Description
This was a product in existence definitely during the '80s & maybe(?) even during the '90s. It may have been around during the '70s or even as early as the '60s. It was a wafer bar with some kind of filling, like chocolate or vanilla in between the wafers & was covered in chocolate, vanilla or something else. I can't remember for sure what the other flavors were -- maybe strawberry or chocolate malt. They were so good & they probably worked along the same lines as the Slim-Fast Meal-on-the-Go Bars that are so popular today. I don't think the product still exists. If so, I'd love to find out where to get some since I'm a runner & energy bars are a big food staple of mine! Thanks!

These & Breakfast Squares RULED! I remember Double Chocolate Figurines were so yummy, like you wouldn't believe they were diet food. I remember the song in the commercial mentioned they had a 'calorie rate - 138 a bar'..Very weird how I remember that to this day.
That dang song (to the tune of "Tangerine") gets stuck in my head from time to time. "...with a calorie rate of 138 a bar - my shape belongs to Figurines!" I just found this site by googling the words to the song because I wanted to be sure I remembered correctly. Man, did we watch a LOT of TV in the 70s!
I remember eating figurines for lunch at Jr high school with a TAB (diet coke) every day!!!
I wish another company would start making Figurines again. They were so good. I would eat them instead of a candy bar. I also liked the Choclate mint and I think they made a carmel one later on.
I've been trying to remember the name of these--I could remember them being produced by Pillsbury. They really were better than any bar on the market now. I REALLY miss the vanilla ones.
I loved these! Lost weight on them in early 80s.I so wish we could buy them now.
I loved figurines! I lost 18 pounds with no loss of energy. I loved the strawberry. So convenient and they didn't taste like mud the way lots of so-called energy bars do now.
Pillsbury should bring these back! they are awesome even if they don't apply as a "diet" bar anymore I think tons of people would buy them. I have tasted many other bars and they don't taste nearly as good.
How do we get these back? Lost 20 pounds when eating these. Especially liked the strawberry.
Was sitting at my desk eating a kelloggs meal bar and thought "What was that bar I ate when I was younger, it was so good" loved the choc mint ones!! Remember they were called figurines, would love to see these come back.
these and carnation breakfast bars rule! with a whole generation of kids who remember loving these and some being parents ourselves now, trying to watch our weight they have a ready made market waiting to buy these - BRING THEM BACK!!!
They dont make diet bars like that anymore....these other diet bars suck in comparison!!!!!!!!1
I still think about the "Figurines" soo often. I was a youngster and my mother and grandmother always purchased them. I always chose those over candybars and cookies... I didn't like the Figurine 100's kind. The original Figurines were delicious! My favorites, vanilla, double choc., choc. mint! I wish Pillsbury would just bring them back as a dessert bar! Anyone want to flood Pillsbury with calls, emails, and a petition of request?
I can't believe somebody even remembers these.
The vanilla ones were great. I still remember the sort of dry, thick taste. I'm reminded of them when I have cake batter ice cream on occasion.
