By the middle of the 19th century, vanilla wafers were already a popular treat in America and could be purchased from most bakeries. The original recipe for Nilla Wafers was created by Gustav A. Mayer, a confectioner from New York. Mayer sold his recipe to the National Biscuit Company soon after it was formed through several mergers of smaller bakeries. The company shortened its name to Nabisco and began selling “Nabisco Vanilla Wafers” in 1898. In the 1940s, Nabisco began printing a recipe for banana pudding on their boxes of Nabisco Vanilla Wafers. It became extremely popular in the American South, which is how the cookies became synonymous with what we now think of as Southern banana pudding (even though the original recipe came from New England). In 1967, Nabisco rebranded the cookies as Nilla Wafers — the name we know and love today. While there are many brands of vanilla-flavored wafers out there, Nabisco’s Nilla Wafers have stood the test of time and remain one of the most popular brands on shelves today.
History. The recipe for vanilla wafers or sugar wafers was invented in the late 19th century by German-American confectioner Gustav A.Mayer on Staten Island. He sold his recipe to Nabisco, and Nabisco began to produce the biscuits under the name Vanilla Wafers in 1898.
The texture is both crispy and aerated, and as they nestle into a bed of whipped cream or pudding, Nilla Wafers hydrate to create dissolve-in-your-mouth crumbs, not wet mush like other brands. It's our platonic ideal of a vanilla wafer cookie.
The bags on shelves right now are the last of the vanilla wafers. I spoke with a representative for Ferrero Roche, which owns Murray Foods, on Friday and another today to confirm the discontinuation.

While consuming expired vanilla wafers may not always pose a health risk, it's essential to exercise caution: Inspect for Spoilage: Before consumption, check for the aforementioned spoilage signs. Storage Integrity: Ensure the packaging has not been compromised, which could lead to contamination.
Great Value (Walmart): The clear favorite among tasters, these wafers have the best vanilla flavor overall and a delicate crunch. Bud's Best (Edwards): Made in Alabama, these crunchy wafers border on toasty (they hold up great in pudding), with present vanilla flavor that ranked them second overall among tasters.
Vanilla wafers aren't particularly suitable for dogs. While they aren't blatantly toxic (unless they contain xylitol), they don't contain many nutrients and are high in sugar. Therefore, we recommend avoiding them. They don't make healthy snacks.
Barnum's Animal Crackers are made with flour, sugar (and some corn syrup), hydrogenated vegetable oil, salt, baking soda as a chemical leavening agent, and lecithin. Ingredient-wise, they are more like Nilla Wafers, or cookies, than Ritz Crackers.
Sometimes during the baking process, a drop of wafer batter can drip onto the next wafer, creating a dark spot of burnt wafer. This is completely harmless to consume.
The popular cookies have been discontinued by Murray Foods, a division of Ferrero Rocher, as of this month, ending the history of an Arkansas company's famed line of sweet fare. Jackson's Cookie Company began in downtown North Little Rock in 1933.
The wafer traces its origin to ancient Egypt, but the descriptive terms applied to it are generally of medieval origin. In Latin, oblatao and oblatum were used to denote cakes made with unleavened flour and water worked into a thin flat round or square sheet of pastry and baked until crisp.
But the banana pudding we know and love wasn't born until 1921, when a home cook named Laura Kerley provided her recipe to Pantagraph in Bloomington, Illinois. Kerley's recipe featured vanilla custard, bananas, and, for the first time, Nabisco Nilla Wafers.
Wafers are formed from flour and water dispersions (batter) with small amounts of fat, sugar, salt and sodium bicarbonate, which are mixed and then confined in preheated moulds3.
