This is one thing I really miss from the seventies. I have tried other peanut butters, but nothing tastes as good as this and nothing compares. It came in different flavors… cinnamon, banana (my favorite), chocolate, and vanilla.

Kraft released this product back in 1971…I did write Kraft asking to bring it back, but alas…no no response. I remember it disappearing around 1976-77.

I’m not on Facebook, but I’m glad someone is putting it to good use…A Bring Back Koogle Page!

Koogle was an innovative, flavor-forward peanut snack that captured kid-friendly attention with its sweetness and slick texture. But its indulgent ingredients and premium price turned off parents seeking healthier, more economical options. Although it vanished by the late ’70s, its quirky charm, kooky mascot, and googly-eyed jars remain a beloved part of snack-food history.

It’s kind of amazing how a product that only lasted maybe seven years still sparks that kind of fondness decades later. That’s the power of taste and memory wrapped together, flavored peanut butter as a time machine.

If Kraft ever brought it back (with a slightly more health-conscious recipe), you just know the nostalgia shelves at Target would sell out in an afternoon.
