Brand history

The distinctive design was thought to have been created by William A. Turnier but Nabisco maintains that there is "no way of knowing who came up with the actual visual concept".[5]

In December 2017, a Nutter Butter cereal line was launched by Post Consumer Brands.[6][7] It debuted at Walmart with a box retailing at around $4.[8]

In October 2018, Krispy Kreme released Nutter Butter and Chips Ahoy! doughnuts which joined the pre-existing Oreo doughnuts.[9] The next year, in January 2019, chocolate fudge-covered Nutter Butters were released alongside similarly covered Oreos.[10]

In May 2019, the CEO of Mondelez International, Dirk Van de Put announced in an interview with CNBC that the company was giving "serious consideration" to adding CBD to certain product lines such as Nutter Butter.[11] He did however say that adding CBD to its family brands "may not be in the company's best interest".[12]
