Sorry to burst your bubble, folks… I too loved this candy bar as a child, but if it were to come back today there is absolutely no way in heck that it would be like the original.
In case you haven’t noticed, candy bars have become increasingly smaller and of a lesser quality throughout the past two decades or so, ESPECIALLY in the 2000’s.
Ingredients like a whole grain cookie and globs of real peanut butter have gone to the garbage in favor of synthetic processed food-like stuffs that comprise most candy bars we encounter today. The food science industry has developed tons of substitutes for wholesome ingredients that are far cheaper for the candy companies to utilize.

The exception here may be premium candy bars.

Funny.. I HAD to look up info on PB Max candy bars to find out what the hell had happened to them and to see if I could somehow find them.
I had suddenly found myself craving them after talking to my finace about how it was my favorite candy bar when I was younger.
I would by a box of them at a time when I could and try to make them
l A S T, but it was impossible..I would gorge on them until my poor tummy was miserable..I read that they were discontinued due to the Mars family’s hatred for peanut butter…BOO!

If you really loved the PB Max this much, go to the Mars, Inc. Website and send them an email letting them know how much you miss the PB Max. If they get enough of these emails, maybe they will consider making them again.

P.S. I just sent a email myself.

Lets fight to bring the PB MAX back to life.

If Mars didn’t like peanut butter, why do they make candy with PB in it? Bet they like the profits.
If anyone knows where to get one, or how to make it homemade, let me know!! They were the best!!!
(Maybe Hershey’s will read this, and start making them!)

The PB Max rocked! And no, it did NOT have nuts.

It was a glorious cookie bar smoothered in the creamiest butter of the peanut-gods with tasty-little-puffed-rice-crispy-morsels all perfectly piled atop gobs and gobs of peanut butter and then alast….covered in milk-chocolatey-goodness. INSANLY GOOD!!!
I like to think of the PB Max as the Play Boy in my life cause I got played. He gave me a taste of the best thing ever and then riped it away from me leaving no trace at all.

Come back Play Boy Max, Come back….

My daughter and I would make a special trip everyday to buy a PB MAX. It was our favorite candy bar. Most times I would buy them by the box. I don’t recall any peanuts in them. Cookie, lots of Creamy Peanut Butter, and these awesome little round crunchy things that made the candy bar, then covered with a wonderful chocolate layer. “What’s not to love?” Everytime I’m out I scan candy counters just hoping that this delicious candy bar comes back to life. I agree with Vickie “PLEASE bring the MAX back”

i remember this candy bar too. and to this day i’m still searching for it or hoping that it comes back. NOTHING beat it. and it wasn’t peanuts, i believe they were little rice crispy like things in the peanut butter. and yes it was creamy. nothing like a reese’s. and it was TALL. i mean seriously like an inch and a half of creamy peanut butter. piled on top of a twix like square cookie with little crispies in the peanute butter and covered in chocolate. hands down, the best candy bar i’ve ever had. ridiculously good, so much so that i’m still craving it TODAY. can’t believe nobody makes this nowadays.
