Discontinued foods you miss

That sounds like a wonderful idea for a special treat.

I remember that we had a similar, less glamorous, candy bar called the Sky Bar, four different fillings in one chocolate bar.

I think you can find Skybars at Cracker Barrel.

Thanks Holly, I always have cravings, but too much trouble, just want to buy it off the shelf like I did for years. There are a lot of Lindt bars available by me, but not my favorite flavor. I also miss the All Butter Sara Lee frosted cakes that came in orange, chocolate, etc. Or this ice cream, used to like the vanilla swiss almond flavor. Also Cracker Meal, good fine alternative to bread crumbs.

I still find Cracker Meal in stores. Good for fried eggplant!

I haven't been able to think of anything except a vanilla smash at the drugstore soda fountain. Kind of like a vanilla coke but it was made with soda water (I think) instead of coke. It was deeelish after a rough day at school.

I remember Skybars. I loved 'em!

Pappy I still see the old striped boxes of Spaulding Krullers when I go to the Freihofer's outlet, I think Stroemann bought the rights to them but I'm not sure that the recipe is still the same. I think that both Stroemann and Freihofer's were gobbled up by BIMBO. BIMBO almost has a monopoly on the bread business.

Here is an old article on Spaulding from 1954, it's a little tough to read.

I remember those. But the Freihofer's my parents went to was in central NY.

It's incredibly easy to make. However, use only Vermont syrup. Canadian syrup may be called maple syrup if it's 80%. New York allows 90%. Only Vermont requires it to be 100%. You'll need a candy thermometer and maple sugar candy molds, but they're cheap.

Amazon has all sorts of candy molds as well. Just remember: ONLY Vermont.
