14 Candy Bars That Have Been Discontinued (And We Still Miss)

Some candy bars disappear without you even noticing, but others stick in your memory. You check the candy aisle every now and then, hoping they’ll come back—but they never do. Maybe it was your favorite as a kid, or maybe it just had that one flavor you can’t find anywhere else. Either way, these are the ones we still miss.

PB Max

PB Max was loaded with peanut butter, oats, and a layer of milk chocolate. It had a grainy, salty-sweet texture that hit all the right notes. It disappeared in the ‘90s, not because it wasn’t selling, but supposedly because Mars didn’t like marketing peanut butter. Still stings.

Marathon Bar

This was the one with the curly, twisty caramel inside a chocolate coating. It was long, fun to eat, and a total mess in the best way. It disappeared in the early ‘80s, but many people still bring it up when talking about the best old-school candy bars.

Bar None

Bar None was a crunchy, chocolatey mix of wafers and cocoa filling covered in a thick layer of chocolate. It was meant to be the ultimate chocolate bar. It came out in the late ‘80s and lasted a few years before being discontinued and quietly replaced.

Butterfinger BB’s

Technically not a bar, but they were a spinoff of the classic Butterfinger—and so much easier to eat. They came in a pouch and were less messy than the full-size version. Fans have been asking for a comeback ever since they were discontinued in the mid-2000s.

Reggie! Bar

Named after baseball legend Reggie Jackson, this one combined caramel, peanuts, and chocolate. It had a round, chunky shape and came wrapped in gold foil. It was around in the late ‘70s and briefly revived in the ‘90s, but didn’t stick around.

Summit Bar

Summit Bars were long, crispy, and super chocolatey. They had a flaky crunch from the wafers and were coated in peanuts and chocolate. It was the kind of candy that felt a little heavier but was worth every bite. Discontinued in the ‘80s.

Hershey’s S’mores Bar

This one had layers of graham, marshmallow, and chocolate all in one. It tasted like a campfire treat without needing a fire. It was available for a while in the early 2000s but didn’t last long. People still talk about how much they miss it.

Milkshake Bar

This bar promised a milkshake flavor in candy form. It had a soft, chewy nougat center covered in chocolate. It wasn’t overly sweet and had a creamy flavor that made it stand out. It faded away in the ‘80s, and fans have wanted it back ever since.

Twix Cookies & Cream (Original Version)

Twix brought this one back recently, but fans swear the original version from the ‘90s was better. It had a chocolate cookie base, creamy filling, and classic Twix chocolate coating. It disappeared too soon and didn’t get nearly enough time to shine.

PowerHouse Bar

This bar was packed with peanuts, caramel, fudge, and chocolate. It was heavy and rich, made by the makers of Milk Duds. It wasn’t flashy, but it was satisfying. It quietly left store shelves and has stayed gone, despite occasional nostalgia posts online.

Alpine White

Alpine White from Nestlé was a white chocolate bar filled with almonds. It had a smooth, creamy texture with a nice crunch. It felt a little fancy for a grocery store candy bar, which made it stand out. It disappeared in the early ‘90s, and people still ask about it.

Wonka Bar

Thanks to the movie, the Wonka Bar had a lot of hype, but it didn’t stick around. There were a few versions over the years, some with graham, others with caramel. None of them lasted long, but the name alone still makes people hope it’ll come back.

Rally Bar

This one was like a rougher version of a Snickers. It had peanuts, nougat, caramel, and chocolate but with a crunchier feel. It wasn’t the prettiest candy, but it had fans. It vanished from shelves but still gets brought up in candy nostalgia chats.

Mars Bar (U.S. Version)

The original U.S. version of the Mars Bar was different from what’s sold overseas. It had nougat and almonds covered in milk chocolate. It disappeared in the early 2000s, though some say the Snickers Almond is a close replacement. Still, it’s not quite the same.

Bring-Back-Worthy Bars

These candy bars may not show up in stores again, but they’re definitely not forgotten. Whether it was the flavor, the nostalgia, or the fact that there’s nothing quite like them now, they left a mark. And if any of them ever make a comeback, we’ll be first in line.
