Anyone remember this beauty?
Oh, MY… how I loved the Peanut Butter Sandwich: a simple but practically perfect sweet-and-salty mix of peanut butter and graham cracker covered in a thick layer of chocolate! It used to be widely available in both Disney World and Disneyland. Then it slowly was removed from the scene in Disney World, to be found ONLY in Disneyland.
And then, the worst came to be. We got word that it was being phased out in Disneyland as well. And you ALL know the pain of having one of your favorite Disney snacks ripped mercilessly from your grip.
BUT…
Imagine my surprise — and delight — when I happened upon THIS at Pooh Corner in Critter Country YESTERDAY!
According to a Cast Member I spoke with, Disney has brought them back for a trial run!
The difference? These days they are made in-house (previously, Disney had purchased them from a third party), so they’re slightly different than the previous version.
The outer chocolate layer has been spruced up a bit with a dark chocolate Mickey and sprinkling of nuts.
And inside, you’ll notice that the layer of peanut butter is MUCH thicker than the nearly half-and-half ratio of the previous sandwich. WOO!
Remember, the Cast Member said this is a trial run only. It’s definitely available at Pooh Corner, but I didn’t get over to Candy Palace or Trolley Treats to check their stock, yet, so let me know if you see it in either of those two spots.
Availability may change at any time. It probably goes without saying that I’m hoping it passes the trial test. Just in case, though, I’m grabbing a few extra for the road. And if you spot it I’d HIGHLY suggest picking one (or two. Or five.) up for yourself!
Are you glad to see the return of the Disneyland Peanut Butter Sandwich? Please let us know with a comment!

Not only does this look BETTER than the only version, if it’s made in-house I’m gunning for a return for WDW!
Karen says
I’m waiting for them to bring back the chocolate and caramel dipped pretzel rods! They were the best!
Essie says
They look wonderful If WDW gets them, I’m in!
Shenara says
Please let these be there in December. I really don’t want to buy a Magic Kingdom ticket, on my October trip, just to try this.
James D. says
Excellent! Can’t wait to try it later this month if it’s still around!
Sue says
I can’t tell from the pictures – is the peanut butter still sandwiched between graham crackers, or are those softer, cookie-like layers?
Kymberli says
I was SO disappointed when I walked into Pooh Corner and they no longer sold my favorite treat in all of Disneyland. This post makes me happy! Crossing my fingers they pass their trial. Everyone, go buy one! 🙂
Eean says
I could have sworn I saw them at the Candy Palace a couple of weeks ago. I should have gotten one!!
Brooke says
Eean — Let us know if you find them there! 😀
Jackie says
I picked one up at Marceline’s last week in DTD. I was thrilled to see it there!!

Just left Disneyland today…
They are in all the stores and sweets shops in Disney and in downtown Disney. But they are very different… more PB but I think the ratio is off a little. I prefer the original better however I’m a baker and candy maker. I will start to make my own. Not sure if they will pas’s the test of time.
Joni says
Any place you can get these at WDW?
Pippakim says

Dean says
Three generations were saddened when our favorite treat, the chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Sandwich was discontinued…so glad it’s back…PLEASE STAY…
Amy says
Does anyone know if Marceline’s in Downtown Disney still has these? Will swing by this weekend if they do.
Laura says
I picked one up in Pooh’s Corner in early Sept. It was SO FREAKING GOOD!!!!! I’m kicking myself for not buying a bunch to bring home. I want one right now!!

Sad to say I was not impressed. The Disney PB Sandwhich was my one and only, gotta have it, return trip delight. In shocked amazement my first glimpse caught something I didn’t recognize. A too thick, nutty, version with what appeared to be a smashed Micky gummy plopped on top. I visited several known retailers at Disneyland hoping to find the original. In failure I cautiously purchased three of the suspect PBS from a shop in Downtown Disney plus a Toffee Square for backup. It honestly took several days to get up the nerve to bite into the square confection. No. it’s not right. No crunch. PB to chocolate to graham ratio was off. Don’t know what to do with the gummy Mickey. Do I eat it? Peel it off and do what with it?
Epic fail. Too much of a good thing is not always a good thing. If this a trial run, Disney gets props for keeping it local but please keep it simple. Bring back the PBS of my dreams.
Thank goodness for the Toffee Square. It’s comfort helped lessen the pain.
