard to make that dream a reality. This family business has a true passion for all things sweet and a desire to fill the world with sweets. The company actually started because CEO Kenny Wiesen wanted to eat his childhood candy but he couldn't find it anymore. With the idea of ​​resurrecting candy from the dead, Wiesen got to work and quickly discovered that it was possible to do so.

Navigating complicated licensing laws, Iconic Candy had its first chance and managed to get its hands on Regal Crown candy. These hard candies were big business until the 1970s, when they began to lose popularity and production eventually stopped. Years later and Wiesen managed to get his hands on them, and Iconic Candy was underway with its first resurrection. Iconic Candy has brought back the sour version of these candies with Sour Cherry and Sour Lemon recently released and Sour Apple and Sour Grape coming soon. Now a new generation can try these once popular sweets. Twix - Cookies & Cream Every now and then a candy combination comes along that makes us say "Yes!" and “How come they’ve never thought about that before?” One of those chocolate bars was the much-loved Twix Cookies and Cream.

While we all know what a Twix bar is, the Cookies and Cream version takes the much-loved Twix bar to the next level. Instead of a caramel center, you get a rich layer of cookie frosting on top of a crispy cookie, all enrobed in milk chocolate. For anyone too young to remember this chocolate bar, Twix Cookies and Cream was launched in the 1990s and became a big hit with everyone. Then they suddenly disappeared, no one seems to know why. While many of us have been mourning the loss of this chocolate bar for decades, the sadness has now ended with the return of Twix Cookies and Cream.

Mars Corporation, the company that owns Twix, has relaunched this old favorite to the world. While the actual national release day is scheduled for January 2020, some stores released it early and some lucky people already have it in their hands. Candy Buttons We've already mentioned New England Confectionery Company, or NECCO, as

part

of our list of

discontinued

candies that have made a comeback. And we mention them again because another beloved candy that NECCO produced has found its way back. When NECCO went bankrupt and all of their candy was auctioned off, it was the Cincinnati-based Doscher's Candy company that saved Candy Buttons.

These small, rounded candies have been a staple of many children's candy cravings since the late 1970s. The long strips of candy-covered paper came in three flavors; Cherry, Lime and Lemon and they had matching colors. Over the years, Candy Buttons have gone through some management changes and were eventually pulled from shelves and discontinued. The candy shelves didn't look the same after that! Having Candy Buttons in the hands of Doscher's Candy is fitting as not only is it the longest continuously operating candy company in the US, but it is also the largest manufacturer of candy canes. We think this is a match made in candy heaven.

Reed's Founded in Chicago back in the late 19th century, Reed's candy was a must-have gift for many people for many years. Made with pure cane sugar, butter and flavorings to make their unique hard candies, the Reed's Candy company quickly became the largest producer and manufacturer of hard candy in the United States. While the classic caramel flavor was their first big hit, Reed's soon developed a variety of new flavors. The company would go on to release nearly 10 different flavors, many of which were hits. Originally, hard candies in a roll package were individually wrapped so they wouldn't all stick together in a hard dough.

Which was smart. Over the years, Reed's Candy Company changed hands several times and these sweets struggled to find their place in the modern world. As we move into the 21st century, Reed's sweets are gone once and for all. However, luck was present when new candy makers Iconic Candy decided to resurrect these candies. Having acquired the licensing rights, Iconic Candy now sells Reed's candy in 4 different flavors. The ever-popular Original Caramel flavor, as well as Cinnamon, Root Beer, and Peppermint flavors, are now available! Loves, Valentine's Day is a magical day for many people around the world. It's a day to shower that special person with love and affection, or to finally tell that person in your life exactly what they mean to you.

While there are many ways and things you can show someone how you feel, nothing goes together better than Valentine's Day and candy. For many years we have enjoyed Sweethearts candies on that special day. Small hard candies that show messages of affection and friendship. Whether you use Sweethearts as a little fun or to show someone your true feelings, these little sweets have been giving Valentine's Day that extra cute factor for decades. How sad we all were when the Loves disappeared from the candy shelves and from our hearts. While there were other candies that attempted to fill Sweethearts' void, such as M&Ms Cupid Messages and Jelly Belly's Conversation Beans, nothing could replace Sweethearts.

Due once again to the bankruptcy of NECCO, the fate of Sweethearts seemed to be sealed as we said goodbye to these beloved sweets. However, love is in the air again as Spangler Candy Company saved Sweethearts and will once again shower our Valentine's Day with love and sweetness. Sky Bar What's better than having a chocolate bar? How about having four chocolate bars at the same time, each with a different filling? That's what you get from the Sky Bar. Introduced shortly after World War II, the Sky Bar became the first molded chocolate bar that had different flavors for each of its sections.

The flavor options were; Caramel, peanuts, fudge and vanilla, all wrapped in milk chocolate. While the Sky Bar has been off our shelves for a while, it's back better than ever. Purchased at auction by gourmet hardware and cooking store Duck Soup, Sky Bars are back in production and returning to our lives once again. While Duck Soup isn't known for selling or even making candy, they love all things sweet and have assured fans that the Sky Bar will be just as good as before. At the moment, the new Sky Bar can only be purchased at the Duck Soup store, located in Sudbury, Massachusetts, or on their website, but this chocolate bar should make a triumphant return to stores very soon.

BarNone We all remember this classic chocolate bar, right? In the 1980s, Hershey Chocolate Company were looking to introduce a new bar to their range, something they hadn't done in decades, and came up with BarNone. After spending millions of dollars testing and developing the new chocolate bar, Hershey finally released it to the world. BarNone advertised itself as the "bar for chocolate lovers." BarNone, which contains cocoa wafer, chocolate spread, peanuts and a milk chocolate coating, was an immediate hit. People all over the country went crazy over this new chocolate bar, however, for some unknown reason, Hersey decided to change the BarNone by adding caramel.

Needless to say, most people were not happy and by the late 1990s, BarNone had been discontinued for good. Or so we thought. For years, fans asked Hershey Chocolate Company to bring back this chocolate bar, and for years Hershey ignored everyone. When the Facebook era began, fans had not forgotten about this chocolate bar and soon the requests and pleas for its return began. Hershey may have ignored us all, but one company listened. Iconic candy. Yes, the company that loves bringing back candy has done it again with BarNone. Fans can rejoice and relive this classic chocolate bar thanks to Iconic Candy.
