Oh yeah, I remember these well. Kinda similar to Twix, but had peanuts too. Probably been 20 years or more since I recall seeing 'em...

These were the absolute best-tasting candy bars around!

Yes, where can I find some of these? Is it possible?

Do you remember the commercial??? "Homework, Homework, give me break!" Need a break, have a Summit candy bar!

I remember the wrapper had a bright orange sun with rays reaching out to all corners. I loved this candy bar!

This was my favorite candy bar.

I USE TO LOVE SUMMIT BARS THE FUNNY THING IS THAT I WAS WALKING THROUGH THE CANDY SECTION OF THE STORE AND I WAS THINKING MAN I WISH THEY STILL HAD SUMMIT BARS OUT I COULD GO FOR ONE

I long for a Summit Candy Bar. I am not a candy bar fan...but that Summit Candy Bar... I crave them. I wish I knew they were to be "retired" and I would have purchaced CASES of them and stored them in a freezer. I would love to just SEE an old wraper that someone saved... a picture of what it looked like... There is NOTHING ELSE that compaires to the taste of a Summit Candy Bar. Does anyone agree? If you have a picture or other info, please email me dave . taylor @ blackbox-vs . com Thanks! Dave

I loved the Summit bar...they remind me of Twix bars. I just ate a Twix and decided to Google Summit to see if anyone else missed them!

OMG...I soooo miss summit bars. I used to eat 'em every day growing up. It was like watching baseball. I would do ANYTHING to grab a hold of just one summit bar!

My MOM used to get them in the 24 packs for me and my brother ....... THEY WERE THE BEST!!!

I have wondered about/longed for the Summit bar literally for decades... As a kid in the early 80's, I always thought it was interesting how similar they were to Twix - but slightly better in my opinion. My theory on their fate (pretty clear if you think about it) is that they were forced out of business by Twix: either took a buyout from Twix's parent company to stop producing a candy that was such a direct competitor or knuckled under to possible legal threats... Does anyone remember the Go Ahead bar - especially the main national TV commercial for it?

I miss that candy bar. It was my favorite. The fun part if it was when is would melt it was a challange to eat.

When I was a kid in the early 80's, my sister left for a babysitting job and forgot her Summit Bar on the tool bench in the garage. I knew she would be gone for hours and there was no way I could wait for her to get home so I could ask her for a bite, so I ate it and figured I'd deal with the consequences later. I bet she was thinking of it the whole time she was babysitting--clueless that I was eating it for her. Ha! I though back then that they were made by the same company as Twix because of the similarity.

It would be great if someone contacted the company that made the Summit Bar and they brought it back. I loved them when I was a child. It is a shame I can't pass the experience with my children.

I am SO glad that SOMEBODY (i.e. Shana) remembers that the original "give me a break" did NOT belong to KitKat, it belonged to Summit Candy Bars. For years people thought I was crazy (which might be true but for other reasons), the "give me a break" belonged to Summit first.

These were my favorite candy as a child. I remember they had an orange wrapper. If I remember correctly, the candy was changed/reformulated for a short period of time with a new grey/blue wrapper. I remember being so disappointed when they changed it. I hated the new Summit bar. I wish I could have one now. The original was the best.

I to love the summit bar, I remember seing one in a tree as boy and asked my grandpa to get it for me but he wouldn't because it was too high now that I'm 6 foot 7 I always have to touch the spot where the summit bar was, oh well if they would just get a clue and bring it back I would buy a case of a 1000 so that it would stay around.

U BET THEY WERE THE GREATEST CANDY BARS EVER, MY HUSBAND AND I; BOTH AGREE THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE CONTINUED THE SALE OF THIS MOST MAGNIFICENT TASTING CANDY BAR "SUMMIT BAR". WE WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SHARE THIS DELICIOUS TREAT WITH OUR CHILDREN.

Can anyone find an image of the wrapper? I searched the web over and came away with nothing...

Deloris-"The Summit was the BEST candy bar of all times. I so vividly remeber the tasty chocalate, wafers, and peanuts. I so long to relive that pleasant memory. In every city I have ever visited in the world, I have searched with fingers crossed for the Summit. I wish I could influence the manufacturers to bring back those glorious days. " Krista-"Every morning I wake up and my mother is sitting at my bed staring at my face. She tells me I look a Summit Candy Bar. W ehave an entire drawer filled with Summit wrappers. Sometimes she takes the wrappers out and lays them on the ground and licks them. She cries when she reminsces on the sweet and savory taste of this candy bar. I wish I could somehow taste one for myself; or for my mother and I to share a bar and share a beautiful bonding moment. My mother even named our dog Summit! I hope I get the chance to taste the SUMMIT BAR!!!!!!"

I remember the summit bar. I believe that the original came in an orange-red and brown wrapper. Then they changed the formula, and the wrapper became silver, with ornange and yellow writing. I do not recall the wrapper ever being blue as one of the people on this site suggested. Those of you who remember Summit Bar may also recall a similar candybar, the Bar None from Hersheys, also discontinued. It was good, then alas, they too changed the formula, adding caramel, and it was not as good as the original. Shortly thereafter, they discontinued the Bar None, except I have read on other sites that it is still made in Mexico. Another person recalled the Go-Ahead bar and queried about commercials for it. I distinctly remember a commercial for the Go-Ahead bar that involved an Abbot and Costello routine. I think the Go-Ahead came out aout the same time as the original Witchemecallit Bar, which was also ruined, in my opinion, when they revamped it to include caramel.

Summit and Twix were made by the same manufacturer. They were both introduced at the same time. Twix with it's cookie crunch and caramel and Summit with it's wafers and peanut butter. I remember the commercial with the Mountain climbers and the jingle; "It's Summit, after only one bite, Summit, after only one bite, 'cause it's chocolate, peanuts and, chocolate, peanuts and LITE...." I also remember when they discontinued the Summit bar, they introduced a 'new' Twix....the regular one with the cookie crunch and caramel, and the one with peanut butter.....I guess it was to compensate for the missing Summit bar..

Oh my gosh!!! No one I talk to remembers the Summit bar. That was and is still my absolute favorite!!!

Does anyone have a picture of the Summit wrapper? I sure do miss them candies. They tasted way better than Twix! anisylprz@yahoo.com

I remember the saying. TRY Summit a DELICIOUS BREAK ANYTIME!

The absolute best candy bar EVER!! It's funny, because I remember the Summit bars from when I was a kid, and I remember president reagan was set to engage in some very important conferences with the Russian leader micheal gorbachev (I'm sure it's spelled wrong). They called these conferences "SUMMIT" conferences! The candy bar was out around the same time that these conferences were taking place. I'm sure that one didn't have anything to do with the other, but I think it's a cool coincidence nonetheless!

why do they always quit making the good stuff. they still make the reese's whipped they should have whipped the one that insulted reese's good name by inventing this.

I do remember this great candy bar. I just wonder why did they stop the sale of this great candy bar. I could really use one about now!

i used to love these candy bars wish they still made them but of course they always take the good stuff off the shelf

how do we get them to reconsider? summit bars were the best!

I'm so happy I'm not the only one who remembers the Summit bar! They were my favorites and so often over the years I've craved one. I used to think maybe one day at an old country store I'd come across one, but no such luck.

Look it up on youtube! You will crack up!

OMGosh!! I loved this candy bar as a kid, I remember eating it very slowly as to savor every bite! Should of eaten them even slower now that they are no longer available!!!

I so loved the Summit candy bar in the 80's. I remember when they were going to discontinue it, my friend bought like 20 or more wrapped them, and gave it to me for Christmas. I treasured every bite of those remaining candy bars and didn't share with anyone! I also would look for this and the Marathon bar (my 2nd favorite) in candy shops around the world when I travel hoping that someplace else has a clue that these are the best candy bars ever invented and still carry them, but to no avail. I don't like Twix.

Summit Candy Bars are my all-time favorite - wish they would bring them back!

who made summit? Reeces? All I know is the last time I had one was in 1978. Why would they get rid of such an awesome candy bar? why not bring it back. My other favorite was the MARATHON BAR

Does anyone who made the Summit candy bar??

I have done lotsof research on the Summit bar and I am sorry to say that are am pretty sure they are NOT coming back. Tears of sadness, I know. So far teh reeses wafer candy bar thing is kinda close exempt for size and taste but it is as close to the SUmmit bar out there and I try them all becasue I like you love and miss my Summit bars...

summitt candy bars wow i would pay $50 to taste one again

I keep watching Unwrapped on the Food Network hoping to see a Summit candy bar but no luck yet.. OH how I would love to have a Summit. I think of the candy bar and the memories it brings back..Why do they always stop the good stuff?

I remember a candy bar that looked and tasted just like a Kit Kat, but nobody else remembers it. If anybody remembers it, please let me know the name. They were both out together shortly if I am correct, then this one was discontinued. - Thanks

I was actually looking it up now to see if they were sold anywhere else. There are alot of companies that sell old time candies. I am frustrated, not my Summit bar. I loved them. The company that stopped making them are so stupid to stop making such a wonderful candy. What a loss.

Summit came out at the same time TWIX did. I remember because my mom worked at a little Ben Franklin store where they were sold. I remember the orange & brown wrapper and I'll never forget the taste! Reese's Stix are the closest thing I've tasted. But they're not as good as Summit.

I have been craving the summit candy bar for years!! Once when I was growing up my dad brought home am garbage bag FULL of these bars! To bad I had to share them with my sister and brother!! I wish the company that made them would bring them back!!

summit's wrapper was silver. SILVER! it was never orange and there were never peanuts! and wafers?! i last had summit in mid 80's in cleveland, GA in my camp's canteen. the wrapper's out there somewhere. someone's got it.

I could not agree more with mrhanman. No Summit AND no Bar None? Why keep coming up with fifty varieties of one product that stray too far from a good thing to be considered worthy of a consumer? Use those funds to bring back a tried and true product, even if only for a limited time, to test the waters of consumer interest. If you want to add caramel to something? Leave the option to purchase the original product and monitor sales before just getting rid of the original item that allowed for the split off in the first place. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

to Dirt McGirt - you are sooo wrong! Go to YouTube and do a search for "SUMMIT CANDY BARS KATHY LEE GIFFORD" and you will see what everyone else is talking about

i started a "bring the summit bar back" page on facebook in case anybody is interested... http://www.facebook.com/groups/create.php?success=1&customize=&gid=72731880349#/groups/edit.php?members&gid=72731880349

I LOVED this candy bar! After reading through all of the comments, I still haven't figured out if we know for sure who made it. I thought it was Mars. Wonder why they WON'T bring it back. Even if for a limited edition offering. Has anyone ever tried to contact the original manufacturer? I just know that someday we'll have an opportunity to wrap our lips around this amazing candy bar...but then again, things NEVER are the way we remembered them...I wouldn't want to be disappointed!

Summit ad on youtube!! Go there and paste _2DCUXKRtKI into the search box! Even better than a picture, eh? Now you'll all want one even more! Muhahaha! LOL!

OH MY GOD...SUMMIT BARS WERE THE BEST AND YES THEY DID HAVE PEANUTS..I AGREE WITH EARLIER COMMENT REESE'S STIX ARE THE CLOSEST THING TO THEM AND NOW THEY ARE GETTING EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND TOO

Summits were the best!!!! My husband doesn't remember them?!?! He's 8 years older then me! Anyway- They were the best ever!!!!! I also agree that the closest thing is the Reese's stix... but not the same. Please bring them back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!!!! found people that knows what i'm taking about, i used to love SUMMITS they were delicious, can someone tell me why they stopped making them, they came out at the same time as the Twix bars, why people doesnn remeber them? They should bring them back

I remember when I was nine (now I am 36)and how disappointed I were when the store stop selling Summit; but, they had twix where the Summit were place in the store. I was like what the HELL! Then they came with Bar None, a close continder;however, then they discontinue it also.

read the book on m&m mars candy company check the library.it explains why summit disappeared.Mr Mars was unhappy did not outsell snickers....was a good seller..the mars family wanted wow super selling.according to the book

Oh man, couldn't remember the name, it's been so long, so I did a search. Loved the Summit bar. I used to buy them by the case at a candy wholesaler that was near where I lived . Summit bars and Velamints.

The closest thing currently available to a Summit Bar is the Reese's Sticks. They're not exactly the same, as I remember, but pretty darn close! Close enough that my taste-buds were initially fooled into thinking that Reese's bought the recipe and re-named it!

Hey, got another one that tastes a lot like the Summit Bar - the new Baby Ruth Crisp bars. I know, Baby Ruths taste nothing like Summit Bars did, but I swear the new BR Crisp bars are even closer than Reese's sticks to tasting like Summit Bars because unlike Reese's sticks, the BR Crisp bars have peanuts on top of the waffers just like Summit, though they're not all chopped up like Summit. Saw them at the gas station this morning and thought I'd give them a try - always a sucker for new candy bars ;^) And as soon as I took my first bite, right away I thought of the Summit Bar! The Baby Ruth Crips also has 2 in a pack, but not sticks, more like fun size bars. Seriously, try one and you'll see what I mean. Rock out!

I thought for the longest time, I was the only person who remembered this candy bar. It will always be my favorite. I could really enjoy one now too. Watchamacalit was second for me, until they put carmel in it, ruined it for me. Thanks everyone for the memories.

I know how you feel i've been wanting one too, and no one knows what i'm talking about either everyone should start e-mailing the mars company until they give it back to us,,,lol

The Summit Candy Bar was made by MARS. You can contact them from their website www.mars.com and let them know they need to bring it back into production

I would love a summit bar right now!Very tasty!!

Summitt candy bars were NOT like Twix candy bars. I do not care for Twix. Summitt candy bars were more like KitKats except much, much, MUCH better! They were soft wafers with layers of peanuts and chocolate with peanuts on top and then dipped in chocolate. I loved them so much and have been craving them for over 20 years now! Please bring them back Mars!!

I am so happy to see that other people remember Summit bars! They did come out at the same time as Twix. What happened to them??? My husband doesn't remember them but now I know I'm not crazy and they did exist!!!

Yes, this was my absolute favorite candy bar back when I was younger! I would definitely consume more if it were available today!!

I FEEL VINDICATED! No one ever remembers the Summit bar when I bring it up. I loved it, I miss it and I want it back!!!!!

Just amazing, I thought no one else remembered this Candy bar, It was the Best! They need to make this again.... How can we get them to do it?

My dad would buy me 2 of these at a time as a child. I have fond memories of them. I just e-mailed the Mars corporation and told them they need to bring them back. I would suggest that everyone do the same.Let's get this bar back on the shelves. We can do it!

I would get them to put on top of birthday presents as a kid--that way my presents always got opened first at birthday parties. MISS THEM!!! Bring em back!

Yes this was a great candy bar, I remember it well as a kid. Too bad it's not available anymore.

Just wrote to the co. about it. Maybe everyone should write to the co. then maybe they'll bring it back.

Summitt bars did come out the same time Twix candy bar around 1982. I also chose Summitt over Twix. Pleases bring back what America craves SUMMITT.

lets all contact the mars company and ask them to bring back the summit bar !! how could they say no?!

Summit bars were the best! The were light and airy, even with the wafers and peanuts. It was definitely a challenge to eat them before they melted. My best friend and I used to buy them when we were little, and still miss them to this day! Wouldn't it be nice if Mars read all these comments and decided to start making them today?!!

"Peanuts, Wafers and Light" The original logo for Summit Bars. Been without them far too long, bring them back Mars

I have often wondered what happened to the summit bar. I really liked it; it was my favorite. I really wish Mars would consider bringing it back. I am surprised to see how many people remember the candy bar and have committed on how they wish they could buy them again. We all miss that great taste of the summit bar.

I somewhat remember these coming out the same time as Twix, but I could be wrong. Certainly it was during a time when I was becoming more aware of the world around me, but I do remember a world without Twix . . . kinda like cookie dough ice cream, which is a much more recent phenomenon than one would think it you were a Gen Y'er.

Haha, YES, Diego - in fact, I was born right on the borderline between Gen X & Gen Y, and so I remember when Cookies n Cream ice cream was a novelty! (Also Chicken McNuggets.) :)

"Peanut,Wafers and Light" May you rest in peace!Gone forever! The original Summit bar ingredients process was changed, and the sales fell flat! Yes,Summit & Twix were made about the same time!

YES,GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN NEED A COME BACK

R.I.P. love the summitt

I used to buy this candy bar all the time as a child. I was telling a much younger coworker about them and he suggested I look online because you can purchase novelties from the past. I was VERY disappointed to find out they are no longer available. So many childhood food & snacks from the past are gone. I wish Mars would bring back the original summit candy bar PLEASE.

Summit Candy Bar was made by Mars and they NEED to bring it back ASAP!!! :)

Actually the Bar None candy bar comes very close to the summitt candy bar. Bar None started in the mid 80's around the time the summitt bar was discontinued. Bar None was discontinued in the 90's sometime, however I hear it is still being made in Mexico or something.

Nothing taste like the Summit Candy Bar. It was so yummy. I find myself still searching for them which brought me to this site. MARS, please bring them back! Pleasssseeeee.

I've been telling my husband about Summit candy bars forever and he looks at me like I have 5 heads!! Haha no I have proof I am not crazy, they did exist and were the best EVER, yes indeed, yes indeed!!! Every week my mom would let me pick a snack for my lunch and I always would get the box of Summits they sold right next Twix! How GREAT would it be to see one of these babies in the candy isle?!

I'm so glad to see so many other Summit lovers out there besides me. I thought I was alone in my sorrow over a candy bar that hasn't been around in 20 years. If the candy manufactures' are monitoring this site, please bring them back!!!!

Summit bars were two bars like Twix, and came out about the same time. Summit was made with wafers instead of solid cookies. KitKat has a Crispy bar out now that is the closest candy bar I've ever found to Summit bars.

They were the BEST!!! I remember when both Summit and Twix bars came out. I wad working at Cumberland Farms in Bradley Beach NJ and candy was taxable but not the Summit and Twix bars because they were considered cookie bars and cookies were not taxable. You can keep Twix...bring back Summit!

The first time I seen a Summit bar, I thought it was alot like Twix, until I tried them. They were my favorite.... What I would spend now just to taste one!!!!

If you never had the pleasure of tasting a SUMMIT candy bar i'm sorry you missed out cause they were the best ever it was simple but unique to me it looked like a TWIX but had the crunch of a KITKAT it's hard to explain to the unfamiliar ones but those who know can confirm.This was old school at it's best !!!

I used to buy a Summit candy bars every day at lunch time when I was in Junior High. I'm now 52 years old and I'm still hoping that they will return!!!!

I remember buying Summit chocolate bars it was the best chocolate bar I ever tasted ,I don’t know why they discontinued.But I remember as a kid enjoying it.Wish they can bring it back.

It Is 2018 I Have Not scene a Summit CandBar yet would be nice to see It again I remember the candy bar growing up best candy bar I ever had I wish Hershey's would make it again

Summit is nothing like Twix Twix has a shortbread cookie summit is waffer Twix has Carmel summit does not Twix doesn't have nuts summit does!! The only thing the same is the chocolate and layers!! I loved summit I was so said when the took them away wish they would bring them back!!

I think they were in the cookie isle. Possibly packaged along with Twix. Completely different cookie bars

Justin, why was there a Summit up in the tree???
