Description
Made by the Sunshine Baking Company (they still produce a saltine cracker, vanilla wafer cookies, Hydrox & numerous other items). These were oblong wafer crisp like with a light ribbon of caramel throughout. It also included coconut & chocolate . The closest thing you can get nowadays is the Samoa Cookies from Girl Scout Cookies.

I WISH they were still available. I have fond memories of camping in Tuolomne Meadows, Yosemite and we always had these cookies. They were my favorite. I contacted Keebler a few years ago and they said they had no plans to make the product, it didn't fit they're target market or something. Perhaps if we all contact Keebler, they'll realize there is a market out here for Yum Yums and either start making them or sell the rights to someone that will!

I loved these cookies! My grandmother used to bring them from California after she visited family there. (We live in Mississippi) I always looked forward to this special treat. When I first tasted Samoas, I thought they were similar, but just not the same....Yum Yums were better!

What a surprise to see how many of us feel the same way about these cookies. I, too, fulfill my childhood memories of these cookies by buying several boxes of Samoas each year. The popularity of the Samoas should give Keebler a clue that there is a NEED for Yum-Yums year round! Heck, Keebler makes a Thin Mint-like cookie now.

I contacted Sunshine Baking Company and told them that Yum Yums and Lemon Coolers were the best cookies ever made, and that they are losing out on huge profits by no longer producing them. They said they appreciated my comment, however, the company is seeking a different target market. Too bad...It's definitely OUR loss! I love me some Yum Yums and Lemon Coolers!!

The sad thing is Sunshine was bought out by Keebler in August 2008....so I do not think there will be a Yum Yums revival. They were also one of my faves growing up. A more recent favorite of mine was Sunshines Lemon Coolers which have also been discontinued when Keebler bought Sunshine out. Cheez-it still carries the Sunshine name.

Oh Man!!! I loved these cookies as a kid! My mom and I would eat the #$@!! out of these. We would open a box of these and watch the Saturday night double feature with Bob Wilkins and root for the monsters! I loved these things and I tell everyone about them. A far second runner up is the Girl Scout Samoa, but again a F-A-R second. If they brought these back I would gain about 40 lbs in one year.

I have been dreaming of Yum Yums for years and was heartbroken to find out they quit making them.Last time I had them was in 1983 when I was in college in Nacogdoches, Texas. I must have bought 5 packages when I found them. That was the last time I had a yum yum. If I had only known.........Lemon coolers are my next fav cookie and they are gone as well.

Shelly, I was just writing someone and told her Yum-Yums came first, then LEMON COOLERS - but couldn't remember the name. Thanks! You know, Vermont Country store is doing a lot of revival of "old" recipes in response to customer requests. Perhaps if we flooded them....

My mom used to buy me these as a special treat because they were so expensive for us to afford I didn't get them as often as I wanted. I have been searching for them for years and I too have tried the Girl Scout cookie but it is no where near the same... Cracker Barrel in the Southern states also sells "old time" treats not found anywhere else...Maybe they could make them if Vermont Country Store won't... I think it would be worth a try to get at least one of them to make these cookies again. There is a market for them. I would order them from anywhere in the country and pay an outrageous price for them because I miss them so much!!

Its February and good ole samoa girl scout are back. The first bite and I instantly go back to my childhood and the best cookie ever! Yum Yum. My Mom would buy a box for my Dad on Saturday and he would hide them from us kids in the bottom of the refrigerator(he thought). He would ration them out to us which made them even more special.

Yum Yum's were my favorite growing up and my grandma would be sure to have a box on hand. Whenever I helped her with household chores, she'd give me a couple. I got to the point I'd do LOTS of choirs for LOTS of cookies! She didn't drive, so I would take the 4 mile round-trip walk to go to the store for those as well as other groceries.

It's funny how all of us remember how our moms liked them too. My mom is 83 and has been complaining for years about how the things she likes always get discontinued. The Yum Yums are her prime example. The main difference from the Girl Scout Samoas was the chewy waffle cookie inside instead of a crumbly sugar cookie. Yum Yum!

Keebler Coconut Dreams are just like Samoas. Could be because Keebler produces Girl Scout cookies. Yes these are awesome cookies, BUT does not come close to the deliciousness of Yum Yums!

Getting ready to make yumyums for the first time. I have waffle wafer sheets from an international food store, carom, chocolate and coconut. My mom, brother and I used to ration them and ate only one a day. They were a bit expensive for the time, but oh, so good. Sanoas are the nearest I have eaten, but are too sweet and somewhat grainy. Wish me luck!

I loved Yum Yums when I was a kid! My paternal grandparents kept boxes of them in their chest freezer in the basement and brought them out when we would come to visit. I found out as an adult that I was the only grandchild that received this privilege...probably because we lived the furthest away and didn't get to visit as often as the other 50 grandchildren. I was their favorite:) I found them 20 years ago by accident and have never again been able to locate them. Keebler has a similar product called Coconut Dreams that is relatively new so I'm going to try those out this weekend. If they ARE like Yum Yums, I am throwing a whole bunch in MY freezer! Ah, the good old days...............

Just ONE MORE of the faithful Yum Yum fans here!!! I've continued for YEARS to rant about them. I've decided to try to figure out how to make them myself, but so far I haven't nailed it. Needless to say, none of the failed attempts have gone to waste!!! (waist, yes; waste, NO WAY) Considering how great they were, and how many of us maintain this current, it strikes me as really STRANGE that Keebler doesn't see fit to TRY a rerun. It can't be that they're compelled by conscience to worry about OUR HEALTH or anything! Well, remember "the squeaky wheel...."

Yum Yums were a favorite treat at our house in the 60's and 70's. When Nabisco stopped making them, my brother went on a mission to find out what the deal was. He scouted out the delivery guy at the local grocery store to inquire. He was told they were just too expensive to make, so were discontinued. He then wrote to the company to ask them to reconsider. Hey Deys and Samoa's have some similarities - but, don't come close to the fine taste of a Yum Yum.

As kids I remember making the switch from our car to grand maw and grand paw's 66 Chevy Impala. We were in Jacksboro, TX at the Green Frog Restaurant. This was the half-way drop-off point between Ft. Worth and Seymour. It was summer time. School was over and we were on the move. Kids looking for a change and a lot of new adventures. It was grand maws tradition to pull out the Yum Yums about 30 minutes into the drive West. To us it seemed a whole lot longer but the treat about to be shared would distract us all the way into their home town. Kibbler needs to realize that these cookies are much more than a simple snack. This iconic cookie satisfied a generation of kids who are now wanting to pass a family tradition on to their own kids. I too contacted the company and got the same -not in our target market- speech. That's unsatisfactory. At least consider letting The Vermont Country Store carry these delights as they do so many other classics. Call VCS and ask them to pursue the issue. Maybe than can bring the Yum Yum back to us.

I discovered Yum Yums in 1975 at a grocery store in Roseburg, Oregon near where I'd just purchased my first house. After a couple of weeks, I realized how addictive they were and forced myself to quit buying them while I was still able to fit through the front door. A miserable, yearning year or two later I decided to take some to a pot luck so I could indulge in a few of them without devouring the whole box in two evenings. Imagine my dismay when I couldn't find any. I've been looking for them ever since with no luck. I still find it hard to believe that they don't make them any more. It was the same as if they'd quit making Snickers, a tragedy. How do we mount a campaign to restore them to the grocery shelves?

Nothing they make will every be as amazing as Yum Yums NOTHING!!! I repeat NOTHING!!! My Sister and I would run to Red Owl in south Minneapolis in the late 70’s with our allowance and buy a box of Yum Yums each, we ate them throughout the week. I Dream of these amazing cookies all the time. This cookie really was the best cookie ever made. I also reached out to Sunshine & also got the same... we have no plans to relaunch Yum Yums! That’s a bummer because all the money girls scouts are making on Samoa’s! Yum Yums would make a massive profit relaunching Yum Yums!

I remember them as being a bit chewy with the emphasis on the coconut and caramel. The copy cats Coconut Dreams and Samoas have the emphasis on the cookie which is hard and crunchy.
