My fav breakfast square was the cinn. they also had butterscotch. I have been looking for a recipe from carnation for 30 yrs... they were great.

I LOVED the cinnamon ones! I wish we could all petition Carnation to make them again!

They were the best!!! I still have cravings for them. Why can't they make them again? I would sign the petition.

Me, too! Been craving the chocolate breakfast squares for decades!! I loved that they weren't overly sweet and they had an odd sawdusty kind of texture, but holy cow I want them and I NEED them. Nothing else comes close to what a fabulous treat they were :( grumble grumble

I'm just so glad someone besides me remembers these! I've asked people all over the country if they've even HEARD of them, to no avail. Babette, too right, not very sweet, kind of dry and super-dense, but oh those Squares...

Oh my Gosh!!! I had these every morning on the school bus. The chocolate ones. A delicious dry type of brownie. I e-mailed the company, and got some stupid response about the bars. I wish these would come back! Yum, it makes me drool.

My kingdom for a Breakfast Square!

Every DAY I had those. I would sign a petition, too. The best thing every created ... I still crave the taste of them every now and then. I married a guy 10 yrs younger than me ... poor thing never had one. I feel bad for him.

I am so relieved. Thought I was the only one in the world that remembered. Wish they were around for my high school age kid - who never eats breakfast. They were SOOOOOO yummy! Sawdusty and sweet! YES!!!

I too remember them! Soya based?? Very tasty!! I am trying to figure out how to make them!

I used to eat one every morning before my mom sent us out the door to school. I have been craving one for over 25 years now! Does anyone have a recipe?

Alright - I made a petition so all please follow the link and sign. You will have to copy & paste: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/breakfastsquares?e

those were the best breakfast bars ever! My favorite was the cinnamon ones Please bring them back

I loved the Chocolate ones. They were kind of dry but tasty. If they would bring them back for old time sake for a bit they would sell right out. So long as they used the original recipe, otherwise we will know.

Oh, those yummy breakfast squares, what memories. Saturday mornings in front of the tv, watching cartoons, having a package of breakfast squares (chocolate) and a big glass of milk. As I recall, they came 2 to a package. There were also 2 kinds of chocolate ones, one had a white cream in the center, the other had a fudge cream. Anybody else remember this?

OMG these are so good sometimes i can still taste them. they bring back goot memories...

I crave Breakfast Squares all the time! I only remember chocolate and vanilla but they were fab-u-lous! Are you listening, Carnation?!!

I am so glad I found this site! No one else has ever heard of these. I loved them. They were a treat in our family. We only had them when we went on vacation. Only had the chocolate variety and yes, you describe them exactly the way I remember them-a dense brownie, YUM! Please bring them back!

The store in my hometown never carried them. When I go to go to Grandma's with my Mom, we would always stop at the store near her house and do our shopping. if I was good, we would get some. The pinnacle was getting to split a pack on the way home. I was the oldest and my Mom used to take me to the DR for my allergies and leave my brothers with Dad. That was a memory I had been thinking about for a long time. I just had a Little Debbie Zebra cake and it reminded me of breakfast Squares. Man, I wish they would bring those back.

bring them---------bring them back--------- bring them back-------bring them back

I used to sneak into my dad's closet and take at least one, oh they were sooooo good! I have been wanting to write to the company too, so glad i found this site. Please consider bringing them back Carnation. They were unforgetable!!

Those breakfast squares were the BEST. I ate them everyday before school. I would love for Carnation to bring those yummy squares back. I would buy them all up from my local store. The chocolate ones were my personal favorite but my mother always bought chocolate and vanilla.

I loved them too! I wish they brought them back.

I only remember the chocolate brownie bottom and I believe a chocolate type frosting but they were the best! I don't remember any type of filling. They came in twin packs in a box of 8 or 10. I rarely ever ate breakfast after they quit making these. I would buy these for myself and my children if they brought them back!

My vice was the spiced bars with milk! I would save up my allowance and buy my own, since mom wouldn't buy them. I sent an e-mail to the company suggesting that sales might not have been through the roof in the 70's...but with the ability to target via the internet, and the fact that we're probably all 40+ and doing ok financially...we could afford to pay a premium...but all they did was put me on a mailing list....

I still crave those dense cakes with the butterscotch-like icing. On the mornings that I didn't drink Carnation Instant Breakfast before school, I would eat a Carnation Breakfast Square and drink a big glass of cold milk. Oh, Carnation [or Nestle'], please bring them back...or give us the recipe!!!

Since my previous post, I found out that neither Carnation nor Nestle' were the manufacter of the Breakfast Squares. You can see a photo of the box at the flickr website. (Unfortunately, I can't post a link here.) But, you can search with the terms "1970's General Mills Breakfast Squares". Ahh, the image brings back delicious memories!

In deed, the BEST 'breakfast' food of all time! No one I know remembers these tasty treats but I loved them. Please, Carnation, bring them back...they'd be a hit again!

Wow, I am so happy other people remember these. My friends think I am nuts. The cinnamon was my favorite with a glass of milk. Would sell my soul for one right now. Bring these babies back!!!!

Absolutely LOVED the chocolate ones! Ate one everyday for breakfast as a kid. Would love it if they came back!!

Wow! Both my mom and I miss Breakfast Squares! I signed the petition too. Here's my petition comment: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/breakfastsquares/?e "Growing up in the 70's-80's, I never knew a time when these weren't in our cupboards. I always bugged my mom to let me have some but she was so frugal with those things. We were both completely in denial when she found out they had been discontinued! Maybe if she and other moms who weren't so stingy with their kids' treats had just given in to our demands, these tasty, cakey, squares of joy would still be available. Oh mom--why did you have to be so stingy????? Please, General Mills, bring them back!"
