All the pleas to Hollywood Candy Co. probably are in vain.
As they are defunct.
However since Hershey bought out the rights to ZERO maybe they also bought the rights to Butternut.
Somone (maybe Hershey) bought Pay Day or as I called it a “Naked Baby Ruth”.
Zero is still delicious but I think they fooled with it some.
I think we should inquire to Hershey.
I always thought the bar had black walnuts or black walnut flavoring, but I had no facts to back that up. Maybe it was a butter flavoring that made them so much better.
It is insane that they are gone. I pray someone kept the formulas for some future venture.
Butternut and Zero my alltime Movie theatre favs.

Butternut was one of my favorite candy bars. Does anyone remember the commercial? “They’re buttery, nuttery, buttery, nuttery, Butternut!” It was animation and featured an elephant, if I remember correctly.

They need to bring back the Choc-o-lite bar, too.

well I looked for this candy bar and found it in Lawton, Oklahoma this was between the years of 1995-1999. My husband was station there. This is indeed a sad day to find out it’s gone for good. Please bring it back and yes it would be great if you started down south.

Oh Yes!! Please bring back the Butternut candy bar. They were excellent!! I had them in Virginia in the early 60’s. In answer to an earlier question, I recall that they did not have any nougat – they were a caramelly filling (not as chewy as Kraft caramels) with nuts on top covered in milk chocolate. They had a nice rich buttery taste. YUM!!

I grew up in south Louisiana. I adored, no loved, my Butter Nut candy bar, especially-one bite of Butter Nut with two potato chips (Lay’s, of course)! If I had a dollar that week, I would have a small bottle of coke to wash it all down! It’s a good thing we could play outside for hours!!!

I to grew up enjoying the butternut bar. What’s most amazing is the fact that other candies lasted and it didn’t. I don’t get it! I would love the oppurtunity to be a distributor of the Butternut Candy Bar.
I agree bring the candy bar back.
