Look candy bar memories...

OMG, I have not been able to find these for years!! I remember that we would get an allowance of 25 cents per week, and I would buy a look bar because they were SOOO tasty. The dark chocolate would ooze into the nougat when you at it and it just would make your mouth water. Looks were the same as big hunks, but they had chocolate on them and big hunks didn't. They had nougat centers with nuts. I was so unhappy when I couldn't find them anymore. ~ Patricia from Kansas

Look Bars cost 5 cents each when I was growing up in Southern California in the '60s. As soon as I got my weekly allowance on Saturday, I would rush to the corner store and buy at least one Look Bar. I loved the chewiness and the dark chocolate. Sometimes I'd put it in the refrigerator to get cold then crack it on the kitchen table to get bite-sized pieces. Part of the reason I love dark chocolate is because of Look Bars.

A couple of months ago I mentioned Look bars to a friend of mine. I told her they were my favorite childhood candy memory and that I missed them. She had never heard of them. I didn't think anybody made them anymore. End of story? No. The other day we met for lunch to celebrate my birthday, and there was a bag filled with Look Bars waiting for me! I just couldn't believe my luck that they're still making them and that I have a friend who would go to the effort of getting them for me. I'm rationing them, but they're going quickly and I'll order some for myself very soon.   ~ Karen from North Carolina

I grew up in California and used to collect pop bottles with my Brother. We would take our bottles to the tiny corner market to cash them in. Then we would each pick out our favorite candy as a reward.

My favorite candy bar was LOOK and I always got one with my pop bottle money. As I got older my taste in candy bars never changed because LOOK is still my favorite. I moved to Illinois in 1980 and was very sad to find out LOOK candy bars were not sold here. I visit California every couple of years and I always stock up on my LOOK candy bars before coming back to Illinois. I keep them in the freezer to maintain their freshness & take one out to eat as a treat now and then.

It has been over two years since my last visit to and I just ate my last LOOK candy bar. I was going to call my Daughter who lives in California and ask her to send me some, but thought of ordering them from the internet instead. Sure wish I could get them at my local store like I did as a kid! At least, I can still get them thanks to online ordering. I really love the Dark Chocolate covering the chewy nougat & nuts inside. Brings me back to my childhood! ~ Susie from Illinois
