did anyone actually buy this candy? M&M's chocolate wafer bars.?
In the 1950's, television commercials for M&M's would go on and on about how they melt in your mouth and not in your hand, unlike all those other candy bars. But at the very end of the commercial, the announcer would say "M&M's, plain or peanut" and then mention almost as an afterthought, "or try M&M's chocolate wafer bars."
I don't believe I ever even SAW that product except on TV. Did anyuone here ever have one? what was it like? I'm guessing it was something like today's Kit Kats, but that's just a guess.
I bet they melted in your hand.
this was the late 1950's, possibly into 1960.

I remember them and really liked them. I wondered why they quit making them. They were like Kit Kats.

A candy bar! Because wafers are like the thing inside of Kit-Kats, and chocolate bars are made up of mostly chocolate. Maybe if it didn't have the caramel you could call it a wafer, I don't know.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.
According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv/ and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

I remember the commercial jingle: More, more, more of what you paid your nickel for....It's M&M;s Great Wafer bar." They were just like Kit Kats, only better tasting. I often wondered why they were taken off the market.

Don't know about those,sounds like some kind of Kit Kat bar. but I did see a new commercial just last night, about some new M & M ice cream thingy. I will have to look for it next time I go to the grocery.

It would be hard to make a wafer bar out of M&Ms. They would fall out all over the place. I do like the new Butterfinger Crisp. They are wafers and really good :-)

yes - I loved them! They were much better than Kit Kat - however - they were more expensive and looked smaller for the money than other bars - so no one bought them. They were YUM-OLA and I miss the. Those and Mars Bars were my faves and both are gone!

Sounds like another post WW2 fiasco! Are there any in the candy archives of the old bomb shelters & history museums? I missed that candy...we had no stores on my block in that era...sorry!
