I remember back as a kid when my grandmother would give my older brother and I our very own box of Brach’s Villa Cherries as a Christmas Gift. The box colors were originally red and white with a picture of an elf. Later the package was brown and the elf was eliminated. I looked for this product over the Christmas 2002 and could not locate it anywhere. I asked a store manager to order some boxes but he was informed that Brachs had completely dicontinued this product. I started buying Queen Anne (not even close to as good as Brachs!) Last year I was excited to find out that Brach’s brought back the similar product. I am excited to celebrate Christmas again!

I have eaten these things for as long as I can remember and when you discontinued them in ’03 I just couldn’t believe it. I about had a heart attack when I saw them back on the shelf last christmas but they are not even close to the same as they were. Why?

why were they discontinued with them being so well liked? now that a different version is being produced, why can’t it have the original formula???????

I don’t see much Brach’s anymore, but I remember so fondly those grocery store bulk racks. So thanks for reminding me of some fond memories! Never tried the cherry cordials, I’m still not sure I can get past my suspicion of a big gloopy squirt if I bite the wrong way. But your review makes me think of Spumoni ice cream, which I love, so maybe it is worth the risk…
