I work for my father who owns a distribution business and we used to sell Plantation Brownies along with Olde New England Brownies. I have to say we sold a lot of Peanut Butter Plantation Brownies, which also happened to be my favorite. We won't talk about how many never got sold because I ate them first. Anyway, after the brownie line was destroyed by Keebler, we haven't sold brownies. Just the other day we acquired a new vending account and he was wondering if we could get him Plantation Brownies to sell in his machines, which is how I found this thread. I am very sad that I will have to tell him I can't get them (and that I will never eat another one!). I just thought that I would add my two cents into the mix. Steve, thank you and your family for having once made a terrific brownie! Steve,

Looks like Mrs. Freshley's Fudge Brownies may be at Dollar Tree stores (that may be a regional store, but they may ship). Here is the source: http://voices.yahoo.com/a-review-mrs-freshleys-fudge-brownies-chocolate-5852568.html You could also make your own "Plantation Brownies;" here is a book with a recipe for this treat: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0912661038/spguys-20" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/shadow-hill-book-of-squares-bars-and-brownie</a> Good luck!

I never ate vending machine food when I was in the corporate world. This is the first that I’ve heard/seen of Plantation Brownies. I never ate vending machine food when I was in the corporate world.

Unfortunately they are no longer manufactured. I am one of the family members of Plantation. We sold the company in 1986. It was a great company! Since 1986 the company was sold several times along with other baking companies. It was last owned by Keebler/Kellogg. They did a great job of ruining it. So I am sorry to say it is gone. I wish it was still around and we owned it. I will elt my dad know you remember and care. Thanks for all of your support. Steve K.

The fudge icing was delicious! I once received a letter (1985) from a prison inmate in Florida. He would buy two brownies and one pack of our cookies from the prison commissary and make what he called a "Smash Sandwich." So you see everyone had their interesting way of eating our product. Oh, and he wanted a job when he was released to work on packaging and marketing his idea! Thany you for think about Plantation, my dad will appreciate it very much. All my best.
