Little Debbie Caramel Cookie Bars, a classic snack featuring a chewy cookie base with rich caramel and a chocolatey topping, were indeed discontinued by McKee Foods, leading to fan petitions and nostalgia posts online, as they were a popular treat for decades after their 1988 launch before disappearing from shelves, replaced by other varieties but never forgotten by fans.

What They Were: A popular spinoff introduced in March 1988, these bars offered a delightful combination of a soft, buttery cookie topped with a thick layer of sweet caramel and a drizzle of chocolate icing. They were a staple in the Little Debbie lineup for about 25 years before being removed from production.

Discontinuation & Fan Reaction: While some online sources mistakenly suggested they were just replaced by a salted caramel version, official communications confirmed the original Caramel Cookie Bars were out of production.
