These nutty bars were even a favorite of our 43rd President. Mr Bush and dick cheney would probably indulge in a late night snack of them in the Situation Room while discussing bombing plans for Iraq.

Jenetta: I think you need to do some research on the definition of “research”. I’m so sorry you’re going to fail at school.

i have to do research on nutty bars and other sweets for school, but you people are useless. i need the year they were first made and other names for them and stuff like that. make a website with useful information.

Don’t know if this will be read or not, given how long ago the post started. But I HAD to add my 2 cents worth about Little Debs. I haven’t had them in a long time ONLY because I have a hard time stopping once I stop eating them!

My fave way to eat them is to (deftly) loosen and bite off the top layer, then munch till it’s gone. Each layer follows in kind until I’ve devoured the entire delicacy. There’s just NO better way to eat them.

Oh yes, the trick in managing the chocolate, peanut buttery mess on ones fingers it to eat as many in succession as possible. More eating and less licking!

At first I was surprised you didn’t know about these snacks, then once I saw your conversion to British pence, I understood.
In the USA, it seems everyone knows about this brand and it’s untrue that it’s themed mainly towards children. I mean they certainly market it to some extent children, but it’s a huge step above fruit-by-the-foot, or any of the snacks you might find with little boys and girls on the box.
A lot of these snacks do have a “light” taste.
Not filling, no. Americans tend to eat with the intention of filling themselves, so these snacks have helped pave the waists of many children and adults. Simply because they are delicious and impossible to get enough of.

In 1932, when I was 6 years old, I was living in Nashville, Tennessee, and with my mother would often visit my aunt and cousins across town. The two boys and I would walk to the little store down the street and get oatmeal creme pies. I enjoyed them for many years in various cities in the South. In 1942, I moved to California and would buy an oatmeal treat but none ever tasted like the ones from my youth.
Finally, in 1988 or 1989, I went into a new convenience store in
Thousand Oaks, Califoria, and there was a new-to-the-area oatmeal
creme pie called LITTLE DEBBIES and, boy, did the taste ring a bell even after more than 40 years. I saw on the box that they
were made in Tennessee. Did the recipe get passed down to the present company or is it just similar? Love the Nutty Bar, too!!!

Swiss cake rolls are my favorite and I’ve been eating them for well over 35 years. Little Debbie does not use animal fat which ensures no weird aftertaste like hostess products.

Slightly chilled is the only way to eat Nutty Bars and Swiss Cake Rolls. The original Nutty bars (with the extra layer of cookie and packed in double packs) are definitely worth it.

I’m planning to go on a tour of the factory in early July.

Little Debbie is, as you related in the article, an institution in America. I just tried these singles and I should inform you that you are really missing out on the real original Nutty Bar. The original is a 4 layer wafer while this ’single’ is only 3 layers (they cut out 1 layer to get the bar to 100 calories). You wouldn’t think it would impact it that much, but I think the impact is substantial. Also, the original bar has a slightly thicker dose of chocolate (don’t worry, it still melts onto your fingers; getting it off is half the fun). The Swiss Cake roles are also the “Best in Class” (much better than the Hostess HoHo).
