9. Buitoni Instant Pizzas and Nabisco Ideal Bars

Mon Jan 26, 2026, 02:09 PM

Jan 26

You cooked the little cheese and sauce pizzas in a toaster and they were incredibly tasty with a perfect pastry. Ideal bars were considered cookies, had a crumbly peanut butter core and were covered in dark chocolate. We kept them in the refrigerator because the chocolate melted so easily that they were not sold during hot weather months.

I miss them both dearly.
