Does the above wrapper look familiar? At my old job, we had a vending machine that sold these brownies for $0.25! The company I worked for subsidized the cost of the snacks, one of the perks of the job. During one late night at work, I bought 8 of ‘em!
For some reason, I had a craving for these last week. Now, I’ve only ever seen these sold in vending machines, and I haven’t worked in an office in over 5 years. So started my search.
Here’s what I’ve found so far: Plantation Brownies were manufactured by President Baking, which was acquired by Keebler. Then Kellogg’s later bought out Keebler, and supposedly killed the Plantation Brownie.
Now, rumor has it that Mrs Freshley’s has come out with a Chocolate Fudge Brownie that’s supposed to be very similar to the old Plantation Brownie.
I haven’t been able to find anyone that sells them though, so now I’m on the hunt for that. (In the meantime, I tried Tastycake’s overpriced fudge brownie – Close, but no cigar)
If anyone has any info on this, please let me know.

Try your local Hostess/Wonder Bread store/outlet. The Hostess Fudge Brownie is suspiciously like Plantation’s. It’s even packaged in the same red & white box with a dozen prepackaged brownies. They’re just as rich and chewy as the Plantation ones I remember from the 80s.
Awesome, thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely be checking that out!
Central vending of dc lists them. I used to get them from a machine in northern mn. When I moved to fl they had new England brownies which looked identical but weren’t quite as good.
