Mallomars

Cakers3 — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 17:18:38 GMT

After three years or so (probably due to the pandemic) Mallomars have returned here!

@Jordan2 I think you had started a thread where I posted Mallomars have not been around here in a few years.

Well they are back and I bought 3 boxes😄

I put them in the freezer.

GS had taken me to the store and I spotted them while looking for batteries. They were not in the cookie aisle. Go figure.

Anyway I think shipping had been held up plus our weather has been 🥵.

I hope you are still enjoying yours.🙂

It's been years since I had them. My mother used to love them! I happened to be in Wegman's this morning and came across a display of them and I purchased a box in a moment of weakness.

I tried them and so far I just don't love them the way that I used to. I might give away the rest of my box. I really don't need them.

@Cakers3 Mallomars are so delicious! Its hard for me to find them sometimes in California, but I'm going to see if my local Safeway has them in stock. Whenever Mallomars are in stock in Safeway, they're never there for long- delicious cookies! I'm glad that you were able to stock up on Mallomars!

On September 11th, and, 13th, both Shop-Rite and Stop & Shop had them. I purchased 4 boxes. We love them at my house!

To just walk in the store to purchase when avaliable we only have the Nabisco Pinwheels to choose from. Have to order the Mallomars.

Those mallomars were my mothers favorite. My brothers and I were talking about that the other day. She would buy them in bulk that's how much she loved them. How I miss her.

As a kid I loved Mallomars But once I found out what gelatin is made from I can no longer eat them or anything with gelatin in it. I am not a vegetarian but I only eat poultry and fish and I think that pig byproducts are gross.

I love Mallomars. I have always had a sweet tooth. And Mallomars are super good.

@beckyb1012 there is nothing wrong with Pinwheels they are just as good as Mallomars. As for something not being as good as you remember, maybe they were better back in the day, the formula has changed to cut corners, or when your a kid you don't have very high standards!

I didn't grow up with them but have had them since moving to the Mid-Atlantic. And I wasn't crazy about them - which is surprising since I have a sweet-tooth to rival anyone's. Maybe I expected too much, since everyone here raves about them. But I thought the bottom cracker was too thick and the chocolate covering was too bitter.

I never had a Mallowmar. How are they different than pinwheels? Pinwheels was the first thing I thought of when someone described Mallowmars. They look similar. I do like Pinwheels occasionally but by the time the box is finished, I am done with then for a while.

King Arthur has a recipe to make them at home. They're called Mallow Bars.

They're easy to make and taste better than the commercial brand.

@turtle52 You make a good point but do you realize how many food products contain gelatin (collagen)?

Also medicinal capsules and cosmetics do not have to list it.

Choice. It's ok.

@QVCkitty1 Thank you so much for the Amazon mallomars tip! I looked all over Safeway's cookie isle yesterday and couldn't find them, but I just bought two boxes on Amazon today . I'm going to dunk them into hot cocoa while watching my favorite reality TV shows. Good times!

They had a big display at the store today but at $5.59 they can keep them & I don't need the extra sweets anyway!

@KathyM23 that's how I feel , I get a box and really love them and by the time I've finished I'm over it for awhile . Mallowmars don't have the chocolate bottom it's vanilla I guess I'd call it that's the real only difference . They do taste different,but can't pinpoint why . They are just good , I hope I can find them .

Aren't Mallomars coated in a darker chocolate and Pinwheels in more of a milk chocolate? Both are pricey. I occasionally buy Safeway's not bad generic version.
