The manager at walmart told me they were a seasonal item Christmas, maybe Thanksgiving. I called every week last year and never found them. I can't even find chocolate gram crackers. Once in awhile I can find the chocolate teddy bears. Someone told me they were the same as the waffers, but they aren't. however they CAN be used in a pinch!

I love them with milk and they are the only plain chocolate cookie you can buy anywhere. Why are they so elusive?

Why are they so elusive?

I use them to make a lime dessert (lime jello whipped with evaporated milk and sugar and then layered with crushed icebox cookies). I have resorted to buying a chocolate ready made pie crust and breaking it apart. We haven’t had them in Charleston, West Virginia for years.

I live in St Thomas, US Virgin Islands. I discovered this fascinating recipe for "icebox cake" watching the "Barefoot Contessa". Her personal recipe called for chocolate chip cookies. I liked the idea of chocolate wafers once I did some searching for the recipe online. Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers were available in LA (my home state) and in Rhode Island where I lived for five years. I remember seeing them here.... like the Zieback (sp?) children's biscuit I used to use for the crust of a cheese cake. Neither are easy to fine. Zieback has totally disappeared in the States and I have never seen them here. Sad. However, I have found the chocolate wafers for $6.40 for a 9 ounce box. I thought that was expensive. Now I find that I am lucky to have found them at all. Cool. I will be making a mocha chocolate icebox cake for dessert for Saturday night. I think it will be great and the hunt has been fun!

You can find them on the isolated shelf with the sprinkles and U-bet syrup. Wish they'd bring back the actual ICEBOX cookies. I can't find anything on the internet. I swear they are the same cookie, except that they are square. The box was multiple shades of blue. Publix Supermarkets carry these cookies.

Shaw's supermarkets carry them for about 4.79 a box. Get your New England friends to send you some! That's what I'm doing for my friend in Florida. We have them in Maine!
