I loved PowerHouse candy bars as a kid. I hope some day they will make it again. It was the best and I wish I had one now....

Remember the commercials, featuring the faceless Candy Nabber? "...and soon, I, the Candy Nabber, will have all the Powerhouse candy bars in the world--I want yours next!!" There s a punk band in Gainesville called Powerhouse, after the candy bar.

Powerhouse was my favourite! I always got one at the movie theater -- I don't think it had caramel in it.

a Powerhouse and a RC life didn't get any better then that as a kid

i haven't seen or had a poerhouse candy bar in over 25 years and in my opinion they were the best of all time.

Never ate one but I remember the little story about Mr Goodbar with Ms. Hershey behind the Powerhouse... now they have a Baby Ruth.

Pears-- Powerhouse did have caramel in it; one time while I was surfing on You Tube, I saw a 1977 commercial for the Powerhouse candy bar, and it said that it had chocolate, peanuts, fudge, and caramel. I made a comment a little while back about how in the mid '80s, Peter Paul ceased production of Powerhouse, because it was being outsold by many other popular brands, including Peter Paul's other brands such as Mounds and Almond Joy. (Peter Paul took over as the brand's parent company in the mid '70s when their original parent Williamson Candy Company went broke.)

I've been trying to find out what happened to Peter Paul's Powerhouse Candy Bar for a long time. It's the best candy bar I have ever tasted. I want it back P L E A S E !!!!!!!! I'm still trying to not cry because it is gone but trying y to smile because I was one of the lucky ones who ever tasted it. But I still want it back.

where could I get a power house bar from?

Lesha-- You can't. As I told a few other people already, Powerhouse candy bars haven't been available for purchase anywhere for nearly 25 years, as Peter Paul stopped manufacturing and distributing them around 1985-1986.

Grew up with the Powerhouse factory down the street. Great place to visit on Halloween. It was torn down and replaced with condos. It sat on Belmont Ave. & Kostner Ave. in Chicago.

Powerhouse had neither carmel nor nuts - It's base was a heavy chunk of simulates maple sugar, topped by a roll of nugat, and covered by a waxey chocolate. The were a bit bigger and heavier than the competition, and in 1939 they came out with a 4 oz. bar for a quarter - didn't last long because a quarter was beyond the purchasing power of most kids (a movie was $0.12). It was a lovely bar - I used to eat all of the bottom first. Anyone remember the Three Musketeers as 3 bars; one each of vanilla, cherry, and chocolate? How about the two cent "Guess What" with two peanutbutter kisses and a cracker-jack type prize, and a kid joke printed on the inside of the wrapper?

I recently found an old box for power House candy bars The box says carmal

The Power House I remember was circa 1970 to 1979 . It was in a blue anw hite wrapper. It was carmel and nugat . I believe it was the best candy bar ever made.

I miss my powerhouse bar it was the best candy bar i ever eat i wish somebody out there bring back those candy like the big original JUMBO PIE made of marshmallow inside was 5 cent in 1958 now is not the same pure imitation bring back the good ones like Good and plenty MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

The mother one of my highschool buddies use to buy me a powerhouse to go with my steak sandwich and fungungs.... My pregame meal back in the good ole early 80's !!!! I've eatin candy all over the world now. And it's still my favorite ,hands down,!!!!

PLEASE, Peter Paul or somebody, bring back the Powerhouse Candy Bar! I ate a bunch when I was a kid and instead of walking a mile for a Camel I would walk two miles for a Powerhouse Candy Bar at Mrs. Robinson's Grocery in Noetown.

I don't remember the Power house costing more than $.05. They were without a dought the best candy bar around. i wish some company would buy the recipe and make them again. I lived in Michigan then and Kids theatre price was $.o9.

i think Peter Paul was bought out by Hersey's. i remember going ice skating and having only 15 cents to spend i would by a powerhouse and a reeses peanut butter cup, the powerhouse was the best buy because it was one of the largest candy bar for the money unless you liked the charleston chew which was a little bigger. give me a powerhouse any day.

It was caramel, peanuts and fudge. You cam Google pictures of the candy bar and the wrappers state what the candy bar was composed of. I seriously doubt I could remember many things I ate in the 80's but I will never forget the Powerhouse bar. As most of you, I wish someone would bring the candy bar back.

My step-father died about 15 years ago and the only thing he wanted on his death bed was a PowerHouse candy bar! I searched everywhere for one and of course couldn't find one! I would have paid anything for one of those candy bars!!!!

The powerhouse candy bar was the best. The last time I had one was in 1988. the reason I started liking them was Bob Lilly of the Dallas Cowboys advertised for them. Does anyone remember that.

Ahh the memories i remember seeing this candy bar for the first time back around halloween of 1985 86 87 or 88 . I know it was around years before that but the thing is i did not see it before then. I remember that nice strong blue colored wrapper with white around the red candy bar name writing, very similar to the wrapper of the crunch bar by nestle. After that halloween i mentioned i found that this candy bar and another candy bar called peanut chews was the 2 candies that was the hardest to find in stores to buy. I remember seeing the power house candy bar in those fun size bags in Chatom a grocery store that also closed for business in the 80's. I saw a box for sale on ebay and on the side it said exactly what this candy bar consisted of

I worked at an amusement park in the summer of 1967 and didn't appreciate the food in the employees' dining room. So I practically lived on Power House bars and Coca Cola. What a match! I really miss the Power House bar.

As a young teenager in the mid 40's, I remember the best tasting candy bar EVER. It was this Power House. Each day when picking up my newspapers to deliver, I would stop at a confectionary store where the owner would have frozen Power House bars. Delicious and lasted a whole lot longer, this way. 60 years later and I still can remember that fantastic bar

The last place I remember finding Powerhouse candy :bars was in the vending machine where I went to cosmetology school in the Flint, MI area in 1987. I'll always remember how good they were and the advertising phrase "Peter Paul didn't call it 'Powerhouse' for nothin'! I have long searched for something similar, but no other candy bar compares. I'd love for them to come back. After all, the Twinkie wasn't allowed to die. Why the Powerhouse?

I have never forgotten the Powerhouse bar! It is the one thing I crave from my childhood! I'm hoping Hershey does a nostalgic return soon.

My favorite candy bar as a kid. Would go to the "little store" in our neighborhood and get one, and an RC or Coke. It was the best candy bar ever made, why hasn't someone at least came up with a copy?

I loved the Power House candy bar. I would stop when I was a teenager at Tony's market and buy one every other day. Wish they would come back.

My sister love the Power House candy bar. I really wish l could find some for her. Everytime l mention it she gets a big smile on her face. Someone help us find one.

Powerhouse began in 1927. The Walter Johnson company in Chicago (4500 W. Belmont). Ownership changed to Williams around 1962, and to Peter Paul in 1971. Powerhouse was advertised in LIFE Magazine in the 1940s, and the ads, in comic strip form, had readers think that eating the bars would add muscles and become stronger, like steroids.

When i was little, my mother used to take me to the Stroudsburg Newberry's (which i now find out was the original one), where we'd have a time out with grilled cheese and afterward buy us a Powerhouse candy bar. That candy was so good. I wish i could bring it all back sometimes. Innocent sweet times.

My Grandfather used to buy me a Powerhouse bar every Friday when we grocery shopped in the 60’s, It was truly my favorite candy of ALL Time. I very seldom eat sugar or chocolate since 1990, but if they made Powerhouse again I’d DEFINITELY BUY THEM 4 myself. Having a Powerhouse bar and a cold bottle of 7up with my Grandfather were some of the BEST DAYS of my child hood. To this day whenever my friends, and I talk a bout back in the day we always mention penneycandy, some 2 for a penney, and then we start on the bars: My Powerhouse, the Zero, Milkshake, and Nestles milk chocolate bars. Of course The POWERHOUSE was and will Always be my #1 and All Time Favorite. So whenever I’m asked don’t you eat chocolate I always reply I used to eat a candy bar called Powerhouse back in the day! PALEEZ-PLEEZ BRING THEM BACK!!!

OK, I'm dating myself here, but I seem to remember that Power House Candy bars was one of the sponsors on the "Captain Video" show, which was aired in the mid 50's. I can still remember a space Ranger pitching it on my parents small black and white TV.

Mike: "Captain Video" with Al Hodge (old Dumont network) had two sponsors: Powerhouse and Post Sugar Crisp (long before Sugar Bear), and on from 1949-51. Afterward, Judd Holdren assumed the captain's role in a theatrical serial by Columbia Pictures. YouTube has a Powerhouse commercial offering a Captain Video picture ring (1950) for a dime and one wrapper (from jumbo bar) or two regular wrappers. There's also a full "Captain Video" episode (1949) with Sugar Crisp commercials. Reminds me of the 1956 "Honeymooners" episode, where Norton (Art Carney) wore the space helmet, as he and Ralph (Jackie Gleason) argue over use of the TV set they bought.

Found another variant of a Powerhouse commercial on "Captain Video" with the Video Ranger (Don Hastings). The other has the show's announcer dressed like a ranger. Also, an episode with Post Raisin Bran and Baker's 4-In-1 chocolate syrup from late 1951. Shortly after, "Captain Video" ended production and left the Dumont network, bound for seven years of syndication (1952-59). In Chicago, WGN-TV was a Dumont affiliate which carried the show. Dumont folded in 1954, becoming ABC Television. Fawcett published a six-issue "Captain Video" series of comic books, which the story plots were much more elaborate than the low-budget TV show.

My mom worked at Johnson candy company as a forelady in the 50`s and 60`s, she retired from the campany in 1972.

I had a Powerhouse candy bar back in the early 80's. I only had one, and it was the best candy bar ever; I was truly disappointed to learn it was discontinued. Bring back this candy bar, it was really great!!!
