"Philadelphia might be known for its cream cheese and whipped spreads, but the brand once also made snack bars that fans desperately want back. Made with a base of graham crackers and crowned with a cream cheese topping, Philadelphia's cheesecake snack bars were sold in markets with options such as chocolate chip, white chocolate and raspberry, strawberry, and classic flavors. Released in 2001, the product was discontinued a few years later due to reported manufacturing challenges. Lovers of the convenient snack are not pleased."
""They were delicious dessert bars that made you feel like you died and went to heaven," penned petition organizers. Some of these snack bar fiends yearn for the sweet taste of nostalgia, recalling memories of the sweet snacks. "These cheesecake bars were the absolute highlight of my childhood and I miss them dearly," wrote one Change.org petitioner. "Please bring them back! No other snack will ever compare!""
Philadelphia released cream-cheese cheesecake snack bars in 2001 with a graham cracker base and cream cheese topping, available in flavors like chocolate chip, white chocolate and raspberry, strawberry, and classic. The product was discontinued a few years later because of reported manufacturing challenges. Fans launched a 2017 online petition that gathered over 51,000 signatures demanding a return. Petitioners and Reddit users recalled childhood memories and described the bars as irresistible. Many fans have attempted homemade recreations and developed copycat recipes, especially for the strawberry flavor, but reproducing the bars’ specific texture and taste has proved difficult.
