You Ruined Mother’s Taffy Cookies

They have been my favorite cookie since childhood and they were my grandmother’s favorite as well. They taste horrible now.

I hate the shape, color and flavor of the cookie and the filling. I’ll never buy them again.

I couldn't agree with you more. Completely different taste , texture and size .

Same with the cereals . Yuk !

Guest

The Ferrero Group and its related companies, including Ferrara USA, recently acquired cookie, pie crust, fruit-flavored snacks, and ice cream cone brands from the Kellogg Company. Please reach out to them at this number 866-866-****

I miss the old Taffy Cookie recipe.

Guest

Completely agree

Guest

My father's routine for years has been to have a cup of decaf coffee and a Mother's Taffy Cookie after dinner. We can no longer even find these on the grocery shelf and the imposter posing as taffy cookies doesn't look or taste the same.

Why did you have to change it? Very disappointed....

Guest

Please bring back the original Taffy cookie. I also stopped buying the new one.

Guest

original taffy brand was a mandatory "concession" in order for any other mother's brands to reach our shopping cart. we never even look at/for the brand in the aisle anymore. *the packaging seems invisible now- we look around it as we explore new products*

Alyxis Wja

I used to love Mother’s especially the taffy, now they are smaller and taste nothing like the Taffy Mothers had before Kellogg’s bought them out. I am done buying them. So sad this country and their garbage food Kellogg’s you should be ashamed to sell such trash

Not good at all. So disappointing!!

Guest

I totally agree. I'm never purchasing mother's cookies again!

Guest

No bueno!!

Guest

I also hate the new change in the cookie I grow up on mother's cookies but I'm done now!

Guest

What happened to my favorite cookies? Mothers changed the taffy cookies so much that I think they are nothing like the original Taffy and should change the name.

Mothers made the "cookie" part the same as their "English Tea" product.

I don't understand why they made the change to their 2nd most popular (behind the pink/white animal) and they made them unrecognizable. I hate the changes that they didn't need to make!

I’m pissed too I used to love the original taffy cookies. The new ones suck. No creme, no coconut taste

Guest

Totally loved original taffy cookies!!! The new version is AWFUL!!!

Taffy were my favorite since I was little and they were my grandparents favorite too, they actually introduced them to me meaning they have been everyone’s favorite since I can remember!!

Totally ruined the cookie recipe!! Hope they manage to bring it back ASAP!!!!!

Yes, I to love the original Taffy cookies, the new ones suck Please bring back the real Taffy cookies

Guest

They need to go out of business for taking the best store bought cookie and making it not even trash can worthy. I sat them outside for a few nights and the rats and raccoons wouldn’t even eat them.

Guest
reply icon Replying to comment of Guest-1975766

Agreed again

Guest

I want my money back! I will never buy the new version again.

They are completely horrible!

They completely messed up a good thing. Congratulations

Kelloggs - Solid chunk hard as a rock came out of the box

I'm not sure how this would happen, but what else could be in there? I was really surprised to hear this loud, audible thud when this unidentified mass hit my cereal bowl. Just glad I didn't bite into it!

Thinks that they should be more concerned about commercials they air

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The commercial they have with the man jumping up and down in the kids bouncing around with him and he is holding his hand in his pocket looks like he's playing with himself shouldn't have ever allowed that type of commercial

Please respond. Thank you

You've Ruined Honey Smacks

I'm not sure what you had to do to get Honey Smacks back on the shelf, but the new recipe is not going to work for those of us who have loved the cereal since we were kids. I was so excited to see Honey Smacks back on the shelf and actually paid full price for a box (instead of waiting for a sale) because I had been going through withdrawals.

I could tell by the looks of the cereal as soon as I opened the box that you had changed the recipe. Honey Smacks is now discolored and bland. I didn't even finish the first bowl. I dumped it down the drain and threw the rest of the box in the trash.

It was disgusting. Post did something to ruin Golden Crisp years ago and I haven't bought a box since. You have now ruined Honey Smacks and I won't purchase another box unless you go back to the original recipe. Post woke up and brought the original recipe back for Honey Comb when their customer base revolted.

Here's hoping Kelloggs will do the same with Honey Smacks. Bring back the original recipe!

The ‘something’ is GMO grains and high fructose corn syrup replacing cane sugar. Even when they use sugar these days it’s from GMO sugar beets.

And then they have the gall to put out TV commercials saying ‘sugar’s sugar’ to get us all on board.

Not buying it. Don’t even get me started!

michi

It gave me the runs

Guest

Agree honey smacks and corn pops taste awful since they stopped using the silver bag to keep the cereal fresh

Guest

horrible I have to throw the entire box out, so disgusting, it's like eating pellets.

Guest

I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments expressed about the new version of Honey Smacks - it's just dreadful. It tastes like sweetened morsels of cardboard.

It's absolutely nothing like the original version. How could they screw it up that badly?

Bing Oof

Yes they totally messed up the recipe. I brought a box today hoping and praying they went back to the original recipe but they did NOT!!!

The cereal is dull, bland and not crispy.

What’s the deal with this and why is it so darn hard to make the original recipe version. I will not but another box until it’s changed back to original recipe.

Guest

totally agree....tasted it, threw it out along with the full box. awful is too kind of a word.

Same thing here... took a couple of bites then in the trash can it went!

Guest

Omg the new change of this cereal is DISGUSTING please change it back immediately! There are some things you just should not change and "Smacks" is one of them.

Guest

Same here I made the mistake of buying for boxes. After I opened the first box I thought I got a bad batch.

So I proceeded to open the other box. They were all disgusting and bland. I started to take them back to the store.

That's when I notice it. New *** disgusting recipe.

horrible

Guest

I agree with every word.

Guest

Honey Smacks are now inedible -- like beads of cardboard.

Guest

What happened to the crispness of honey smacks. Consistency now feels like the cereal was exposed to 100% humidify then boxed. I've eaten them all my 65 years but have purchased my last box.

Guest

Horrible I gave it 3 chances but just threw out my 3rd and last box since the change. Too bad as they had a good consumer base.

Moses J Aju

These new honey snacks are bad. I finished one bowl and through the rest in the trash. How could anyone put this kind of crap out for customers to buy?

Guest

The cereal tastes like popcorn. I want the old recipe back!

Guest

I agree. It looks completely different and the taste is horrible.

I was so excited when purchase it and I wanted to share it with my kids. Soo disappointed.

They lost the order for the bowl

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

So I did everything they asked for receipts and everything to get a free bowl and I never received one and they so called lost it in the mix whatever that means so they issued me a coupon for a free box. I was sending away for something for my 15-year-old daughter to show her how cool it was when I was younger when you would get prizes in the box, they really didnt show any remorse about it and Said I could try again next year pretty disappointed

They are reducing the size but still labeling the box as mega-sized. This is false advertising and overpricing.
