You can still get those online.

I'm the person who he was responding to. I stated that I miss being able to get Lindt peanut butter truffles and I also stated that the reason I can't get them anymore is because they stopped making them.

My post in this thread was post number 85. - "I always loved Lindt peanut butter truffles. For some reason they discontinued them."

Disgustedman posted a link to Amazon about them. If you clicked on and looked at the Amazon link he posted you would have seen that Amazon says:

Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.


The reason they don't have them available is because they are no longer being made, as I stated in my post about them. So, no - he didn't find a place to buy them. There is no place where you can buy them, because they no longer make them.

There are other places you can find online where it looks as if they are sold - Kroger, Walmart and a few others besides Amazon. None of these places actually have them for sale. They no longer exist. Such a shame, but I know for a fact that they are impossible to obtain. I've tried!

And to Disgustedman - I do really appreciate that you tried to help me, but Amazon doesn't and won't have them, ever.

I loved these so much and just hate that I can no longer get them anywhere.

There was also a wonderful dandruff shampoo I used to use (not Head and Shoulders). One wash would eliminate dandruff for weeks. The shampoo made my head tingle. I can't remember the name of it, but it was banned many years ago. It contained salicylic acid. That's what loosened the dead skin on the scalp and washed it away.

Does anyone remember the name. Seems to me it started with a "D".

I loved Nabisco Bacon Thins and was SO sad when they disappeared. They were fabulous with cream cheese.

Sara Lee (I'm pretty sure) had a caramel nut roll that was rectangular in shape and after you baked it you turned it upside down onto the plate, but I don't recall it being called "upside down cake". I think it was sort of divided into squares that you could then cut through. I was thinking pecans (walnut?)--whatever, it was SO good. I've tried SL's pecan coffee cake but it doesn't come close to the caramel richness. Last I remember having those was probably 70s and *maybe* early 80s.

I can think of several go-to products which are still around but have been "improved" , are gone altogether, or the varieties I liked best have been discontinued.

The cinnamon disks are still around...

Not exactly the same as truffles, and since I don't care for peanut butter I can't specifically vouch for these. But in general, See's Candies are excellent and perhaps these would be a reasonable replacement.
