Pepperidge Farm Pumpernickel Snack Sticks
By: | May 16, 2006
I can honestly say that I've not eaten much of anything with pumpernickel, but I do love the sound of that word. According to Wikipedia, "pumpernickel is a type of sourdough bread from Germany that is made with a combination of rye flour and rye meal (more coarsely ground than flour) and is very dark in color." The Pumpernickel Snack sticks made by Pepperidge Farm are not like bread, but instead are more like crackers. This means, it's neither very salty, and definitely not sweet. These days, we are more used to the salty taste of potato chips, or the sweet taste of cookies and biscuits, so this may take some getting used to at first. But you get used to it quickly, and I think this is a great snack. In addition to eating them alone, it's also great to eat by dipping into light cream cheese, like Philadelphia Garden Vegetable Light Cream Cheese, or even better, with Laughing Cow Light Spreadable Original Swiss Cheese Flavor Wedges.
The best thing about Pepperidge Farm Pumpernickel Snack Sticks is probably the nutrition. One serving, or about 15 sticks, has 120 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 410 mg of sodium (17% of the RDA), 2 grams of fiber and 1 gram of sugars. One box costs about $3.00, which costs a bit more than Cheez Its for example, but then the nutrition is so much better!

I want to purchase Pepperidge Farm's Pumpernickel Snack Sticks, but cannot find them in the grocery any longer. I use to buy them at Kroger in Louisville, Kentucky. Please advise if I can order them.... of if they have been discontinued
I can not believe Pepperidge Farm has discontinued The Pumpernickel Snack Sticks!!
The new products they replaced them with are not even palable!
If you could order them on the net, I would!!
Where can I but Pepperidge Farm Pumpernickle snac stiks in the Dedham, Ma. 02026 area
It seems we are out of luck for buying Pumpernickel Snack Sticks. They used to make Rye, also. Does anyone know of another product/brand that would be similar?

Snyder's makes Pumpernickle & Onion sticks that are absolutely divine.
Thanks! I'll try them, but not sure about the onion...
I just go back from the local grocery store where the Pepperidge Farms guy was stacking the shelves. He told me they were their number one seller but stopped making them due to one drop of an artificial ingredient. He then called their thrift store and put the last 3 boxes on hold for me. I'm hoping this is some marketing plan by the company only to bring it back new and improved, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll just have to savor my last 3 boxes!

I Loved those snack sticks and no longer does my Publix carry them.
