​​NEWTONS Soft Baked Real Fruit Fig Bars, Fig Cookies, 10 Snack Packs (2 Cookies Per Pack)

It was a mistake for Nabisco to re-brand this product to simply "Newtons" instead of "Fig Newtons" in 2012, ostensibly to focus attention on flavored varieties. I believe at the same time they changed the recipe. I noticed that the fig filling just didn't taste as good as the original, and the dough coating is brittle and bland tasting. I wrote to them and complained, whereupon I'm sure they convened an executive council to address my concerns. If you're looking for the original Fig Newton, you won't find it in this product, but forget the knock-off wannabes; they're even worse. The current product is the closest you'll come to the original.

There’s nothing on this planet that hits the spot better than these tasty treats. The larger size makes them easier to handle while on the road. The cake is soft and melts in your mouth. The center is not too sweet and mildly chewy. Gotta love this as a perfect dessert on the road.
